Is Nokia about to release a new music based phone anytime soon? Well, if the product page of this “unofficially announced” Nokia 8208 is an indication, we may well be looking at a new Nokia slider waiting to be officially unveiled. The new handset is called the Nokia 8208 which from what we’ve gathered is being geared for a release in the Chinese market. Based on what we can see from the product page, the Nokia 8208 is being prepped to be another music phone which interestingly does not belong to the Nokia N-series models.

The Nokia 8208 is a two-way slider phone with key features such as a 3.0-megapixel camera, external keys for playing music, FM Radio, digital music player and a GPS service which is either a stand-alone receiver for other countries or a hybrid GPS receiver for China’s Unicom. In addition, the 8208 also features a dictionary for China Unicom. Other features of the Nokia 8208 include; a 2.2-inch QVGA display, Series 40 spec, Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

No word yet on pricing or a release date, or even whether this will be released in the US market. But since its a CDMA phone which supports access to EVDO Rev. A networks, we might be looking for a possible release sometime in the future.

Nokia has just released one of its N-Series handsets, the N78 to the US mobile market. And while we accept the fact that this is a worthy addition to the slew of smartphones already available, mainly because of its rich and powerful features, some may find its $560 price tag a little bit on the expensive side. But if you are a Nokia fan and you wouldn’t mind spending that much for a new N-Series Nokia phone, take a gander at what the N78 has to offer.

The Nokia N78 features a 3.2-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and automatic geotagging, a-GPS, an integrated FM transmitter, digital music player, high-speed HSDPA connectivity on North American 850/1900 MHz networks, support for Nokia Maps and Share using Nokia’s Ovi site, as well as a touch-sensitive keyboard and microSDHC card slot.
