If you’re this type of a person, or at least one who’s looking for an easy-on-the-pocket phone that can do most of the basic stuff and then some, then Nokia’s new dual SIM treat – the Nokia Asha 206 – might just be what you need.

This here’s s your traditional alphanumeric candybar handset, souped up with a 1.3-megapixel cam ‘round the back and comes preloaded with Facebook as well as Nokia’s newest innovation, Slam.

And when I say easy-on-the-pocket, I mean it won’t cost you more than three grand to own. SRP of the Nokia 206 Dual is just Php2,850.
