Nokia have always built solid, durable phones with decent battery lives. In fact, we know people who are still using Nokia’s with LCD screens from about seven years ago that are still going strong. Not so with so many other manufacturers of course, especially in these days of new 18-24 month contracts. Because a disturbing trend happened in the days of 12 month contracts in which phones started to get built just for the length of that contract and no more. So that if you waited, say, 14 months, you’d suddenly find that your battery was barely lasting a day, your screen looked like it wanted to go into retirement and the whole casing started to feel just a little bit like it was going to fall apart in your hands. And don’t get us started on how mayfly-like iPods are…

Which is why it just plain makes sense that it’s Nokia who are bringing one of the world’s most rugged phones to the market. The Nokia 3720 Classic is, in fact, just about the strongest mass market phone we’ve ever seen. And as much as we’d like to explain it to you, there really is no better demonstration than the video below. Obviously the Nokia bods employed here are being just a little bit tender with it (because come on, who hits that softly with a golf club?!) but even with that slight reserve you can see how the Nokia 3720 is one strong little puppy.

So, if you work on a construction site or other dusty / dangerous environment, or if you just happen to find yourself always wanting to make calls in the middle of your morning swim, then this little thing could be just what you’ve been looking for. You can click here for the official page, or just have a look at this Nokia 3720 review for a full rundown on all the specs and stats.

Hitting the shelves any day now is the Vodafone-exclusive 6730 Classic. There’s little to write home about here, but then that’s part of this things appeal – there’s so little here that this poor little chicken weighs a paltry (get it? get it?) 83 grams – just about the lightest 3G phone you can get your beaks into anywhere in the world.

So what do you get for your 83 grams with the 6730 Classic then? Well, not a lot, but not a little either. The camera’s a more than useless 3.2 megapizel with autofocus job. It comes with a not-too-shoddy 1GB of internal memory, that can as always be beefed up with microSD cards, meaning the competent music player can be taken full advantage of. There’s a lifetime membership to something called Ovi maps that gives you a nifty turn-by-turn global pedestrian navigation system to go with the A-GPS-driven maps functionality. There’s the usual raft of Symbian S60 apps onboard, and you can also download a huge number of other add-ons to your heart’s content. And, being Nokia, there’s the fuzzy warm feeling you’ll get from knowing that all the packaging is recycled and that there’s more power-saving and planet-cuddling features included than you can shake an organic, free-range stick at.

So the 6730 Classic’s not going to set the world alight with it’s high-end functionality (that would, after all, release carbon dixoide into the atmosphere…) but it is going to make people who want decent enough functionality in the smallest possible package feel quite satisfied indeed.

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.

The Nokia 8208 should be released sometime soon and I can hardly wait to lay my hands on it. From everything that I have heard about this phone, it sounds like the phone that I have been waiting for a very long time. I have envisaged a phone with features that suit me the most and it seems like the Nokia 8208 is made from the specifications in my head.
What I wanted was a phone that could play music for many, many hours. Most phones give you good playback time, but none of them can be used for the better part of a day at a time. I tend to travel a lot and am away from my hotel room or camp for most day when I am exploring surrounding areas. But, none of the phones I have come across so far could play music the whole time I was out exploring. Its juices would run out within a few hours and I was left with no music at all.
The 8208 promises over 20 hours of music playback time! This means that whenever I go out travelling, I can be assured of music every waking hour! And, what makes it better is that along with the 150 MB internal memory, the back up memory of Press images can be expanded up to 8 GB. This means that I can carry a large collection of my music along with me and will never run out of fresh tunes to listen to.
Additionally, the Nokia mobiles also has a high standby time- 11 days! This too is a feature perfect for travelers like me, who do not expect too many calls during their travels, but like to use some of the other features that the phone has to offer while travelling.

Nokia recently announced the 6720 Classic and it looks like it must be worth the hype. It has been designed for clarity in camera, screen, and voice functions. The phone is curved to fit perfectly to your face and is equipped with active noise cancellation. A feature that appears for the first time.

