Verizon lights up Nokia 6315i from Pantech
See, that wasn't so bad, was it? We teased you with a nice shot of Nokia's 6315i from ghost-manufacturer Pantech, and here we are just one short week later with the official launch. Just a quick refresher: Pantech's contribution to the Nokia CDMA stable brings EV-DO, a 1.3-megapixel cam, microSD expansion, Bluetooth, and external music controls for $80 after discounts with a fresh two-year agreement. In the realm of industrial design, it's no K1m, but it's got one thing going for it that the KRZR doesn't -- it's available now.[Via phoneArena, thanks to everyone who sent this in]
Nokia gets cozy with Pantech for EV-DO
Say you're the world's largest cellphone manufacturer. Maybe you made a few bad decisions along the way; threw your weight behind the wrong technologies, caught the wrath of CDMA's keeper, and now you're missing out on the EV-DO party. That's precisely the quandary Nokia has found itself facing, and as we've already seen with the 6315i, they're turning to Korea's Pantech to bail them out. In exchange for a pair of rebranded Pantech EV-DO handsets, Nokia will dish out $129 million. That's a lot of zeroes after the 129 there, when we've yet to see a Pantech headed to these shores we'd even pay $129 for.
Nokia 6315i musicphone approved by FCC
It looks like Pantech and Nokia have been hanging out again, but this time Nokia will be the one dropping the rebranded handset, an EV-DO-sporting model for Verizon known as the 6315i (and formerly known as the PN-E330). Phone Scoop discovered this recent approval while enjoying the FCC website, and reports back that it features a 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD slot, and Bluetooth, along with dedicated external music controls. We'll let you know when we find out a release date and some pricing info for this fairly feature-filled flip phone.[Via Phone Scoop]
