Nokia 6550 hands-on

by Paul Miller, posted Mar 4th 2008 @ 5:59PM Featured Story

T-Mobile gave us a quick look today at Nokia's latest clamshell, the 6550. The Series 60 phone is pretty sexy as far as Nokia flips go -- and quite the looker in its own right -- but it's still clear that Nokia's struggling to make any of its S60 units truly "skinny." The QVGA screen is naturally stellar, and the secondary display on the back includes a few capacitive touch buttons to control music playback. We also liked the main keypad, which is a bit of a departure for Nokia. The phone won't blow any minds, but it's certainly a solid play by Nokia for the budget set in Europe -- how about a little Stateside love, eh Nok?

Nokia intros two phones for Europe

by Chris Ziegler, posted Mar 3rd 2008 @ 11:55AM Breaking News


Nokia used CeBIT as its stage today to introduce two new models destined specifically for the European marketplace (fine, Nokia, be that way). The 6550 flip will be found exclusively on T-Mobile -- and seriously, we really wouldn't mind having it on the US T-Mobile with its clean looks, external music controls, HSDPA, 2 megapixel cam, and QVGA display. Even better, it should be basically free on contract when it launches in the third quarter. Next up, the 6124 classic candybar is made just for Vodafone customers like the 6234 before it, offering tight integration with its services atop S60. Pricing wasn't announced, but it should hit Voda shelves next quarter.
