At a press conference in Bangalore today, Nokia unveiled three new smartphones - 600, 700 &701 running the latest Symbian mobile operating system - Belle. The Finnish mobile phone giant is promoting Near Field Communications (NFC) on these devices with a vengeance. Nokia is marketing in India as 'Just Tap'.
To showcase the power of these Symbian Belle devices, Nokia along with Divum, a Bangalore based developer firm, showcased the power of these devices by using the 701 to manoeuvre an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) using an app developed by Divum. Please note that this app has nothing to do with NFC and it uses a Wi-Fi connection to function.
Commenting on the launch, T. S. Sridhar, Regional General Manager- South, Nokia India said, “The smartphone market in India has rapidly evolved and is at a very interesting stage. Consumers are looking beyond the basic functionality of the smartphone. They realize the importance of form and shape of a device packed with innovative technology and look for the same in all smartphones. We believe our latest range of smartphones powered by Symbian Belle, with path-breaking technology in the form of ‘Just Tap’ NFC, will push the boundaries for future devices in this segment.”
The 700 features a 1 GHz processor and the body is entirely made of recycled plastic. It also has a 3.2 inch ClearBack Amoled display with Gorilla Glass. This is Nokia’s thinnest phone yet and looks the best of the lot.
The 701 has a bigger 3.5 inch In Plane Switching (IPS) LCD display with ClearBack technology and Gorilla glass. The 701’s new graphics processor supposedly has four times the graphics memory in comparison to older Symbian handsets. It looks like a refurbished C7.
With 1 GHz processor, the 600 is touted as the loudest Nokia smartphone that has been released till date. Again the phone looks strikingly similar to Nokia’s 5230/5233.
The Nokia 600 is priced at Rs. 12,999 (MRP), the Nokia 700 at Rs. 18,099 (MRP) and the Nokia 701 at (18,999) and is available at retail outlets across the country. Keep reading our website for the reviews of these phones.
