Today, cell phone manufacturer Nokia announced three new cell phones, the 2730 classic, the 2720 fold, and the 7020.  The 2730 is the cheapest 3G cell phone to date.

Other than being the cheapest 3G phone, it sports a 2 inch QVGA screen, Bluetooth functionality, FM radio, and a 2MP camera.  If you would like another email address, Nokia will provide you with your very own account that features spam and virus protection. 

The new phones Nokia announced today were specially designed to meet the needs of people living in developing areas.  For example, the phone has the ability to store up to 1,000 contacts.  I’m sure most of us won’t be using all that contact space individually, but as a family, it is quite possible. 

Also, the battery life is 17 hours of pure standby time, and 3.3 hours talk time, and Nokia Life Tools comes standard.  The 2730 will become available in Q3 of 2009, selling for only $108.

The second phone Nokia announced today is the slim 2720, a clamshell-style phone.  It features Bluetooth, FM radio, MMS messaging, and an 18 hour standby battery life with 5 hours of talk time.  Expect this phone to become available in the third quarter for $75, a bit cheaper than the last phone.  Keep in mind, this phone does not have 3G connectivity. 

Nokia 7020

The last phone Nokia announced today is the 7020, which is also a clamshell phone.  It boasts a 2MP camera, ability to connect to social network websites, and will cost $124.  Unlike the other two phones, this one will be released in Q4 of 2009.
