Nokia\'s got some new stuff up it\'s sleeve.

At the Nokia Mobile Internet Conference, an annual event bringing together developers, content provides and network operators to showcase the latest developments in mobile communications and innovative mobile services, Nokia is now showing off 6 new phones - bringing the total number of phones launched this year to 30 for the manufacturer.

A common theme for all phones launched is color and MMS, and Nokia also launched three new accessories that can be used with several of the company\'s models to enhance functionality in these including the Nokia Observation camera, Nokia Camera Headset HS-1C and Nokia Music Stand.

The Nokia 6800 is the first messaging device from Nokia optimized for efficient text input - except perhaps for the Nokia 5510, which is the predecessor of the device - sporting a full QWERTY keyboard. The 6800 model comes with a color display, support for SyncML, e-mail, J2ME and MMS, and also offers an integrated stereo FM radio. A dual band 900/1800 MHz GSM/GPRS phone, the Nokia 6800 is expected to start shipping in the first quarter 2003 in Europe, Africa and Asia.

Coming up as a successor to the Nokia 7210 is the Nokia 7250, which has a design that\'s very similar to the 7210, but also integrates a digital camera. Features are otherwise similar to the 7210, including the color display, support for MMS and J2ME and an integrated stereo FM radio. Like the 7210, the 7250 is tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS, and is expected to start shipping in the first quarter 2003 globally.

The Nokia 6100 is claimed by Nokia to be the world\'s smallest and lightest GPRS, MMS-enabled phone with color display, and offers tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz and is to be shipping on a global basis before the end of 2002.

A bit down on the ladder in regard to features comes the Nokia 5100, which combines wearability and durability with tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz support, a color display, support for J2ME and MMS and a more sporty design than what\'s common from Nokia. Shipments of the 5100 are scheduled to begin globally in the first quarter 2003.

The Nokia 8910i is merely a color version of the dual-band 900/1800 MHz GSM 8910 model, beefed up with support for MMS and J2ME, but still sporting integrated Bluetooth, HSCSD and GPRS. The titanium-cased 8910i is Nokia\'s main premium phone, with shipments slated to begin in the first quarter 2003 in European, African and Asian markets.

Last, but not least is the Nokia 2100, which Nokia defines as the manufacturer\'s first mobile entry product. Designed to be an affordable alternative for voice and text messaging to cater to first time users in low mobile penetration markets in Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific, the Nokia 2100 is expected to be commercially available during the first quarter of 2003 in Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific.

Some of the phones are downright ugly while some look quite nice.

The 6800 design is quite clever and much better than the design of the horrible 5510, the 7250 looks ugly but I thought the 7210 was horrible until I got to play with one now I\'m thinking about buying one. The 6100 looks OK while the 5100 series looks incredibly ugly jebus that\'s one ugly motha. And the 8910i got a much needed color screen, the phone itself is quite nice but the OS in it is getting too old.

the 7250 looks nice

loved the metalic look.

so much wonderful technology.
the 6800 design looks sweet.

I bet they will cost a fair bit when they first come out.

I hate cell phones, but the 6800 design is quite clever.

The 6800 is the best model IMO. Looks quite nice. But also quite expenxive.

A Nokia gaming device? It\'s called the Hilton and is based on the series 60 OS.

Please se my thread in main forum. Nokia+sega =true

I work for nokia, and can confim this device. But its called N-gage, where you got "hilton" from I dunno, that is not even its internal project name. I will get this device before x-mass along with some sega developed games for it. I will get back to you with a small review !

Looks pretty cool. Should Nintendo be scared?

I wonder what S/E will do considering Sony has been talking about this for a while.

Yes yes, our beloved S/E. It would be fun to see something from them as well. Fatson, are you a /// fanboy as most other swedes ?  I have turned to the dark side and work for nokia even though I am also swedish ;-) (Linköping)

Anyhoo, S|E getting more marketshare is only be a good thing

I\'ll stick with my 3330

"Nokias spelterminal är betydligt mer avancerad än Nintendos motsvarighet....Enligt Nokia ska den klara spel i klass med de som i dag spelas på exempelvis Playstation."
