Two Sleek and Gorgeous Nokia Phones for the Ladies

Here's some interesting mobile phone scoop. According to UnwiredView, Nokia may be preparing to release two new mobile phones that target women customers. These are S40 devices and the info on these device followed the official release of the Nokia 7310 Supernova, another cell phone for women.


The Story:

OK, here's how the handset spies form UnwiredView acquired the info on these new Nokia mobile phones. Apparently, the webmaster from Nokia's Polish site inadvertently released the information on this two mobile phones for women. The image above was taken from the site.

Perhaps it was a honest mistake from the Polish Nokia webmasters part. Maybe it was a planned info leak to gain more attention for the handsets (these aren't Nseries devices) and make the mobile phone atmosphere more exciting. The Polish Nokia site has already taken down the page devoted to this mobile phones.

These cell phones for women were names Nokia 7510 and 7610 Supernova. However, experts say that the second phone named 7610 may be another mistake because Nokia already has a discontinued device bearing that name. The mobile phone maker has been known to revamp the old models and release them as new. However, since this mobile phone is completely new phone, in a new form factor, it's highly unlikely that it will bear a the same serial number that was bestowed to another device.

Reviewers who have examined the device have noticed some disadvantages. For example, the Nokia XpressMusic 5310 has a slow and mediocre camera with no flash or auto focus. The device is limited to tri-band and lacks 3G. The phone also has uneven backlighting and the memory card slot has been placed under the battery cover.

Samsung F400: a Premium Dual-slider Music Phone

Here's a scoop that music phone lovers will like. Samsung just unveiled a premium dual-slider music phone for consumers who love to listen to their favorite artists on their handsets. Music lovers, say hello to the Samsung F400 dual-slider music phone!

The Samsung F400 sports a 3 megapixel camera with AF and LED Flash, Bang & Olufsen ICEpower tech, Digital Natural Sound engine (DNSe™) 2.0. It packs all of these and a lot of other features in a 16.9 mm thin casing.

Here are the top features found on this premium music-centric mobile phone:

• 3.5 mm headphone jack
• USB 2.0
• HSDPA network support
• FM Radio with RDS
• Bluetooth 2.0
• 1 GB microSD card in-box with support for up to 8GB cards

Music playing handsets are usually more expensive than your average cell phones. However, the price becomes lees of an issue if the music mobile phone also offers a set of features that would justify the price. Well, Samsung's new F400 music phone offers great features that would put a lot of other music phones to shame.

However, some experts note that the Samsung lacks a bit of originality because it borrows a few concepts from its competitors. For example, the dual-sliding design of the Samsung F400 was already used by Nokia with the Nokia N95. Samsung's new premium music phone becomes a metallic keypad equipped handset when users slide it up. The music functions become visible and combine with the music hotkey in the middle of the phone, when users slide it down.

The Samsung F400 is schedule to be released in mobile phone stores in France. Then it will be available in other cell phone markets around the globe by the end of the year. There is no clear information on the price. Some experts say that it will be a popular phone if it’s not too expensive. Tune in for more news on new mobile phones and mobile product reviews.
