We just saw three new handsets from Nokia last night and today two new ones were announced — the super-cheap Nokia 100 and the dual-SIM Nokia 101.
Following the new naming-system, the Nokia 101 could also be the cheapest dual-SIM phone from Nokia with an estimated retail price of under Php1,500.
The candybar handset is pretty basic — 1.8″ screen, FM radio, MP3 player and microSD card slot. Like the Nokia C1-00, it’s not dual-standby too Correction: It’s dual-standby as well.
I had this phone on 3-25-2012. and all i can say is the phone is not used to multi-tasking. i also experienced the same issues you guys had. major hang time, auto restart, no sim active. ever since i bought the phone, it took frequent trips to the Nokia service center. replaced my firmware at a whopping 6.90 and mother board after the 2nd visit. all i can say is when you type a long message and receive a long one in response (especially if your heavy in texting) unlock the phone quickly while the light blinks and you’ll notice the lights dim for a bit, count 10 seconds flat and boom….your phone dies and you lose your call logs.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing the info with us. I am using Nokia X2 which is a good mobile with all its features but I need a dual sim mobile now, I would be using it along with X2. I am looking for a cheap mobile and I think Nokia 101 would be perfect.
hi karen,
anong color and san country gawa?
how is it? di mo ba naexperience yung restart issue? if yes how often and ano usually yung ginagawa mo pag biglang nagrerestart?
thanks for the expert opinion.
i was at trinoma yesterday.. nagiisa nalang n101 nila, unfortunately red pa. lol! i want the black one
Cheers!
hi. kakabili ko lang kahapon ng nokia 101. ok siya. nagwowork ang dalawang sim ng sabay, nakakatanggap pareho ng messages at calls. yun nga lang parang medyo mahina yung battery niya.
hi everyone,
nokia 101 is available nationwide.
at around P1,500 you get the best out of it. An additional P500 for 4gb memory card.
i’m also planning to get one but still waiting for expert opinions so users please share your hands on experiences. thanks and good luck!
cheers!!
