Headline : Meet the £15 Nokia 130: Music, video and phone skills on an extreme budget.

"Although we absolutely love feature-packed, range-topping smartphones like the HTC One (M8), there’s something refreshing about cheap, bargain-basement phones – especially for festivals. And at just £15, they don’t come much more affordable than the new Nokia 130. Read on for all the details!"

My thoughts :

Stocking filler and or one for the glove box maybe ! Pretty decent little phones and at such a price.

£15 Nokia that actually packs a punch!

Anonymous — Tue, 12 Aug 2014 09:05:34 GMT

Microsoft is staying committed to the low-end non-smartphone market with the launch of the new $25 Nokia 130 handset.

Running Nokia OS, the device has no internet connection and is primarily aimed at consumers keen on listening to music and watching videos on their phones.

The Nokia 130 is equiped with a built-in video player, MP3 player and FM radio.

Movies can be played from an SD card for up to 16 hours while the MP3 player will play music for up to 46 hours.

Users can share content via the SD card, a USB or using Bluetooth with SLAM technology.

The phone comes with a 1.8" (4.6cm) colour screen.

In an interview with the BBC, Jo Harlow, head of Microsoft’s phones business, said: 'This is a massive market segment, and there are not a lot of players in this segment for the reason that scale is really important.'

As far as I can tell there are no plans to release this in the UK though.
