Nokia 6208C Touch Review

In today’s world, Technology has improved a lot and the new advancements in science brought so many changes in the electronics field. One of the world’s best mobile phone manufacturer Nokia just released a new touchscreen phone, with an alphanumeric keyboard.
The name of this new series is Nokia 6208 c or Nokia 6208 Classic. It’s almost the first to have a touchscreen and a regular, alphanumeric keypad. The nice glossy look of the phone makes it very cool and attractive one for all the experienced touchscreen users. Now lets discover some of the features of the new Nokia 6208 Classic.

New Nokia Touchscreen phone

First of all it is well and specifically designed for China market. The Nokia 6208c features a 2.4-inch touchscreen display, a 3.2 Megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom and dual LED flash, Bluetooth 2.0 and support for microSD memory cards. The 6208c runs S40 OS and comes with integrated media player for audio and video playback, FM tuner, Flash Lite player.
This S40 touchscreen phone supports tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 network. Many are guessing that the ‘c’ in the phone name Nokia 6208 c stands for “China”, as it is already listed in the China’s websites. One of the cool feature is the input is provided through the alphanumeric keypad and handwriting input which more or less means the touchscreen display is limited to stylus input.
But even though many features are there which makes it more special in the market, especially in the Chinese market. Some things are lacking in it and make it bit complex in working. The new Nokia 6208 Classic does not run on Symbian. It weighs around 130 grams and the size is given by 109.8 x 49.3 x 14.7 millimeters. The look of the phone is not that much bad or good.
The planned new classic in 6208 with the designation is intended for the Chinese market, as evidenced by eight digits at the end of the name. As the name reveals that the phone is mainly eying for the Chinese market. The mobile phones are popular with the touch screen, as they allow easy entry of Chinese characters. So this is another milestone from Nokia in touchscreen revolution. I hope that this will make a new revolution in the Chinese, as well as other Asian markets through its new features. Better try it and feel the difference by using touchscreen and alphanumeric characters.
