Nokia has announced three new phones in its 'affordable' category, the Nokia 2730 classic, Nokia 2720 fold and Nokia 7020, but with the added bonus of the former being its cheapest 3G model as well.

While the Finnish company often releases low cost handsets to supply emerging markets and those interested in just having a phone with no bells and whistles, the €80 (£71) price tag of the 3G-enabled 2730 is a big step for a top-tier manufacturer.
