Nokia 3110 Classic offers up some mid-range amenities
The basic candy bar sneaks its way up to the mid-range by featuring a 1.3-megapixel camera and a music player with FM radio.
The Nokia 3110 Classic doesn't look like anything special; in fact, it sports an ordinary black shell over its basic candy bar form factor. Given that it's a Nokia handset, we're guessing that it's not the thinnest phone in the world either (plus Samsung already snatched that title with its Ultra Edition U100).
The 3110 Classic does offer a bevy of entertainment features, which brings this handset out of entry-level and into the mid-range. The candy bar includes a 1.3-megapixel camera, a music player with FM radio and microSD memory expansion. The 3110 also serves up USB and Bluetooth transfers for songs and photos. The handset is expected to release in Europe toward the middle of the year, and retail for �150 without subsidies.
Nokia 3110 Classic
With the Nokia 3110 Classic, consumers can listen to their favorite music at any time thanks to flight mode. A convenient USB port and Bluetooth support also makes it quick and easy to transfer songs, images or calendar events directly from a PC to the phone. A range of enhancements also gives users the choice of customizing the 3110. With its bright 2.2-inch color display, consumers can easily view and control call functions while the separate input device provides controls over volume adjustment and accepting or ending calls.
Nokia revs up CK-15W Bluetooth display car kit
The 2.2-inch screen sits on your dashboard and lets you take and reject calls or view caller ID info while you're driving.
Unveiled last week at 3GSM, the CK-15W car kit sits on your dashboard and, once paired with your phone, flashes caller ID info on its 2.2-inch screen (kinda small, if you ask us); you can then take or reject calls on the "separate input device" (details on that are sketchy, but we're guessing it's a wired remote). You can also browse you call log or tweak the CK-15W's color theme to match your dashboard.
We're not totally convinced that squinting at the CK-15W's diminutive display will improve our driving skills, and while Nokia promises that the device is compatibile with most of Nokia's Bluetooth-enabled phones, such as the just-annoucned Nokia 3110 Classic, there's no word on whether it will work with non-Nokia handsets.
