The latest entries into the CDMA handset market from Nokia (NYSE: NOK) were unveiled today at the 3G World Congress in Hong Kong. Targeted at consumers who use their mobile phone primarily for basic features like making phone calls voice and text messaging, the Nokia 1265 and Nokia 1325 feature a number of desirable features such as handsfree speakers and voice recorders.

"With the new features of the Nokia 1265 and Nokia 1325, consumers are getting functionality along with ease of use," said Larry Paulson, Vice President, CDMA, Nokia. "The features most of us take for granted on our phones are front-and-center on these new products for first-time mobile phone users.  These two new products expand the range of Nokia models consumers can choose from at an entry level."

Nokia 1325 – Intuitive design, easy-to-use functions
The new Nokia 1325 offers great functionality in a slim package, ideal for first-time phone users in Asia-Pacific, China, Latin America, the Middle-East and Africa.

Nokia 1265 – Lighter by design, heavy on features
The Nokia 1265 combines mobile features such as easy text messaging with predictive text and 32-Polyphonic MIDI capabilities with an integrated handsfree speaker, plus a 60-second voice recorder.

Can’t find pictures, and I wait for the death of CDMA. In conclusion: boringgg. Yes if you’re in one of the emerging countries this might be cool, the whole point is to get mass market share so hopefully when the population goes to upgrade they’ll stick to Nokia.
