Nokia N86 specification
Sharp is reported to have announced two new GSM clamshell phones for the Chinese market, namely the slim SH6010C and the SH1810C, which features an 8-megapixel camera. The announcement may come as a surprise for some, considering the fact that the company hasn’t released a new GSM handset for quite some time.
The high-end Sharp SH1810C comes with an 8 MP CCD sensor, which is supposed to deliver lower noise levels, although it would need more power than a CMOS one, and a 3-inch TFT screen that is said to provide a WVGA resolution of 854×480 pixels. These two features are certainly meant to attract customers on the side of this impressive handset, which also features a flip design and a 6-axis accelerometer.
Furthermore, there is an external one-row display on this ordinary tri-band GSM with GPRS/EDGE support phone. The device allows users to make video recording at 30 fps, yet it does not feature 3G capabilities, which might not be too big of a problem, considering that China does not have a 3G network just yet.
The second device is the mid-range Sharp SH6010C, which comes in a stainless steel body and also features a camera, yet only a 3.2-megapixel one that goes hand in hand with its 2.6-inch TFT display capable of delivering a 400×240 pixel resolution and 262 000 colors. This slim phone is only 12.9mm thick.
A rather attractive feature of the SH6010C is a small external monochrome display that has been embedded on its back near the camera. According to the report, the phone will be available on the market in five colors, namely silver, gold, black, pink and blue.
No information on the availability or price tag of the two Sharp handsets has been unveiled so far.
Nokia has just announced a new cell phone called the Nokia 6700 Cell Phone. This phone, combines smooth surfaces, rich materials and precisely crafted parts with a full metal keymat which completes the premium finish. Improving on all areas of its forerunner, the Nokia 6700 comes with a 5 megapixel camera, assisted GPS navigation with Nokia Maps, and high speed data access meaning sharing images or video is faster and easier than ever. At an estimated retail price of EUR 235, before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia 6700 addresses the original Nokia 6300 customer need and aspiration level perfectly.
The Nokia 6700 classic, continues the legacy of one of the company’s most successful products, the Nokia 6300. “The Nokia 6300 raised the bar in terms of design and premium materials when it arrived in 2006 and topped all sales records for a mid-range mobile phone. The Nokia 6700 moves that bar even higher with a beautiful, slim design and perfectly balanced practicality,” said Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President, Nokia. “Our new arrival shares the same ‘DNA’ as its predecessor and we believe that it will be one of our best selling devices in 2009,” continued Petersen.

Features
with 8x digital zoom
In an event held today in Nanjing Nokia unveiled the Nokia 6208c, a new pen input device which caters for a number of different customers, specifically those in China. The touch screen on the 6208c is optimized to write Chinese characters and messages in the most natural way, with a pen. The design of the stylus, attached to the back of the phone, is inspired by bamboo slips and works perfectly with the large color display which is reminiscent of an ink stone, another element from traditional Chinese art and culture. All these design cues are implemented using premium materials such as the stainless steel back cover, which makes the handset both easy to use and comfortable to hold.
Added to the Chinese language support, the device features a number of different languages and characters.
With a 3.2 megapixel camera, dual LED flash and 4x digital zoom, the Nokia 6208c makes capturing memories and sharing moments simple and easy. The large input area features larger fonts for messaging and browsing as well as viewing pictures and web pages. The new handset also supports optional microSD cards up to 8GB, providing ample memory for images, videos, music and more.
The Nokia 6208c is expected to start shipping in select markets in the first half of 2009.
Initial specs are looking to be this:
TOUCH SCREEN - So you iphone toting kids can try this
Fresh from the lab tables:
* 109 × 80 × 13.7mm measurements
* 2.8 inches QVGA resolution 260,000 color TFT touch-screen handwriting
* Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
* Memory Card Expansion up to 32GB
So you’ve probably figured out that this is gonna be some sort of a smart phone. So yes it will be equipped with a 528Mhz Qualcomm MSM7201A processor with 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM.
So far it’s may have multiple versions for multiple carriers and audiences. I think the overseas edition of this phone will have some form of WiFi (802.11g?) and 3G/HSDPA (2100Mhz UMTS). But we know for sure it should have GSM/GPRS/EDGE network support.
As far as a multimedia camera it should be 3.2 megapixel with auto-focus (Finally a moto with some decent focusing) and probably an LED for flash. But the camera is currently unknown as mainstream mobiles are getting 5 megapixel cameras. As time progresses the camera may be higher than the initial development notes. Also it may be equipped with GPS or A-GPS functions. Bluetooth is a given but A2DP and all that cool junk may be later.
Until next time boys and girls!
