Nokia has just announced the availability of four handset in Philippines, the Symbian Belle-based Nokia 700 and 701, Symbian Anna-powered Nokia 500 and the Nokia 101 feature-phone.

The phones are available for purchase starting this week at all Nokia stores across the country for prices ranging from P14,490 to P1,490.

The most expensive of the four is Nokia 701, which is priced at P15,990 ($370 or 270 EUR), while the next line is Nokia 700 valued at P14,490 (about $334 or 243 EUR).

Nokia 500 will be available for P9,290 ($214 or 156 EUR), whereas the cheapest is the Nokia 101, which will go for P1,490 ($34 or 25 EUR).

Nokia 701 and 701 are delivered with Symbian Belle on board, as well as NFC (Near Field Communication) support.

Each are equipped with a 1 GHz processor, but pack different cameras and touchscreen displays.

Nokia 701 has a 3.5-inch LED-backlit IPS TFT, capacitive touchscreen with 360 x 640 pixels resolution, whereas Nokia 700 comes with a slightly smaller 3.2-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.

However, both are protected by Gorilla Glass and are based on Nokia's ClearBlack display technology.

“Nokia stands true to its commitment of connecting the next billion consumers with these four new features-packed, high-powered handsets. These new mobile phones each address specific consumer needs, promising to enhance user experience,” said Mike Smith, device portfolio manager of Nokia Philippines.

Nokia 500 is one of the affordable Symbian Anna smartphones recently launched by the Finnish company.

Except the 1GHz processor, the phone's specs are not impressive at all. It comes with a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen with 16 million colors support and 360 x 640 pixels resolution.

The smarpthone also offers 2GB of internal memory, 256 MB of RAM, 512 MB of ROM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).

Last, but not least, the 101 is Nokia's cheapest dual-sim handset and comes with features such as flashlight, FM Radio and microSD card slot.
