Microsoft releases a $37 feature phone
 

Still making Nokias

Software king of the world, Microsoft appears to be still making Nokia phones, despite flogging the its feature phone business to a subsidiary of Foxconn.


This morning it showed off its latest Nokia 216 feature phone which it is planning to peddle in India for $37. The new Nokia 216 is one of the most basic phones that Microsoft manufactures. It includes a 2.4-inch QVGA display, with 0.3-megapixel cameras at the front and rear, running on the Series 30 OS with the Opera mini browser. It has some really cool technology called a headphone jack which means that it is not affected by wi-fi noise and is easier to control (we expect Apple to copy this feature any day now).
