One year after announcing the Nokia 6303 classic, the Finnish phone maker has now unveiled the Nokia 6303i classic – a new handset that resembles the old model but has slightly different features, and more color versions.Specs-wise, the only noticeable difference between the 6303i and the 6303 is that the new phone comes with 55MB of internal memory and a 2GB MicroSD card in the box (while the 6303 has only 17MB of internal memory and a 1GB card).
Other than that, the Nokia 6303i features tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity (900 / 1800 / 1900), a 2.2 inch QVGA display with 16 million colors, 3.5mm headset jack, stereo Bluetooth, stereo FM radio with RDS, Web browser, and a 3.2MP autofocus camera with LED flash.
AT&T Motorola Backflip Coming March 7th For $324
An anonymous tipster is claiming the Motorola Backflip will be launched on AT&T for $324 on March 7th. We can’t verify the validity of these rumors but they don’t sound far fetched: we assumed the Backflip would hit AT&T, March 7th is reasonable and $324 falls in line with pre-subsidized pricing that we would expect. Maybe even a tad cheaper.
The Motorola Backflip sports a pretty crazy form factor which we demoed on video at CES. It’s an interesting entry as AT&T’s first ever Android Phone – rather than playing it safe it seems they’re aiming their targets directly towards a youthful market of trend setters. It will be interesting to see how well the Backflip performs against the iPhone series.
I can see why AT&T would release a phone unique to their lineup first, but I may have launched with a more traditional form factor in testing the Android waters. Or maybe launch with 2 devices this far into the game – the Hero and the Backflip.
I should really stop complaining; it’s just nice to see AT&T with their first Android Phone on the way!
Lenovo LePhone
Although the awkwardly aligned keyboard layout seems more like an OCD-inspired distraction more than anything else, the Lenovo Lephone looks absolutely amazing otherwise.
Rumor has it the Lephone won’t be escaping the grasp of China any time soon… if at all. So if feasting your eyes is causing an appetite to generate, be warned that you may be left starving.
And by the way… yes, that keyboard is detachable.
Samsung-built, Google-branded Android phones
According to man-about-town, Robert X. Cringely, Samsung is readying not one, but two separate Android-based phones, one of which is due in September, with another model following around Christmas. If you believe what you read (and what his tipster says), these phones will not be labeled Samsung, rather they will be released as Google-branded gPhones. The model released in the Fall will be a "higher-end" model which apparently looks "somewhat like a Blackberry Pearl" but with a screen that flips and "a keyboard for texting" (though to be honest, that description makes little sense, as the Pearl has a keyboard). The second device will be a cheaper model (under $100), and will likely be released after the holidays. Of course, right now this is just speculation -- given the large gap of time between now and September, these plans could be completely rearranged or nixed altogether... even if they are accurate.
