Nokia unveils four new handsets: the 2626, 6086, 6290, and 6300

Since Motorola and RIM already dished out news about their forthcoming mobiles, you knew Nokia would be joining the release party soon. Sure enough, the company has unveiled four new phones today at its annual Capital Market Days in Amsterdam, with one being aimed at the entry-level market and the remaining trio headed to mid-range consumers. The low-end 2626 rocks a few different color motifs, pack an FM tuner, color LCD, and all the bare essentials to keep you connected for €75 ($99). The 6086 houses quad-band GSM connectivity, UMA, a built-in camera, and an oversized keypad while costing €200 ($264). Stepping it a notch is the 6300, which comes in at 13.1-millimeters thin, touts a stainless steel frame (not to mention the "organic curves"), and demands €250 ($329). Last up is the 6290 (€325; $428) smartphone, which "combines the power of the S60 and 3G" in a new, sexy package, and boasts an interactive world travel application as well as "Quick Cover" access keys. While initial spec information is all but nil, we're sure to get plenty of juicy details while we wait for the foursome to launch in "Q1 2007."

I can't BELIEVE they launched THESE. Why does Nokia see it necessary to produce phones that have nothing worth mentioning. How boring can a phone be? Ask Nokia.

The Nokia 6300 I guess is aimed at the RAZR market, Nokia seem to be slow in going after this "Thin" phone market but finally seem to be aware of it.

Wasn't there already Nokia 6300 long time ago (in a galaxy far away)? The goldish business bluetooth phone? So, Nokia starts reusing model numbers?

It looks good..[Shiny N Wide Screen]

It has a feature called Active Standby and it's color quality which are really good.

Sound clarity and I am surprised to say is actually better than W810i!.

However, this is not a phone for serious indulgence..
1.It isn't shipped with the data cable
2.Additional memory is only 117MB!
3.It 'hangs' sometimes and u have to 'restart' it..
4.Battery is... Let me not mention it

All in all a good phone if u don't mess with it too much..

And it's a good phone for obsessive people like me.. Good to bang my head with..
