Nokia has another touchscreen device in the works, headed to China
Regardless of what you think of pure touchscreen devices, most can agree that the addition of a touchscreen is a welcome addition to nearly any phone out there due to its convenience. With that in mind, information on a new device from Nokia has emerged out of China that may excite a few people. Named the 6208 Classic, the device apparently runs on a version of the S40 platform that has been altered to accommodate the physical limitations of a touchscreen without adversely affecting the physical alphanumeric keypad. With that said, it’s a shame this phone is nowhere close to being a looker but we still want to check it out. As for the specs, here’s what has been reported so far:
- 109.8mm x 49.3mm x 14.7mm, 120.ig
- Tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900
-
2.4″, 240 x 320 TFT touchscreen display, 16-million colors
- 3.2 megapixel camera w/ autofocus, 4x digital zoom and flash
-
13MB of internal memory
-
microSDHC support
We’re not willing to bet that the 6208 Classic will be officially sold outside of China, but hopefully some more capable devices with similar input methods get released in this part of the world in the near future.
Thanks, Dani!

just like SE g700 and g900 phones. touch though but small screens
Ewwww
*yawn*
Nokia was such an innovator. Seriously, their N97 is the only phone that made me say WOW. How can the feature packed N-Series be so boring to me now??
“Nowhere close to being a looker ” is right .
Nokia used to make handsets with beauty and brawn .
What happened ?
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: never trust a Czech.
They got the specs all wrong. If i say all, I mean all. Check this site: http://tweakers.net/nieuws/57500/nokia-lanceert-opnieuw-touchscreentoestel.html (it’s Dutch, but readable enough). They point at (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=nl&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nokia.com.cn%2Ffind-products%2Fproducts%2Fnokia_6208c%2F6208c-specifications&sl=auto&tl=en), the site of Nokia China.
