Nokia further strengthened its presence in the CDMA market today, announcing two new phones tailored specifically for North American audiences. Welcome the Nokia 3606 and Nokia 1606 -- devices that combine sleek exterior design with feature friendliness. With the addition of these two devices, Nokia now has CDMA handsets supporting upcoming AWS (1700/2100 MHz) networks.
Designed for seekers of both style and simplicity, these CDMA phones offer modern mobile functionality in an easy-to-use package.
In use, the Nokia 3606 comes to life -- quite literally -- with its "hidden til lit" display effect. Optimized for music lovers, the phone's dedicated music keys provide instant access to up to 4,000* songs (using an optional 8GB microSD card), without having to even flip it open. In addition to stereo Bluetooth compatibility, the Nokia 3606 has a 1.3 megapixel camera with a LED flash.The Nokia 1606 is the ideal companion for simplicity enthusiasts looking for a stylish device. Its fold-design, easy-access buttons and bright display bring an ease to communications, along with the added enjoyment of handsfree conversations, thanks to its built-in speakerphone.
The Nokia 1606 doubles as a flashlight too -- which will work even if the device is powered off.
The Nokia 3606 and Nokia 1606 are expected to be available in third quarter of 2008.
