A new Nokia feature phone has been spotted at the company’s Chinese website – Nokia 6208c. What’s significant about it is that this is the first Nokia touchscreen-equipped feature phone, running Series 40 user interface. Somehow, we’re not surprised as touch input is preferred for Chinese (and some other language) characters, but we did expect to see the official release, nonetheless.
Anyway, here are the specs:
- Tri-band (900/1800/1900 Mhz) GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio
- 3.2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom and dual-LED flash
- 2.4-inch QVGA (240×320 pixels) 16 million color touchscreen
- Bluetooth 2.0
- Standard 3.5mm headphone jack
- microSD card slot
- Size: 109.8×49.3×13.3 mm, weight: 120.1 grams
There’s also one more thing that I find interesting — it’s the look of the stylus which is located on the back of the device. As you can see from the image above, stylus looks like a part of the device’s shell making it thicker and, I guess, harder to lose.
Finally, let me also mentioned that the Nokia 6208c will be available in such markets as China, India, the Middle East and North Africa — i.e. everywhere where stylus is preferred method for text input. Price is unknown at this stage, but as soon as we hear something, we’ll let you know, k?
