If global capitalism wasn’t so fundamentally evil, you might be able to convince yourself that what Nokia are doing with the 2720 Fold (as they’re doing with the 2730 Classic (see below) is democratising information; that is, they’re opening up levels of communication to communities and people around the world that previously could not afford it. Priced at just 55 Euros (before any local, country-specific taxes and so on), this is an obscenely cheap little thing. But when you realise that not only does it do the basics of calling and sending messages, but also allows email access (and through Ovi Mail, allows email accounts to be set up and managed completely independently of a computer), has a camera, Bluetooth and a radio, you realise that the 2720 Fold is going to make people in places such as rural India and China very happy (and very connected). Not to mention that it’s dual-screen, clam shell, glossy finish looks are actually pretty slick.

Then of course your mind swings back and starts yelling that all they’re doing is trying to open up new markets, find new people to exploit and make profit from and convince that a new phone (or even first-ever phone) is the only thing that’s going to complete and fulfil they’re life. But then, as we said, that’s capitalism, baby. We’re on the bus, there’s no getting off the bus, so why not buy a cheap Nokia 2720 Fold while we’re on it.

Nokia officially announced another entry level phone in the 2nd week of March. This phone, known as Nokia 5030 XpressRadio is said to be the first Nokia phone to carry an inbuilt radio. This phone carries an inbuilt radio antenna which supports the FM channels on your phone and empowers the phone to act as a normal radio instead of having to connect the headphone antenna to listen to the radio.

When all the other mobile phone manufacturers are concentrating more and more on upgrading the music player, Nokia took a step forward in the radio development. This is with the intention of catering to the particular segment of customers who do not have access to a computer to upload songs to a music player. This set of customers totally depends on the FM radio player for their music needs. With Nokia 5030 XpressRadio you don’t need the wired headset to listen to the radio. The phone’s high quality loudspeaker complements the radio function as you can listen to quality music without the headset. Further it also comes with a dedicated radio keys.
Nokia 5030 XpressRadio carries a 1020mAh battery and this gives you talking time of 10hrs and 21 days of standby time which is quite impressive. The radio player can give you 1 whole day worth of listening. It is quite lightweight at only 82g and is expected to hit many of the emerging markets by the 2nd quarter of 2009. It will quote approximately 40EUR or US$51 before taxes. See the official page for more details.
If at the moment you’re having cash difficulties, you don’t need to worry. Nokia 5030 XpressRadio helps you pay in installments and buy the phone. Further the most competitive Nokia 5030 XpressRadio deals offered by the leading mobile services providers bring you the best tariffs.

The 6121 Classic is a Symbian OS smartphone (not to be confused with Nokia 6120, an obsolete mobile phone by Nokia).

It is the first Nokia UMTS / HSDPA dual band mobile which also features quad band GSM.

And… well… that’s about your lot. Check out the 6121 Classic’s specs here is you don’t believe us:

• Surf the web and download music and videos quickly over the high speed 3G or HSDPA* connection (3.6 mbps)
• Built on S60 3rd edition
• Email with attachments
• QVGA front camera for video calls
• 2 megapixel camera with flash and panorama imaging
• Video recorder
• Share more of your life by making video calls
• Store music, videos, and pictures
• USB 2.0
• Bluetooth 2.0
• MicroSD memory card support
• Get organized with the practical calendar and convenient PC synchronization
• Relax and unwind as you listen to your favorite tunes on the music player
• Sophisticated, classic design with chromed highlights
• 105 x 46 x 15 mm
• 89 g
• 240 x 320 pixels, 2.0 inches – TFT, 16M colors

So the HDSPA is 3.6mbs, not 7.2. The camera is only 2MP. And nothing else there is anything but average, to tell the truth. But then this a big new launch, it’s only a dinky (and light) candybay phone, and, well, you’ll know if you want it. The 6121 Classic is for those who want a little bit of everything done quite well, rather than a lot of things done exceptionally well. Read a Nokia 6121 classic review here.

Despite normally spending obscene amounts of money on research prior to a phone being released, aiming to second guess exactly who will be interested in a new handset (and who, therefore, will be targeted in the marketing), sometimes even the biggest and best companies get it wrong. And we think Nokia might have done just that with the really pretty nifty Nokia 2730 Classic. Because in all the various press releases, promotions and other waffle that’s come our way along with the phone, Nokia insist everywhere that this is a phone for ‘emerging markets.’ Which, to say and me, means places like China and India. Now, we can understand targeting places that have not just millions but billions of potential customers, but we think they might be missing a trick and even underestimating their product.

Because while the 2730 Classic will certainly be welcomed with open arms in these burgeoning markets because of its affordability combined internet connectivity, we reckon the very same things will make it a hit just about everywhere in the world. We know more than a handful of people who are sick of phones that cram feature after feature in but don’t actually work that well. And we reckon this is just about the opposite of that. It’s got more than enough basic to intermediate features, from being 3G ready to having a 3.5mm audio socket, from having Nokia maps pre-installed to being bundled with a 1GB memory card. And, being made by Nokia, you know it’s going to be super reliable.

