Microsoft unveils Nokia 215 with Facebook Messenger and long battery life

Microsoft has unveiled the Nokia 215 and the Nokia 215 Dual SIM at CES 2015. This affordable feature phone is priced at just $29 off-contract, and offers support for Facebook Messenger along with a long battery life.

In a world of smartphones, the Nokia 215 features a simple 2.4 inch display with a 240 x 320 pixel resolution. You also get a VGA camera, FM radio up to 32GB of microSD support and a built in flashlight.

Besides Facebook, you also get Twitter and the Opera mini web browser. Microsoft services like MSN Weather and Bing search are also present.
