Nokia throws down three 6's at 3GSM
posted Feb 14th 2005 8:08AM
The press conference has just started, and our friends at Phone Scoop have already posted the skinny on Nokia's new
handsets. First off is the smallest Series 60 smartphone yet, the 6682. This beauty features a 1.3
megapixel camera, LED flash, and a 262k color display. The tiny handset also includes Push to Talk, an MMC slot,
and EDGE/GPRS all rolled nice and tight. The 6682 is slated for the second quarter.
Next up is the 6680, which builds upon the 6682 by adding WCDMA and swapping push-to-talk for a secondary VGA camera
to support video calls. The active slide cover for the primary camera will automatically switch between cameras
during video calls. The 6680 should drop next month.
Finally Nokia has announced the 6101, a clamshell with Xpress audio messaging, color primary and sub displays, a VGA
camera, and push-to-talk. This tri-band beauty will come in EU and US frequency flavors in the second
quarter.
Okay. I want a 6680. I really do want one of these beauties but ... two questions: the network pay monthly price? And: what UK networks?
The Nokia 6630 should come down in price now (already has on Orange) ... so that might tempt me instead ...
Your comments: MMC?.. MMC?!? Gah! What's the deal? I was checking the price of MMC's for my current Nokia about a year ago at my local electronic gizmo store and when I finally got somebody's attention (by handling something expensive) he was doubtful whether they still carried such an old format. He then acted surprised to find one 32MB card in stock for a stupid-spensive price.
I realize this guy may have been trying to leverage a sale against my pride and overstating the antequated-ness of MMC, but if Nokia would just use an SD slot I could pick one up at any drugstore or supermarket.
These phones would probably hit America in 2007!
these babes r available on ebay ... i love the face-to-face communication feature and live-video sharing.
