    Customers looking for a no-nonsense clamshell that does Bluetooth on the cheap now have a new option from T-Mobile in the form of Nokia's dual display-packin' 6103. This tri-band flip phone, which is a followup to the company's 6101 "Buttons for Humans" model, doesn't offer much in the way of features -- besides Bluetooth, all that's notable here are the FM radio and VGA camera -- but you can pick one up for the low low price of $70 after rebates.

  • Nokia reorients target demographic, designs "Buttons for Humans"

    If you or anyone you love has ever been subjected to the horrors of a Nokia keypad gone terribly wrong, you're sure to get a chuckle out of their new "Buttons for Humans" slogan for the 6101 clamshell. Russell Beattie gives the campaign a great sendup, and has collected a few of his favorite instruments of torture as seen above. We'd just like to know who the buttons were for in those pre-6101 days of pain. Cthulhu? Dolphins? Your mom? We know Nokia has a wide customer base to please, but we'd really like to know which alien race they got to do usability testing for some of these handsets.[Via Russell Beattie]
