Considering the prices of the phone and the features available, Nokia is betting big on budget-conscious buyers who are thrifty when it comes to buying a mobile phone. They would be happy to buy Nokia's new series of phones which have dedicated features like the Facebook button as well as a new feature Slam which allows users to transfer multimedia files without having to pair the devices.

Finnish company Nokia launched two new phones, Asha 205 and Nokia 206. The Asha 205 and Nokia 206 are the first mobile phones equipped with Nokia's exclusive feature Slam.
