Nokia has announced a new entry-level phone called Nokia 1508. An entry-level segment usually doesn’t involve any of the interesting features and Nokia’s newest device isn’t an exception. However, this is the Finnish giant’s CDMA device and is therefor important for the company as it tries to increase its market share in the U.S.
Specs wise (we told you it’s a basic phone), the Nokia 1508 sports an FM radio and a voice recorder app that can record up to 3 minutes on a single go. The device has enough memory to store up to 500 contacts and 400 text messages.
As for the release date, users will be able to grab the latest Nokia phone somewhere in the third quarter of 2008 for next to nothing, or even for free on a contract. No carrier partners were announced, so far.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
