Apart from this C3 model, Nokia has also lined up two more phones; C6 and E5 which is priced at about Shs620,000 and Shs510,000 respectively. As per Ms Dorothy Ooko, Nokia’s Communications Manager for East and Southern Africa, the introduction of these three new model is aiming at promoting social networking by offering affordable tools. Ms Ooko also added that these new mobile phones from Nokia are cheaper alternative for consumers who can not afford to purchase other smartphones available in the market which are really expensive. Expensive rates have hindered the penetration of Smart phones in the East Africa market.
