Nokia Asha 205 and Nokia 206

Nokia announced a duo of brightly colored phones Monday – the socially minded Nokia Asha 205 and the Nokia 206 feature phone.

Both phones have dual-SIM variants which give users side access to a SIM card slot, allowing them to easily swap out cards without turning off the phone.

The feature allows users to have a work and private number on the same phone, among other applications.

The only difference is the dual-SIM versions have a little less battery life.
