Nokia intros CDMA trifecta for China
Filed under: Handsets, Nokia, EV-DO, CDMA
Nokia’s newfound commitment to CDMA isn’t just a US effort — it’s a big deal in China, too, where a beefy percentage of the world’s CDMA users reside. On that note, the company has introduced the Asian market to three new models today spanning the low end to the midrange, but if you’re outside China, we wouldn’t get our hopes up for a launch in your neck of the woods. Starting at the bottom we’ve got the 1506, an ultra-basic candybar with an integrated voice recorder and speakerphone; it’s being billed as Nokia’s cheapest CDMA device yet. Next is the 3806, which steps up to a QVGA display, Bluetooth 2.1 support, and support for external storage up to 4GB — but maybe the most notable feature here is the inclusion of a “Health Assistant” app that allows “you to stay healthy, which ultimately, allows you to stay happy.” We’re all for phones that keep us happy around here. Finally, the 6316s slider is the beast of the bunch with GPS and EV-DO for China Telecom’s 3G network plus a 2 megapixel camera, but you’ll be waiting a while — it and the 3806 won’t be hitting until the first quarter of next year, while the 1506 comes into play by the end of ‘09.
