Press Release (official) :

New Arrivals in the World’s Most Successful Mobile Phone Range

ESPOO, Finland, January 29– Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today announced the Nokia 6700 classic, the Nokia 6303 classic and the Nokia 2700 classic, three devices that build on the formula that made Nokia the world leader in mobile phones. The new trio combines the functionality and user experience required in today’s hectic times, with premium designs and materials that make them the most beautiful, well built and competitively priced offerings available.

Leading the new collection is the Nokia 6700 classic, which continues the legacy of one of the company’s most successful products, the Nokia 6300. “The Nokia 6300 raised the bar in terms of design and premium materials when it arrived in 2006 and topped all sales records for a mid-range mobile phone. The Nokia 6700 moves that bar even higher with a beautiful, slim design and perfectly balanced practicality,” said Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President, Nokia. “Our new arrival shares the same ‘DNA’ as its predecessor and we believe that it will be one of our best selling devices in 2009,” continued Petersen.

The Nokia 6700 combines smooth surfaces, rich materials and precisely crafted parts with a full metal keymat which completes the premium finish. Improving on all areas of its forerunner, the Nokia 6700 comes with a

5 megapixel camera, assisted GPS navigation with Nokia Maps, and high speed data access meaning sharing images or video is faster and easier than ever. At an estimated retail price of EUR 235, before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia 6700 addresses the original Nokia 6300 customer need and aspiration level perfectly.

At an estimated retail price of EUR 135, before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia 6303 classic is ideal for people that see the current value proposition of the Nokia 6300. The 3.2 megapixel camera comes to life on the large 2.2 inch screen, and with pre-loaded Nokia Maps, the Nokia 6303 combines a long list of features with excellent battery performance. Added to everything else, people can plug any music accessory into the standard 3.5 mm audio jack and have a fully fledged mobile music player able to carry thousands of their favorite tracks.

Rounding off the new arrivals is the Nokia 2700 classic which, at and estimated price of EUR 65 before taxes and subsidies, is one of Nokia’s most affordable, full featured handsets. Offering up to 2GB of storage via the memory card slot, the phone also has an integrated digital music player and a 2.0 megapixel camera, making it equally competent for imaging and music. “These features mean people can save, access and share files in hundreds of formats via Nokia’s online service, Share on Ovi, or a number of other websites. The rich features and simple interface mean that in many cases, the Nokia 2700 classic will provide its owner’s first Internet experience,” concluded Petersen. All three devices are expected to ship in the second quarter of 2009.

He receives another (more safe, better security and tech) for 3300$ of course, from your money …
He says “screw this complicated ,expensive ,that i haven’t worked for, phone” (imaginary conversation)

Oh Obama, good clean start, but to throw away a brand new safe phone from USA citizens taxpayer money ?

Don’t get carried away McCain fans, he’s to old to figure out what a blackberry is (no, it’s not food, don’t eat that…oh..too late…)

iBluetooth

Posted in: Apple, Mobile Software, Rumors |

The lack of Bluetooth file transfer has been a major gripe with the iPhone since launch way back in 2007, and as with the lack of video recorder, third party developers have tried to fill the gap as best they can.In this case it’s a program called iBluetooth, developed by MeDevil. It’s only working with the help of an iMac and a Sony Ericsson mobile for the moment, but we hear it’ll soon be working with any Bluetooth device, and available to download through Cydia, the independent app store for jailbroken iPhones.Needed a reason to jailbreak your iPhone? iBluetooth is certainly compelling. Hit the video below for a demo and some soft pop sounds.
