Nokia C2-00

This is a basic feature phone built for calls, texts, and not much else. The 1.8-inch TFT screen runs at 128 x 160 pixels, and with only 16 MB of RAM and 64 MB of internal storage, you're looking at microSD support up to 32 GB if you want to store anything beyond contacts and a few tunes. Nokia C2-00 price in Malaysia starts from RM190, putting it firmly in budget backup-phone territory.

There's a VGA rear camera for the occasional snapshot, though don't expect much beyond 640x480 resolution, and there's no front camera at all. Bluetooth v2.1 handles file transfers since there's no Wifi or GPS onboard. The 1020 mAh battery is the highlight here, paired with a light 74.1g body that's easy to carry as a spare or emergency device. It comes in five colours: Dynamic Gray, Jet Black, Magenta, Dark Blue, and Snow White.
