Nokia, at an event in Turkey, has launched two of its new products Nokia Luna and Nokia 603.
Nokia Luna is the Bluetooth headset in fancy but pretty outfit which additionally has been enabled with NFC. Nokia 603 on the other hand is new Symbian Belle smartphone which is supposed to be an affordable one.
Nokia Luna: A Bluetooth Headset
Nokia Luna is coming in black, white, fuchsia, green, yellow and blue, the Nokia Luna Bluetooth Headset will be available from Q4 2011 and should cost around €69 before any local taxes.
Like the recent Nokia J headset, there are voice prompts to assist you with pairing, and also to tell you when the battery is low. So pairing is pretty simple. It’s even simpler if you’ve got one of our phones with NFC built in (Currently, the Nokia C7, Oro, 600, 603, 700, 701 and N9). In that case, you can just bump the two things together and the job’s done.
It’s a compact little unit. The earpiece weighs a mere 5g, while the holder is 18.3g. On the technical front, it supports Bluetooth specification 2.1 + EDR, Handsfree profile 1.5 and Headset Profile 1.1 advanced multipoint. That last one is pretty important, because it means you can attach two different phones to the headset – for work and personal phones, for example. Battery life is pretty special, too: up to eight hours talktime or sixty days standby (providing you pop it back in the holder).
Nokia 603: Symbian Belle Smartphone
The phone comes in black and white varieties, but – as you’ll have seen from the pictures – six swappable rear covers will help owners express their individual personalities. The Nokia 603 will ship in Q4 2011 and is expected to cost around €200 before any local taxes or operator subsidies.
Powered by a 1GHz processor, the Nokia 603 is responsive even while multitasking many apps. It’s rated to last for seven hours talktime and 460 hours in standby, considerably longer than other phones with this sort of feature set. The phone measures 113.5 x 57.1 x 12.7mm and weighs 106.9g. It offers Pentaband reception (WCDMA 850/900/1700/1900/2100, GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900), Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi and the latest HSDPA 3G – offering downloads up to 14.4Mbps
With a 3.5-inch ClearBlack display under toughened glass to make sure your screen is visible even in bright sunlight, The screen offers nHD resolution (640 x 360 pixels) and 16 million colours.
