Nokia readies two new CDMA phones
11:40 PM
A Nokia site reveals the first information on a couple of new CDMA
phones. Both seem to be targeting the Chinese market and we don’t
believe they will come to the U.S. carriers, but nothing is impossible.
Nokia 3608
is a very simple clamshell, with 1.3-megapixel camera, microSD slot,
two color displays and music controls when closed. It is very similar
to the 3606 but lacks the AWS band.
Nokia 8208
on the other hand, is an interesting multimedia device. It is
dual-slider, similar to the Nokia N95: on the one side it has numeric
keypad and on the other, music controls. It features a 2.2-inch QVGA
display with up to 16 million colors and 3-megapixel camera. The 150MB
of built-in memory is expandable via microSD card, and a music player
and FM radio are present as well, the battery is claimed for 20 hours
of continuous play and a 3.5mm jack is present.
Nokia 3608 is
said to use Series 40-like UI and the 8208/8208c has “Series 40 spec”
user interface. We guess none of them uses real Series 40.
