Just a day after Safaricom upgraded its base stations in various regions within Nairobi to offer 3G connection speed of up to 21Mbps, Orange must have been planning a checkmate move after they unveiled 3G services with similar speed in Kenya’s major towns; Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa. I must criticize Safaricom for their discriminatory approach of only targeting parts anticipated to be heavy consumers of their data services rather than targeting the entire town, Orange Telkom Kenya might just be the better option Kenyans have been waiting for.

Unlike its other two siblings, Nokia 701 Helen is equipped with an 8.0-megapixel camera; 3.0 pixels higher than 700 and 600 but same 720 pixels video recording capability.

There is very slim features setting this two devices apart; but if you ask me, I consider Nokia 700 ZETA to be on the upper hand despite its Symbian software.
