"Classic" Isn't What it Used to Be...


Nokia is introducing what it calls a "classic" mobile phone, aimed at consumers and companies who appreciate simplicity and value for money."

"We recognize that a sizable number of people just want a mobile phone to stay in touch on their own terms," says John Barry, Nokia director. Apparently, "classic" isn't what it used to be.

The Nokia 3109 classic features email with attachments and synchronizes calendars and to-do lists with personal computers through its USB connection. The memory is expandable to 2 Gigabytes with a microSD memory card.

The Nokia 3109 classic is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2007 at an estimated retail price of EUR 140, excluding taxes and subsidies

The Nokia 3109 classic also features an integrated handsfree speaker, music player, UAB and Bluetooth connectivity plus an organizer with calendar, to-do list and notes.

"Staying in touch" now requires email, attachments, access to one's calendar, a music player and syncing with a PC, in addition to voice.
