Nokia 100 and Nokia 101 - both are S30 phones targeting developing markets and have color screens and long lasting batteries on offer.
The Nokia 101 is slated to cost just €25 ($35) but packs quite a bit of features - it's a dual-SIM phone (900/1800MHz, no dual-standby), with a 1.8" 128x160 pixels display, microSD card slot (for cards up to 16GB), MP3 player, 3.5mm audio jack, FM radio and a powerful 103-phon loudspeaker.
The Nokia 100 is cheaper still at €20 ($30) and is a single-SIM device that is stripped of everything but the essentials. It has an FM radio and the same color screen as the 101. It's battery lasts even longer - up to 7 hours of talk time and 35 days of standby. It has a flashlight too and comes in a wide variety of colors.

The important point is nokia has realized Indian consumer values battery life more than many other market :)
It comes with a Li-Ion 1020 mAh (BL-5C) - India market and a BL-5CB 850mAH battery elsewhere.
Nokia 100 will be priced at ~1k and Nokia 101 for ~1.5k i guess.
Sadly the 101 lacks dual SIM standby :( (Guess it is to prevent it to eating into the X1-01 sales)

I suppose No Dual standby means only one SIM will be "active" at a time. So you won't be receiving any calls on the other SIM in that case.
 
This is the exact same hardware/phone as the X1-01 and X1-00, Nokia has just repackaged the same board into a new shell!

EDIT, just noticed, remove the X from the X1-01 and X1-00, it becomes 101 and 100 :P
Probably trying to bring all phones under they new naming convention.
