Cingular's replacements for the Nokia 6030 and 6102i?

Are the oddly-named Nokia Ram and Samsung Cardinal for Cingular about to drop? According to a recent Cingular product intro sheet supplied by the Boy Genius, they both are. What will they be replacing in the Cingular lineup, though -- if not just being added? How about the entry-level and aging Nokia 6030 bar non-cameraphone being replaced by the Samsung Cardinal and the Nokia 6102i entry-level cameraphone being replaced by the newer Nokia Ram? We still have no idea what those funky codenames mean -- outside of the truck and bird world, that is. A reader gave us this detail and added that he was unable to get any pics of both phones since Nokia Vendor was closely guarding these, umm, top-secret phones.

[Thanks, pappie]

and no, the codenames don't make any sense to me either. i bet the samsung cardinal is either the a717 or the a727 (both phones are shown in phonescoop.com's CES2007 in depth article

my store received the dummie version of the new nokia flip today...very basic camera flip phone, shaped a little funny looking when looking at it from the side as it tapers off. also 1 thing that i can see being a huge problem with it is that the power button is on the side...right next to the camera button, i can definitely see some non-sober people turning their phone off trying to take pics lol

Pablo has it right.

yes pablo is right, except the 6085 production model has more black on it than that picture shows

Well, as it stands, the only definate is the Nokia 6126. As stated before these were released today, however, its doubtful its a "basic" phone. In reguards to the pricing? 300$ possible cost means 3G, 1.3 MegaPixel Camera, Bluetooth, and possibly Myspace Mobile built in? Who knows what else this baby has in its basket, but from the slim display, and slip resistant back, Nokia did this one up nicely. I took a few photos of the phone.
