As Smartphones get smarter as well as more expensive, however there is still a huge market at the other end of the spectrum for less sophisticated mobiles. Not everyone wants or needs an all singing, all dancing phone that does the ironing and makes the dinner.
Enter the Nokia C1-02. Its cheap, handy, bright screen and big buttons simplicity matches it's ease of use. Yet, it has access to Ovi Mail and Ovi Chat, if that blows your hair back. It comes in a box that is not oversized, which means it has much less of an impact on Mother Earth and your carbon footprint. It claims to have 10 hours talk time and 22 days of standby. Weighing in at 77g and measuring 108 x 45 x 14mm this is a nice and compact phone easy on the pocket lining.
The interface is very tidy, other than the time, date and some wallpaper to power it up - you’ll find a wide array of apps to plug into. The only thing it does not have, that you might notice, is a camera. That however, will save your battery. If you're going back to basics and want to take an eco-friendly approach then Nokia C1-02 is the one for you...
