Ok, I'm just a little tired of using any brain juices for any sensible entries but I'm guessing some of u friends come here to look at what I have to say about some phones, so here goes.

Nokia seems to be picking up form again, with the release of 6021, 6820 and N80 within the past year or so. They've just released the 6131 clamshell, which may be good for people wanting something in between the camera-less 6021 and the 2 megapixel 6820 smartphone.



Highlights:
-240x320 pixel 2.2" 16 million colours internal display, 262k colours external display. don't be fooled to think there's a gigantic difference between 16M and 262k, cos you may not be able to tell it. the resolution will be great though.
-microSD memory expansion (hot-swappable, but back cover must be opened to access slot)
-1.3 megapixel camera, 8x digital zoom, no flash
-speedy series 40 interface
-quad-band (usable almost anywhere even if you're on holiday or work trips)
-button on right side of hinge to open flip (panasonic style)
-FM, MP3 player
-speakerphone
-large, simple keypad for easy sms-ing
-GPRS, EDGE (not in singapore), bluetooth, java, infrared, push to talk (available in all nokia phones from mid level up)
-flight mode that switches off GSM radio but allows other features like MP3 players to be used in places where it is recommended that phones should not be turned on
-92 x 48 x 20 mm, 102grams
-$475 without contract (could go down soon)

So it's more expensive than a Sony Ericsson K750i now and the camera should be some way off, but it's not like anyone uses the phone as a proper digital camera. Anyway, the display is what you look at much more often, and this is where the 6131 excels. So for SE refuseniks who think the K750i has been on shelves too long already, this could soon make a good alternative.
