Designed to appeal to "young, urban consumers", the devices can be used to access Facebook, Twitter and other social media networks directly, or through the Nokia Browser. Additionally, Nokia 112 features a preloaded eBuddy instant messaging service.
“Today’s mobile phone users want a quick internet experience that allows them to discover great content and share it with their friends – but without being held back by high data costs,” said Nokia’s Executive Vice President Mary T McDowell.
“The new Nokia 110 and Nokia 112 devices combine browsing, social media, apps, world-class entertainment and long battery life,” she added.
Commenting on the consumer habits in Pakistan, Vice President Near East Nokia Imran Mahmood said “our vision is to give the youth of Pakistan their first internet experience on a Nokia mobile device. And we are very pleased to have made great progress in this direction with our rich, affordable and power packed portfolio”

I cant comprehend the fact that almost everywhere in the Asian continent you can find Lumia phones of Nokia but they are yet to arrive in Pakistan. Meanwhile others phones are making inroads into Pakistani smartphone market Nokia has yet to cover ground in that respect.
This is a step in the right direction, but what Pakistan really needs is more affordable and robust mobile Internet devices such as smartphones and tablets to help spread knowledge and access to online education for its young demographics. This is likely to happen as the technology enables costs and prices to come down and bandwidths to increase in the next couple of years.
