I wasn’t overly excited when given the chance to write about these devices, but during my research I have decided ‘the oldies are the goodies’. It has been many years since any phone of mine lasted over 2 days without a charge, but all of these little beauties did that with ease. Also they are light, another thing I miss from ‘the good old days’, rather than having to wear a belt just so the weight of my new super device doesn’t take my trousers down to my ankles!
Anyway here is what I think of them and how they may help your business workforce:
Nokia 1616
The best value handset within the range, a great price for such a necessary piece of kit. Nice little screen with a backlit colour display. Looks like a tough cookie as well, I’m guessing it can handle a few small drops, although of course I don’t recommend trying it! Apparently the handset can last over 2 weeks on standby without needing a charge, very impressive! Also you never know when you may need the handy little flash light that this comes packed with!
2. Nokia 2323 – The Most Popular
Nokia 2323
Some nice little improvements here over the Nokia 1616, the stand out being the internet connection. That’s right this cracking little handset has internet access, all be it WAP, but internet none the less. It also lets you receive emails which is very handy indeed! All this combined with over 500 hours standby time and a phone book capable of 1000 entries makes this a top budget handset.
3. Nokia 2730 – The Better Looking
Nokia 2730 Classic
Wow! What a little looker, this is more of the stylish field agent handset rather than the robust engineer handsets that appeared earlier in the blog. This one packs a serious punch, it has lots to talk about for such a small price tag.
Check these main features out:
- 2 Megapixel Camera with video recording
- Memory card slot (up to 2Gb, 1 Gb included)
- MP3/WAV/WMV/eAAC+ player
- Bluetooth
I suppose that really I can’t really decide which is the best and worse as they are all designed for different uses within different industries, but the fact that these handsets all make the ‘Top 3’ list means that they are all excellent. Well worth the small amount of anyone’s money to get these in to your business!
Don’t forget all the Nokia accessories here. Things like car chargers, cases and bluetooth equipment.

This time though, they’re not all singing all dancing multimedia phones, instead Nokia have concentrated their efforts on lower end phones with a few less features. UK release dates haven’t yet been confirmed, but details of the new handsets announced are listed below:
Nokia 5130 XpressMusic:
This is one of the most affordable Nokia music phones so far. It has a 3.5mm headphone socket so you can use any standard earphones with it and has dedicated music keys. As with most Nokia camera phones now, it comes with a 2MP camera and has an FM radio. Now that Nokia have rolled out their OVI services, they are building support for it in most of their new handsets. The 5130 has built in support for Mail on Ovi and share on Ovi. These new services will add simple email setup and the ability to upload images directly to Ovi or other Social Networking sites such as Facebook. Read more on Ovi The 5130 should be released in the first 3 months of 2009.
Nokia 7100 Supernova:
Another handset for the Supernova line up! The 7100 is the starter handset in the range and features a high resolution display along with a 1.3MP camera. As with the 5130, it has FM radio and support for Mail on Ovi and Share on Ovi. The 7100 Supernova is expected to be available before Christmas.
Nokia 2320 Classic, Nokia 2323 Classic, Nokia 2330 Classic:
These 3 handsets all look the same, but vary slightly in their features. They all support Mail on Ovi and Nokia Life Tools. Read more on Life Tools The Nokia 2323 adds FM Radio, and the 2330 adds a basic camera. All three handsets are expected towards the middle of 2009.
Nokia 1202 and Nokia 1661:
The final two from Nokia are very basic handsets. Featurewise they have Flashlight, loud ringtones, phonebook and extended battery life. The 1661 also has FM Radio and a colour screen. Both are due early 2009.
Mail on Ovi, which is enabled on Nokia Series 40 devices, offers the possibility to create an email account directly on the mobile phone without having to use a personal computer, giving millions of users the possibility to create their first internet identity and communicate in new ways.

Nokia Life Tools is a range of innovative agriculture information and education services designed especially for rural and small town communities in emerging markets. Nokia Life Tools helps overcome information constraints and provides farmers and students with timely and relevant information. These services use an icon-based, graphically rich user interface that comes complete with tables and which can even display information simultaneously in two languages. Behind this rich interface, SMS is used to deliver the critical information to ensure that this service works wherever a mobile phone does, without the hassles of additional settings or the need for GPRS coverage.
