Nokia unveils trio of new phones!

Nokia unveils trio of new phones! Introducing the E72, 5530 XpressMusic and 3710 fold: Nokia's latest trio of mobile phones

With the iPhone 3G S and the N97 going on sale later this week, you’d be forgiven for thinking all phone manufacturers for keeping their products under wraps. Nokia, however, is chucking phones at us as if they were dodge balls. The latest? The Nokia E72, 5530 XpressMusic and Nokia 3710 fold.

The E72 is the Finnish phone company’s follow up to the popular E71, and adds a hefty five-megapicel camera to its business styling. As Sir Alan might say: “It’s a blardy, lurvly, camerahhh!” You also get a 3.5mm headphone jack, integrated compass (as is all the rage at the moment), HSDPA for speedy internet access, and an optical navigation pad.

If you’re less about business (and let’s face it, in these economic climes most of you are), and more about the music, then the 5530 XpressMusic is like the 5800’s little brother, only not quite as talented. There’s no 3G for a start in this S60 5th Edition phone, but it does still have Wi-Fi. Elsewhere, there’s a 2.9-inch, 640×360 pixel touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash, and 3.5mm headphone jack.

Finally, there was the Nokia 3710 fold – a more affordable offering taking the form of a clamshell mobile that’s aimed at fashionistas on a budget with its “artistic pattern” on the shell. Forget the swirls for a minute, and you’ll find a 3.2-megapixel camera, 3G, A-GPS, a 2.2-inch screen and a second camera for video calls.

The Nokias E72 (€350) and 5530 (€199) will go on sale in Autumn, with the 3710 fold (€140) getting its release closer to Christmas.

ive got the nokia 5530 xpressmusic and ive got to say its not too different from the 5230 except for a couple of things: -1 the 5530 isnt so much as a brick as th 5230 -2 the 5230's speakers in my opinion are much louder -3 with 5230 you use 3G (internet provided by your phone) whilst the 5530 connects wirelessly to the internet
