Nokia Announces New Phones And Joins The Slim Club

Nov 28, 2006, 2:17 PM by (staff)

Nokia today announced three new handsets that will work in the US, each of which has at least one notable quality. One is an inexpensive S60 3rd edition phone, one a slim, stylish candybar in stainless steel, and the third is a revised UMA clamshell that is headed for US shores. All three are expected in the first quarter of 2007.

6290: An S60 smartphone in a small clamshell body with interchangeable "quick covers." Features a 128 x 160 external color display with 3 navigation keys and a large QVGA internal display like the N75. Quad-band GSM/EDGE plus UMTS 2100. Features 2 Megapixel camera with flash plus internal video call camera, 50 MB built-in memory and MicroSD slot, Bluetooth, IR, FM radio and stereo speakers.
6300: A stylish stainless steel candybar that's 13mm thick. Triband GSM/EDGE (850/1800/1900) with a 16.7 million color QVGA display, 2 Megapixel camera, Bluetooth, MicroSD slot, FM radio and media player.
6086: Nokia's second UMA clamshell has a number of downgrades from the 6136 but adds Bluetooth to quad-band GSM/EDGE and Wi-Fi. Features a monochrome external display, VGA camera, MicroSD slot, media player and FM radio.

skidiver22

What's the difference...

JohnDoe54

I guess the "quick covers," camera on the front, and maybe thinner?

If anyone knows... do tell!

JohnDoe54
