Nokia seems to be increasing its presence in Indian touch screen mobiles market. There buzz is that the company is going to release four-five such mobile phones in the country this year. The launch of Nokia 6208 Classic seems to be one more step in the direction after Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
The touchscreen cellphone was released in China some times ago. 6208 Classic has got a 2.4-inch QVGA display with resolution of 320 x 240 pixels capable of displaying up to 16.7 million colours, multimedia player, FM Radio, handwriting recognition support and a 5-way navi-key. The handset also has a 3.2 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and 8x digital zoom. The phone comes with 64MB of internal memory, which can of course be expanded upto 8GB with microSD cards. There is a 3.5mm jack for earphones. Strangely enough, Wi-Fi or 3G support is missing although EDGE is there.
The one thing that sets Nokia 6208 Classic apart from other phones in the category is that the device is based on S40 platform. The phone will be priced at Rs. 13,259 in India.
Beside trying to cash on the current popularity of these devices, the Finnish cellphone maker is aiming to generate revenue from applications specific to these devices. It is note worthy that recently the company launched its much hyped Ovi app store in some countries and intends to expand these online stores to further countries too. What is more Nokia is planning to release sub 10K touch screen models soon.
