Woke up at 6am because we have to be at the venue by 7.30am to get good seats. The press conference starts at 8am.
Nokia only announce 5 new devices for MWC 2014 and these devices are catered the lower end market, Nokia X, Nokia X+, Nokia XL, Nokia 220 & Nokia Asha 230.
Thanks to Nokia Connects (@Nokia_Connects) for the invite to Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014! This is my third trip to such a big event with Nokia Connects. The first was Nokia World 2011 in London and the second was Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, Spain.
Our itinerary for this year MWC was shorter by a day. Despite it being shorter by a day, I find this year trip is more relaxing! We flew in on Sunday, 23rd February 2014 and flew back on Wednesday, 26th February 2014.
Apart from the three Nokia Android phones, Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL, being announced, Nokia also announced the Nokia 220 and the Nokia Asha 230.
Both the Nokia 220 and Nokia Asha 230 will be available in single or dual SIM version.
Nokia 220
The Nokia 220/Nokia 220 (Dual SIM) will be retailing for €29 (~S$51) immediately.
Nokia has launched their first family of phones running on Android (sort of) at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014.
The reason why I say “Android (sort of)” is because there is no Google Play services in the Nokia X family of phones, instead it is been replaced by Microsoft Services.
Looking Back 2012, I wanted to travel to several countries which I sort of did!
For my 2013 resolution/wish, I want to travel more. Maybe to Australia, Japan, Korea, London or even New York if possible.
