The phone costs $29 (£19) and comes with the Opera Mini Browser and
Facebook Messenger built in, and can run Twitter and other apps. Despite
that, it is mostly a low-spec phone — with a 320 x 240 pixel display, a
0.3 megapixel camera, a radio and a torch as its headline features.
But
that is likely to help it pick up buyers in the budget market,
especially in developing countries. And the lack of hi-tech features
mean that it is a robust phone, built to be durable and with a battery
that can last up to a month. The software is also built for more
difficult terrains, and the built-in apps can work without a 3G
connection.
And the torch might sound like a minor addition, but Microsoft points
out that it will be useful in the markets that it hopes the phone will
be shipping into — such as the 20% of the world that don’t have regular
access to electricity.
Microsoft announced the phone as its “most
affordable internet-ready entry-level phone yet”, saying that it would
be “perfectly suited for first-time mobile phone buyers or as a
secondary phone for just about anyone”.
The phone will be released in Europe as well as the Middle East, Africa
and Asia in the first quarter of 2015. It is available in a normal
version as well as a dual SIM one. ...TheIndependent
Yeepee! Hehe...
