Sneak Peek| Nokia’s New Phones

Nokia gave us a preview of their up and coming phones for 2005. Take a sneak peak at what they are and what they look like!
The Nokia 6030 is Nokia’s new low-cost, full service Series 40 phone. It features large fonts, hands-free talking, and an FM radio. With its ease of use and large fonts, it’s a pretty good choice for young moms who simply want to have a decent phone to bring along.


The Nokia 6101 is the smallest fold phone to come from Nokia. This Series 40 phone has a camera and dual displays. It offers 16MB of onboard memory, EDGE and Push-to-Talk support, infrared and Pop-Port, and can record videos. The price is bound to be competitive, with an SRP that would probably be at the 12 to 13 thousand range. You won’t be seeing this phone on the shelves until May though.
The Nokia 6230i manages to improve even further on the 6230, which to me is already the current king of value engineering. What makes the 6230i even better is a 1.3 megapixel camera, a bigger high-res screen, the ability to play not just MP3s but also AAC and MP4 media files, EDGE and Push-to-Talk support, MMS 1.2 support for larger MMS sends, infrared, Bluetooth and a Pop-Port. What’s more, not only does it have 32MB of onboard memory, but it will also come bundled with a 64MB MMC card as well!
And here’s Nokia’s up and coming crown jewel, the Nokia 6680. This 3G-ready phone can actually run on WCDMA and GSM environments, allowing it to automatically adjust to just about any telecom infrastructure in up to five continents!
But what makes this really interesting is that it is Nokia’s first dual-camera phone: It has a 1.3 megapixel camera with 6x variable zoom and flash on one side, plus a VGA cam on the inside, which is good for video calls and the like. What’s more, it is PictBridge compliant, allowing you to print to any PictBridge printer just by connecting to it via USB cable. It has an MS Office and PDF file viewer, as well as RealOne that allows it to run as an MP3 player. It uses RS-MMC cards for extra memory.
And there you have it, Nokia’s new offerings over the next few months. Expect them to hit the shelves around April and May.
