Nokia keeps it simple at CTIA

Rather than overwhelm us with a truckload of new mobiles, Nokia keeps it simple at this year's CTIA by adding only three new CDMA cell phones to its lineup. Furthermore, while the competition is pushing the technological envelope with mobiles that operate on high-speed EV-DO networks, have megapixel cameras, and boast myriad other high-end features, Nokia is aiming for the entry- to midlevel market. Heck, only one of them has a camera. An entry-level mobile, the 2115i is a candy bar-style handset that offers support for voice dialing and commands as well as a speakerphone; it even has a built-in flashlight. The company also is increasing its flip-phone lineup with such models as the 3155, which has dual 262,000-color screens, 12MB of memory, and an FM radio. Rounding out the trio is the 6155 flip phone, which boasts a 1-megapixel camera; dual 256,000-color screens; support for voice commands; and push-to-talk capabilities.
