Mobile & Wireless: Nokia Launches 3 New Internet-Ready Phones


Nokia introduces three new Internet-ready phones for emerging markets May 18. The 2730, Nokia's least-expensive 3G phone to date, will begin shipping in the third quarter with a price equivalent to approximately $108, before taxes and subsidies. The clamshell-style 2720 will also ship in the third quarter, for the equivalent of approximately $75. And a second fold phone, the colorful 7020, will ship in the fourth quarter for approximately $124. All three phones feature Nokia Life Tools, Ovi Mail for personal e-mail and strong battery life.

  • The Nokia 2730 Classic features a 2-inch QVGA display, a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity and a Stereo FM radio.
  • The 2730 Classic can connect to 3G networks. Nokia expects that in some developing markets, the 2730 may offer people their first experience with the Internet.
  • The Nokia 2720 Fold features a mirrored, seemingly minimalist exterior. With two taps of a finger, however, an external display flashes on, giving the time and other information.
  • The 2720 offers access to e-mail through Ovi Mail; Nokia Life Tools, a series of services for users in rural areas; 5 hours of talk time, and up to 18 hours of standby time.
  • Like the 2720, the Nokia 7020 pops to life with two taps of a fingertip—as well as when a call or new message arrives.
  • The 7020 uses "light, color and metal finishes to convey personal style," according to Nokia. Other features include access to Life Tools and e-mail through Ovi Mail.
  • Ovi Mail enables the user to set up a free, personal e-mail address, provided by Nokia, in just three steps. Spam and virus protection are included.
