Following on from the announcement of their heavy-hitting Nokia X6 music phone, the Finnish manufacturer has given us a glimpse of what we can expect in early 2010 – namely a pair of socially savvy handsets.
The Nokia 6700 Slide is for those who like to be noticed, arriving in six bright and bold colourways. Fronted by a relatively staid aluminium model, alluring pastel blue, green, red and purple and pink variants available.
The 6700 Slide isn’t just a style statement however, it is one of the new breed of Nokia phones packed to the rafters with impressive features.
Equipped with 2GB of memory and a microSD card slot supporting up to 16GB means plenty of space for music, which is just as well because the battery is good for as much as 29 hours of uninterrupted playback! The 6700 does have a 2.5mm audio jack, though, so an adaptor is needed for those favourite headphones…
A 2.2-inch QVGA display and 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera with dual-LED flash help you to view and capture every moment, as well as briskly upload it to your favourite social networking site, thanks to image editing software as well as swift 3G connectivity.
Nokia Messaging on board ensures mail and texting is covered, whilst the diminutive frame, price (a snip at €160/£145) and arresting paintwork are sure to make the Nokia 6700 Slide a favourite amongst fashionistas in the first quarter of next year.
The Nokia 7230 was also unveiled today, a more affordable device but a pocket dynamo for Facebook addicts!
The 7230 is a Symbian S40 phone, a rung below some of the bells and whistles that the 6700 Slide can boast, but making this cute 3G-packing slider no less appealing a prospect.
Weighing only 100 grams, the combination of a curved two-tone frame (available in graphite or hot pink), a 3.2 megapixel camera, 2GB of onboard memory and support for Flickr and Facebook out of the box all make the Nokia 7230 an ideal social mobile.
In terms of multimedia, the 7230 may surprise with a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an epic 27 hours of music playback from a battery.
Best of all, the Nokia 7230 comes packed with a suite of games including Snake III, and we all know how much Omio enjoys a bit of retro gaming…
Also due for a 2010 release, the sleek 7230 is pegged for a bargain price point of €100 (£90) a great price for some decidedly mid-range specs, and a decent form factor to boot.
