Nokia 6208c poses for beauty shots
Outside Asia, the world seems to have turned squarely against styli in the past couple years -- but devices like Nokia's 6208c certainly give us pause. ePrice has a review of the freshly-announced set with plenty of fabulous pictures, and unless you're in a Chinese-speaking territory, this is about as close as you'll likely ever get to one. Most of us know Series 40 as a purely button-based platform, but it looks like Nokia has done a commendable job of adapting the UI to the demands of a touchscreen and on-screen character entry -- and it doesn't hurt that the phone's mighty nice to look at, either. Wonder if that stylus would open a bottle of Tsingtao?[Via Daily Mobile]
Nokia's 6208c now official, officially in love with stylus input
Nokia's 6208c (or 6208 classic, if you prefer) isn't arriving as a surprise, though it is quite nice to see it being made completely official. The rather unique handset was designed with the Chinese market in mind, as it boasts an integrated, removable stylus modeled after bamboo slips for inputting Chinese characters via pen. You'll also notice a stainless steel back cover, 3.2-megapixel camera (with twin LED flash), a 4x digital zoom and a microSD slot for expanding storage. Mum's the word on pricing, but it should be loosed in "select markets" during the first half of 2009.
