Nokia Releases Three New Mobile Phones to its Lineup – 8600 Luna, 6500 Classic, 6500 Slide

Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s launched a new high-end handset, and a couple mid-rangers, for its 2007 lineup. The much anticipated and highly praised Nokia 8600 Luna is finally upon us! The beautifully slick and shiny slider takes its place as the high-end designer phone in this year’s Nokia offerings. The steel and glass-clad handset features 2 megapixel shooter and hugely bright display – with the first microUSB port to be implemented by Nokia. Pricing for the Nokia Luna will be around 700 Euros for the stand alone phone – and will start shipping this quarter.

The mid-range front is now bolstered with the introduction of Nokia’s 6500 Classic and 6500 Slide. As the names might suggest, the Classic features a traditional candybar form-factor, while the Slide rocks that cool keypad slider. The Nokia 6500 Classic sports a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 Mhz) GSM radio with 3G and microUSB in a 9.5mm super-thin package – now that’s thin! The Nokia 6500 Slide also boasts a 3G radio and features a 3.2 megapixel camera in a stainless steel body.

The Classic will be available for about 320 Euros and the Slide is expected at a 370 Euro price-point.