The Nokia mobiles has a great battery life of up to 20 days stand by time, during which you can access high speed internet, and the phone’s TV-out connection, enabling you to share photos and video.

A sleek grey/black, the Nokia 6720 Classic looks as great as it feels, and functions even better. It is a traditional candybar phone that fits perfectly into your hand – a refreshing change from the new slider, and flip phones that are flooding the market these days. The keys are in classic Nokia layout, making navigation, as always, familiar and convenient.

The Nokia 6720 Classic has recently integrated Maps and Ovi which enable you to plan trips at home on your personal computer and then load the directions on to the phone for use while driving. The Maps software has been updated to include high-resolution aerial images and 3D landmarks for cities all over the world. The navigation system has been tweaked for ease of use for pedestrians, a quick tip of the hat to Nokia for recognizing the widest used mode of transport – the feet. The Maps software also has a range of other new features, like traffic and safety warnings. travel content, and a weather service.

The Find out more here also has dedicated camera keys that make it easy to capture and share photographs and video with friends and family. Looks like a great phone, hopefully it will be priced affordably so that as many people as possible can enjoy it.

The new 6710 Navigator has all the capabilities of a dedicated GPS handset, with the convergence of mobile technology. With a state of the art 5.0 Mega pixel camera, streamlined design, specially tailored accessories, and dependable battery, the phone is a must-have for those who like to know exactly where they stand. Or drive, for that matter.

Most important to this review is the navigation system that gives the 6710 Navigator its name. Nokia has gone all out to improve their maps software, giving it great graphics, clarity and usability. They have special drive and walk navigation options, a compass and geo-tagging options. Below the display there is a dedicated zoom bar for easy map viewing, and the display adjusts to outdoor conditions as most navigation is done on the go.

The Nokia 6710 Navigator allows for a synchronization between maps and Ovi, which allows the use to pre plan trips at home on the computer and then transfer details and directions onto the phone. Great option for global travellers and backyard explorers alike. The Maps software has been updated to show you high resolution aerial images, and has other similar options to make navigation complete. To make life even simpler, the box comes with a special car holder for the phone so that you can prop the phone up on the dashboard for directions while driving. Speaking of dashboards, the interface has a great widget-like interface for easy access to applications.

The Nokia’s official page has a state of the art camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash. The geo-tagging feature enables you to take a picture and then mark the exact co-ordinates of the location. So if you sometimes forget where you’ve been, the phone definitely wont. The Nokia is great for creating your own maps and memories.

16 gigs of music. What more can I say? The 5630 XpressMusic has made my mp3 player useless. I can store unlimited music on my phone’s SD card. With the 3.5 mm stereo headphone plug, I can listen to the music with my hi fi headphones. This is important because even if the phone has great sound, if your head phones are no good, the experience is just disappointing. The inbuilt speakers on the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic too are way better than I’ve seen on any phone.

The ’say and play’ option is really cool too. A voice activated music player – no mp3 player can match that. I also really like that the phone has dedicated music keys. I really don’t like having to go through countless menus to find my music and then adjust the volume or bass. It’s all there on the keypad with the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic.

The phone isn’t too bulky – only 12 mm thin, so it is perfect to carry in my back pocket. Great for commutes and the gym too. The official page is also connected online to a Nokia music store so I can buy singles or albums through my phone – it’s instantaneous – sometimes I feel like listening to a particular song and I don’t have it. I could be on a bus or the sky train or in a cab – and suddenly I’ll have the urge to listen to an old Michael Jackson song. I just connect myself to the store and within minutes, I’ll be moon-walking (or trying to) down the street to ‘Billie Jean.’ A really great buy for music lovers – the quality of sound is unmatched by any other phone in the same price range, and some more expensive. I would recommend this phone to you twice around. I can’t wait to get my hands on the Nokia
when it finally comes out.
