http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=15493718At an exclusive customer retreat in Austria, Nokia previewed the handsets it plans to launch during 2001 and will announce publicly at CeBIT in Hanover in a couple of weeks time. Nokia presented and partially demonstrated four new models, the 9210, 3330, 6310 and 8310.
9210
The Communicator all-in-one platform with a much improved keyboard and a 4096 color display. The device is very slightly thicker than the 9110 and runs Symbian/ Java but no GPRS.
3330
Based on the 3310, the 3330 also has WAP with a picture viewer and it also supports animated GIF files for screen savers. Nokia will be providing some basic games on the 3310, which can be enhanced via a WAP connection to Club Nokia. The 3330 is due early in Q2 of this year.
6310
Based on the 6210, the 6310 also has GPRS (Class 6, 3+1) and Bluetooth and is due just before the end of the year.
8310
Based on the 8210 the 8310 gets WAP, GPRS (Class 6, 3+1), an FM radio and stereo headphones. The form factor is similar but slightly more curvaceous than the 8210, plus it is slightly shorter and thicker. This product should be available late in Q3 of this year.
An interesting feature of the 8310 and the 6310 is a packet data counter, which measures inbound and outbound data. This will make life a lot easier for consumers to keep tabs on their packet data usage and will help them to select the right tariff etc.
Accessories
Nokia showed a Bluetooth battery for the 6210, which includes a Bluetooth module in a Compact Flash card, which plugs in to a PC card adapter.
In summary, Nokia have shown evolutions of all of their existing models with GPRS and Bluetooth support for some handsets. Nokia has followed the Ericsson lead and gone with FM radios etc but not in the basic 3xxx platform but the higher 8xxx one. Nothing revolutionary- Mobile Lifestreams does not expect any of these devices to be must have with consumers but Nokia has been fortunate that the networks and markets have been delayed and other vendors are in attrition, so it can continue to evolve without too much fear of discontinuous competition from the Japanese vendors for example
