Nokia 600, 700, 701 (new low-mid-lvl-devices)
So Nokia had a reveal Event in Hong Kong revealing some new low/mid end phones (so the pricing announced although in USD is the pricing in Asia i suppose as Nok phones are usually cheaper in the US/CAN since well no1s buying em)
They're all 1ghz devices with 512mb ram (nokias even throwing em into their 7-11 paygo phones guess they bought a shitload)
Nokia 700 world's smallest touch screen $390USD (msrp so you know its going to be less than that on Amazon)
AMOLED clearback display Gorilla Glass More Pics Info
Nokia 701 world's brightest smartphone screen $420USD (msrp so you know its going to be less than that on Amazon)
IPS LCD clearblack display Gorilla Glass More Pics Info
Nokia 600 world's loudest smartphone $260USD (msrp so you know its going to be less than that on Amazon)
TFT (has an internal antenna for radio so you dont need to depend on headphones) More Pics Info
Official Belle Ad (Belle is basically Symbian^4 but since they've decided to scrap the naming and offer upgrading to past phones they decided to name them female names and call em updates)
Not sure if she shows that you can drag icons/widgets across homescreens
Also your Icon Orientation in Landscape and Portrait mode are different (so that you can customize your UI to look best in either Mode)
If you guys want to say "Oh they copied Android!" I can understand why you think that but you're wrong
It was previously Nokias goal to make the UI of Symbian devices and Maemo/MeeGo devices look the same and so what you think is Android is really the Maemo look (which came out before Android)
Specs Sheet
Spoiler!
and if you actually want to watch the Keynote reveal done in Hong Kong its also got some tidbits of info
Bringing the new notification area, the customizable widgets and the flat menu, the Belle update certainly brings Symbian a step closer to the competition. In fact, the Nokia 701 felt quite intuitive to use, unlike the early Symbian^3 devices, which were still unable to shake off their non-touch heritage.
