Nokia 3500 classic

Nokia's new low-cost 3500 Classic, launched today, offers modern day looks in a familiar, easy to use candy bar shape. The 3500 Classic will be available in a number of color schemes, each with color coordinated keypads and a metal frame that runs around the edge of the phone.

The Nokia 3500 classic is just that a "Classic". The quad band GSM 3500 remains true to Nokia traditions of making lightweight simple to use bar style phones that appeal to the mass market. Key features include a 2.0 megapixel camera with 8x zoom, audio and video playback, stereo Bluetooth, and an expandable memory card slot (up to 2GB).

The battery in the 13mm thick 3500 Classic's 81g (2.9oz) body should provide for up to 3 hours of talk time or 12.5 days of standby time on GSM networks. Two tri-band GSM/EDGE versions of the device will be available: 900/1800/1900MHz and 850/1800/1900MHz.
