Even as the Mobile World Congress looms on the horizon, Nokia has announced three new phones: the 6700 classic, the 6303 and the 2700. The three phones are targeted at different price segments and are expected to ship in the second quarter of 2009.  The details:

Nokia 6700

The phone appears to be on the same lines as the Nokia 6300 barring the keypad which now seems to have rather flatenned bringing the keys on a flat panel like in Nokia’s N79. Although the  ‘DNA’ of the device remains similar to the Nokia 6300, it will also feature a 5 megapixel camera, assisted GPS navigation with Nokia maps and high speed data access.  The phone has been priced at around EUR 235. (Rs 14,500 approximately)

Nokia 6303 Classic

The phone comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera on a 2.2 inch screen, and Nokia claims  will have excellent battery performance. The standard 3.5mm audio jack on the phone will allow the user  to plug in any music accessory to the phone. The price: around EUR 135. (Rs 8000 approximately)

Nokia 2700 classic

Aimed at the lower price segment, the Nokia 2700 classic supports storage upto 2GB  and comes with a 2.0 megapixel camera and a digital media player.  The phone will also allow sharing of data on Ovi, Nokia’s online service. It will  be priced at EUR 65. (Rs 4000 approximately)
