Nokia gunned another two new phones to its ever growing portfolio, the Nokia 3720 Classic which was introduce last July 9 and the Nokia Surge last July 12, 2009.
Nokia 3720 Classic is the newest addition to Nokia's highly popular rugged devices, IP-54 certified, the phone is designed to resist water, dust and shock thus calling it the most rugged mobile phone handset to date. The phone also have some decent specs, running with an S40 UI, it has 16Million color resolution, 2.2 inches screen, 20MB internal memory with a microSD card slot, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, 2MP camera with LED flash, Stereo FM with RDS, MP3/eAAC+/WMA and MPEG4 player, Nokia Maps for S40, Voice memo, LED Torch among others. It also has a decent battery life of about 7hours Talk Time and 408hours of Standby Time, that's a whole lot of power right there.
I'm pretty sure theirs a big market for this kind of device, its a fact that majority of people on the streets works with danger in toe and a lot people wants to play hard and rough to everything even in their mobile phones unconsciously, this would spare them a bit the worry. I would have wish that Nokia will bring this kind of technology to high end phones, it would be perfect. The thought of being able to surf the web underwater or taking picture of yourself falling down from a 3 story building would have been fun without doing harm to your phone. c",
Starting today, I will be rating the new phone base on Design and Specs just to have a clear distinction, -50 as the highest and 50 as the lowest.
Design: -35 I like the Yellow one
Specs: -35 The rugged counts a lot here.
Overall: -35
Nokia 6790 Surge in the other hand is an S60 device with almost the same specs to that of the 3730 Classic except that it has a QWERTY sliding form factor, .2 inches bigger screen, without the rugged edge and to be offered exclusively for AT&T is the US. I made mention that I will not be featuring phones on this blog that are not interesting enough but this phone has something worth noting, its rather odd looks which is not a typical Nokia design. I believe, AT&T was the main culprit of this oddity handing down their own design and feature which they thought would hit best among their consumers. Well Americans does have an awful taste, they love iPhones c", kidding! But I myself is a big fan of bizarre things so this phone is thumbs up for me.
