8 New Phones: (Mid-Range Roundup)

August 21, 2008 in Handsets, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Sony Ericsson

We’ve seen bunches of new phone announcements cross the MobileRoar desk recently, but many of them were shuffled to the bottom of the priority list due to the surplus of mobile news in the past week or so. SO without further adieu, lets take a brief look at some of the new/upcoming phones that slipped through the cracks.

Sony Ericsson TM506 for T-Mobile

To launch on T-Mobile’s 3G network in early September, this stylish little bugger comes in Black with Green or Black with Chrome/Orange. Its got a 2MP camera, A-GPS and Bluetooth 2.0 among other options. This is the first SE device to landon TMO in awhile… pricing is not yet set. (Source)

LG Invision for AT&T

The LG Invision’s (only) claim to fame is being the 3rd AT&T phone to support their Mobile TV service. There isn’t much exciting about coming after sloppy seconds, sporting a 1.3 megapixel camera and coming in at $99 with a 2-year contract. Its smaller than the Samsung Access and if you’re looking for affordable simplicity… with TV… here’s your guy.  [Source]

Sony Ericsson T700

The T700 is an affordable mid-range phone with a decent amount of features and thin frame. It has 3G connectivity, 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, USB connectivity and FM radio among other things. It’s estimated at around 200 Euro. [Source]

Motorola ZN200

GPRS, Bluetooth, USB, FM Radio, 2MP camera… you know, some of the standards of a decent phone. This isn’t anything ground breaking but its likely the low end model on Moto’s new “Zine” product line.

Motorola W396

This phone is living proof that phones with incredibly few features (usually) have at least two redeeming qualities: they are compact and light. The dimensions of the W396 are 95 x 45 x 17 mm and its weight is 88-94g.

Motorola W388

I’m getting tired of reciting specs, so lets just say that its a lot like the W396 but is candybar instead of clamshell… and leave it at that… [Source]

Motorola RAZR VE20 for Sprint

If you read this morning’s article about the NFL Mobile Live Application, and read it to the end, you probably noticed that the RAZR VE20 was mentioned as a suggested phone for the application. Just giving you the heads up… read that article for the specs and all [Source]

Nokia Navigator 6210

It is only available in India (at least for now) so don’t get your hopes up or anything. The Nokia Navigator is a dedicated nav device that will help both vehicular travellers and pedestrians find their way. Its built on Symbian S60 so their is some flexibility for 3rd party apps - big plus. Its about $430 unlocked. Head to GSM Arena for a full review. [Source]