And most importantly of all, don’t forget that you heard it here first: wherever you are in the world, the Nokia 2730 Classic is going to be a big hit. We even going to stick our necks out and say this will be one of Nokia’s best ever selling phones. Check out a Nokia 2730 classic review here for more specs, less speculation.

After weeks of basically toying with internet gossip mongers, Nokia have finally released details of the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic, the strangely numbered new version of the 5800. The lower number might be in some way related to the reduction in dimensions, weight, and even features in the all new, slimmed down version. Like so many Nokia phone’s, the 5800 was something of a slow burner. With the looks of the long rumoured original a league below that of their obvious competitor the iPhone, many wrote off the 5800 when it was released, but the feedback from those who’ve taken the plunge has been almost uniformly high, and it’s no surprise the sequel is now confirmed.

The 5530 XpressMusic is going to launch at a far lower price than the 5800 (and indeed far far lower than many of its competitors) and there’s a few simple reasons why Nokia have been able to achieve this. Like a model of a post-credit-crunch business, in fact, the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic has slashed and booted out everything previously employed that has now been deemed inessential. Gone is the 3G capabilities (the WiFi being deemed enough connectivity), gone is some of the screen size (though the remaining 2.9” screen is being forced to work even harder, resulting in a much crisper image) and gone is the GPS (with the hope being users want to navigate little more than social networking sites). And you know what, we think they’re all good choices, and it really shows. The 5530 still plays music better than an iPhone (better even than an iPod), still has widescreen video viewing, still has a great, intuitive operating system. Check out a full rundown of the stats in this Nokia 5530 review.

So it’s already got our vote. This is the point we’d normally point to a video to back us up, but seeing as how Nokia seemed to have slashed their marketing budget as well and got an intern to make this demo video, you might need to believe us despite it, rather than because of it…

We’d never be ones to bash Apple as a company. They’ve brought more innovations, style and all round pleasure to the mobile phone market that they should be revered for the tech-gods they are. But we do find it interesting to be able to compare two “upgrades” in the space of a week. The first, below, Apple iPhone 3G S, we found just about able to be claimed as “new”, and again, just about worthy of your money over the previous iteration of the phone. The Nokia E72 is something entirely different. Nokia haven’t just tweaked and slightly streamlined this handset, they’ve overhauled it. Just take a look at this list if you don’t believe us:

• New optical navigation key for intuitive scrolling and fast panning
• Desktop like email experience (successful feature imported from the E75)
• Compass and A-GPS (including integrated Maps)
• Active noise cancellation helping improve general call quality
• Camera upgraded to 5 megapixels
• Symbian S60 system running faster thanks to performance tweaks
• 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio included
• New IM features – connect to your current IM accounts (Yahoo, Google, Ovi, etc.)
• Lifetime license for Nokia’s mobile email and IM services
• Onboard Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler (allowing you to access all your email accounts)
• Spacebar key-activated torch function
• New version of Quickoffice – Microsoft Office 2007 compatibility
• 128 grams, 10mm thick
• 480 standby hours. 12 hrs 2G talk time, 6 hours for 3G
• Access to the brand-new Ovi Store for apps and other media / entertainment

All hail the new Nokia E72 then. There sure as hell wasn’t a list like that when it came to the iPhone 3G S. Nokia have taken the bar, climbed a really tall building, built some scaffolding even higher, then got on a ladder, then put the bar on top of that ladder. Take note, Apple and everyone else. This is how you improve something. And the fact that the E71 was already Nokia’s best ever selling QWERTY-keyboard phone goes some way to showing how much we should all be appreciating the effort they’ve made with this Nokia E72.

The Nokia E75 was showcased at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Needless to say, it was held in awe by the people who got the opportunity to see it and handle it.
The E75 is the company’s first phone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and its first enterprise device with a full keyboard that is not part of the “Communicator” series. Perhaps the best feature of this phone is the fact that it really functions as two phones in one. The E75 is capable of switching between two different screens. This means you can use one screen for work hours, where you can keep all your shortcuts for business applications. And, you can use the other screen for leisure times, where you can keep shortcuts for personal functions. This duality allows a person to have the facility of two separate phones in a single phone.
Supported by the S60 platform, which is enhanced for business applications, the See more info here is capable of fully syncing contacts, email, home screen, and calendar on your mobile phone. It is also pre-installed with the Nokia Messaging service, Mail for Exchange, IBM Lotus Notes traveller, POP/IMAP support, and support for a variety of 3rd party email providers. Additionally, the phone has HSDPA, WLAN, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity; and a 3.5mm audiovisual jack, which can be used to output presentations, video, audio, as well as to work as a stereo headset. This makes it such a handy phone for people who want to conduct business on the move.
But, apart from that, the Nokia has a music player, media player, FM radio, a 3.2 megapixel camera, making it a great phone for personal use. It comes in silver black, red, and copper yellow shades which help make the phone look extremely stylish and sleek.
