Today in Chongqing, China, Nokia introduced three new handsets for the world's emerging markets. The Nokia 1112, pictured above, has its emphasis on ease of use and is to a large extent a 1110 with a new display. It uses a simple icon based UI as well as large fonts. Like some prior Nokia handsets for emerging markets, the 1112 has a demo mode that will show novice users the ins and outs of the device. The demo mode also works without a SIM card in order to allow potential buyers to get a better feel for the phone before they have to lay down their money to buy one.
The 1112 weighs 80g (2.8oz), measures 104mm x 44mm x 17mm (4.1" x 1.7" x .7"), and has a battery that should be good for 5 hours of talk time or up to 15 days of standby time. It has features that include a Speaking Clock and an Alarm, as well as some pre-installed games. The 1112 will be available in two different dual-band configurations that should be able to work in any of the various world GSM markets.
The 1112 will be available in a number of different colors and should retail for the extremely low price of 45 EUR - before taxes and any carrier subsidies. Nokia expects the 1112 to be available for purchase in Q2 of this year in "all regions" except for, ironically, China.
