I’m writing this from Kuala Lumpur, where I’m attending the Asian portion of Nokia’s worldwide launch of several new phones - five to be exact. The launch, called Toast To The Classics, was held at the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton Hotel in KL, Malaysia, where I’m attending as part of the Philippine delegation. Aside from stuffing us full with food and wine last night (they launched the phones under a culinary motif, where a specially invited Australian Chef prepared new dishes corresponding to each of the new phones, resulting in a three-hour dinner), they stuffed us with a special hands-on demo and presentation for the new products.

Generally, the new units are for the upgraders among us, those who want to update their phones with the newest improvements in telecommunication technology, and refresh and renew the look of their cell. These phones take advantage of the latest multimedia developments, particularly in the audio and video aspects, and in email and 3G technology. The units are supposed to be available in the Philippines beginning in April.

I’ll do a more detailed report, along with the precise features, specifications and improvements in the next issue of mPH, but here’s a flash preview of how they look:
