In an effort to escape the drudgery of predictable design Nokia have turned to geometric shapes to spice up its handsets. The 7070 is a quad-band GSM handset that has email support alongside standard calling and messaging.
Nokia invite you to "express your passion and creativity" with the Nokia 5000 handset, however, the 1.3-megapixel camera is unlikely to help too much with this goal. It will make calls though, and send messages, and knowing Nokia phones it's bound to do both very well.
Nokia's 6212 Classic may look like a standard Nokia phone, but it has an extra and unique trick up it's sleeve. Basic mobile connectivity like EDGE data and Bluetooth are complimented with an Near Field Communications (NFC) chip for high speed data transfers over short distances.
If you have the phone and the cash, the Nokia Bluetooth Speakers MD-7W make an ideal accessory to maximise your music handset.
Compare PricesLike the baby brother of the 6600 Slide, the 3600 features the same rounded body and glossy finish. Running on Nokia's S40 operating system the 3600 is a 2G phone featuring a 3.2-megapixel camera with dual-LED photo lights. The 3600 Slide is expected to be released in Q3.
The 6600 Slide may look like a number of recent N-Series handsets but lacks the powerhouse tech of Nokia's flagship range. The Slide features 3G connectivity and a 2-megapixel camera. Check back for a full review of the 6600 Slide when it's released in Q3 2008.
Nokia describes the 6600 fold as "beautiful to use" indicating that when opened the handset will conform to the shape of the face, as well as being spring-loaded to save you the torment of opening the phone with muscle power. This 3G phone also features a 3.2-megapixel camera and is expected to be released in Q3.
While the 5220 XpressMusic appears feature poor compared to tis big brother the 5330, it makes up for it in its super-slim 10mm thickness. Add a lanyard clip and asymmetrical design and you have a quirky handset which may only be held back by its lack of 3G. The 5220 will be available in Q3 of 2008.
Nokia's 5320 XpressMusic will lead the Finnish companies music line, being both a music playing handset and a capable Web browser with HSDPA data. The 5320 also sports a 2-megapixel shooter with a flash. Expect to see the 5320 in stores in Q3 2008.
The notion of a 2G phone is novel if not a little mind-boggling. The previous 6300 was a pre-paid favourite in Australia, and this incremental upgrade should be similarly well received. Expect the 6300i to be release in Q2.
The 6124 is an HSDPA enhanced candybar phone from Nokia. Running on Nokia's S60 platform guarantees the 6124 should have similar software capabilities as some of Nokia's high-end phones. We expect to see the 6124 in Q2.
It's hard to find the differences between the 6121 Classic and its predecessor, the 6120 Classic. Asides from a few subtle differences to the 3G frequency reception, they look like identical handsets, with HSDPA and a 2-megapixel camera.
Compare PricesNokia busts free of it boxy designs and piano-black finishes to deliver a uniquely designed, if potentially ugly, handset. The 7900 Prism is a quad-band GSM handset with a 2-megapixel camera and 1GB of storage. Pink, diamond shaped buttons anyone?
Compare PricesNokia's 6220 Classic is quite a feature-heavy handset for a mid-range phone, with a spec sheet similar to the flagship N96. HSDPA, Wi-Fi, assisted GPS and a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics all packed into a relatively slim candybar form.
Compare PricesWith turn-by-turn directions and a built-in digital compass, the 6210 Navigator could be the best GPS-enabled phone of 2008.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it: the N78 looks like the N81 and the N82 mashed together with an FM transmitter onboard to sweeten the deal.
Compare PricesThe Nokia N96 is a step up from the Nokia N95 8GB and offers some truly mouth-watering features.
Shaped like a giant stick of lipstick or the butt of a Star Wars lightsaber, the MD-6 flips open to reveal stereo speakers which deliver quite a big sound for such a small package.
Compare PricesIf you're a person who'd gladly pay the extra for a Ferrari over a Ford, then the 8800 Arte may be exactly the phone you've been waiting for.
