The Nokia 1255 weighs 80gms phone and offers productivity tools such as a two-way handsfree speakerphone, voice recorder and calendar with an alarm clock.

'Fun' features include two built-in games, 20 ringtones and a selection of user-selectable screen savers.

A partial list of additional features includes: 250 contact phonebook, text messaging, stopwatch and countdown timer, internal vibrating alert, and easy-to-use Nokia user interface.

The Nokia 2355 phone delivers an ultra-compact, colour screen, 78gms fold-style phone to the entry-level market. The 128 x 128 pixel 65k colour screen, built-in FM radio and integrated flashlight allow the Nokia 2355 phone to deliver a unique set of features to owners, while the ability to download BREW 1.2 or Java MIDP 1.0 content, eg, ringtones, games and screensavers, offers value-added services that meet the needs of both consumers and operators.

Other selected features of the Nokia 2355 phone include: text and multimedia messaging, integrated speakerphone, WAP 2.0 compliant browser, 16-chord polyphonic ringtones, and calendar with alarm clock.
