An updated version of the highly likable Nokia 6600 slide has officially been announced to the public. At first glance, it would hardly seem a big thing, as the Nokia 6600i shares its name with the original device, however besides the new outfits, there is now a more serious upgrade in the imaging department. The Nokia 6600i has all the features of its predecessor. The 2.2-inches TFT display, 3G support, Bluetooth, microSD card slot and FM radio are all here. There is also an accelerometer for tap commands for basic managing of calls and alerts. The retail box as usual includes a 1GB memory card.
The only difference which comes with 6600i is the 5 megapixel camera sensor instead of the 3.2 MP previous one. The video recording and the flash however have stayed unchanged - VGA@15fps and a dual-LED unit.
Nokia claims the 6600i is the smallest 5MP slider in the world. Its body, like the 6600, is metallic, this time with the oh-so-trendy brushed metal look. We liked the Nokia 6600 slide, we think we dig the successor as well.
The Nokia 6600i slide is scheduled to hit market sometime in Q3 this year at a reasonable price of 200 euros

Piced at 80 euro (with 1GB memory card included in the retail package) the Nokia 2730 classic is expected to start shipping in Q3 2009. The other interesting handset is the stylish clamshell Nokia 7020. Targeted at users who don't want a tight budget to compromise their mobile phone's looks, it has a tad less features than the 2730 classic - with 3G being the most evident omission. Sporting some nice metal finishes, the Nokia 7020 comes with a 2.2" QVGA display plus a secondary more basic external unit. It pack FM radio, a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and EDGE and a mictoSD card slot. A built-in accelerometer enables some cool functionality like tap-for-time. Social networking integration is also duly covered, which might be a nice thing for teenage adopters.

Sony Ericsson recently announced the launch of its environmentally friendly handset, the GreenHeart concept phone. The device has a pretty decent life cycle and features a bio-plastic housing, recycled plastic keypad, zero charger (3.5mW standby power) and HTML based e-manuals (no more cut down trees for paper).
Plus, the GreenHeart comes with “Ecomate”, an educational app that’s pretty much a fun game. Even the package of the phone is environmentally friendly so owning, using and recycling the handset will solve some of Mother Nature’s issues.
While LG are getting ready to announce the Prada II, the Sony Ericsson G910 would make a fine rival for the first generation of handsets branded with the fashion designer’s logo. Designed by J. Havrlant, this concept phone is both stylish and touch-friendly.
Its navigational pad beneath the screen seems fairly easy to use, while the rest of the buttons surrounding it are (or seem) touch sensitive. I’m also betting that the display is a touchscreen and I can see that the handset features a frontal camera and probably Windows Mobile (notice the little icon on the left?).
Usually music phones show their nature via a couple of multimedia keys or through the Walkman branding, but there are a few handsets out there that resemble MP3 players so much that guessing their features is easy as pie. One of those is the Nokia 7280 and the other is J. Havrlant’s concept phone, the Sony Ericsson W509.
We’re dealing with a handset that comes with 4GB of internal memory, a 3.5 mm jack, a 176 x 220 display, a 2 megapixel camera and a MiniUSB. The W509 also uses extra music navigations keys and connects via EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA. Here’s the phone in glossy black:
