Nokia intros a couple CDMA flips, say hello to the 1606 and 3606
While Nokia didn't show up to CTIA with guns-a-blazin', they did offer up a couple new CDMA sets with AWS bandwidth in the Nokia 1606 (pictured on left) and the 3606. Planned for release in Q3 this year -- no pricing info available, for either -- the 1606 is low-end character packing 8MB of memory, flashlight -- with dedicated button, ooh-la-la -- 1.8-inch internal 262k color and external monochromatic display, and 3.5 hours / 10 days talk and standby time. The Nokia 3606 holds more tech joy under its hood -- but is still a lower-end device -- sporting a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, 15MB internal memory with expansion via microSD, and up to 5 hours of continuous music playback. We've not heard who the lucky carrier will be for either of these, but we expect an announcement can't be too far off.

Such simple phones! Reminds me of the Samsung aSCH-670 I had as my first phone on Verizon... After going the smartphone route I could never go back to such simplicity.

These are gorgeous phones.
While I can't say I like Nokia's direction in terms of functionality (950mah in the N96?) I can say I love their design direction.
Didn't the Vertu guy come over to Nokia recently? That would explain things a bit.
