Nokia have today announced two new handsets, namely the Nokia 6700 Slide and the Nokia 7230. Lets start with the 6700 Slide; a handset that Nokia has said is perfect for snapping pictures, shooting videos and then sharing them effortlessly. How does the phone achieve that? Well, image and video capture is taken care of courtesy of a 5.0 megapixel camera boasting Carl Zeiss Optics and built in image editing software. There’s also options to upload any images or video to the web directly from the camera menu.

In addition to this, similar to the 6700 Classic, the slide boasts 3G and HSDPA connectivity for web browsing and downloads, as well as HSUPA for lightning fast uploads too. Why such powerful download speeds i hear you ask? well, the 6700 is a Symbian S60 phone, meaning it is capable of running downloaded applications from Nokia’s Ovi Store. This all sits in an aluminum frame, like that found on the 6700 Classic, with a 2.2 inch screen to boot and is available in a wide variety of colours (pictured above).

The second handset Nokia have announced is the Nokia 7230; a £90 Social Networking focussed slider. For your £90, you actually get quite alot in the way of specs too, a 2.4 inch TFT screen, 3.2 megapixel camera with video capture, music player, Nokia Maps, email, bluetooth and GPRS as well as full social networking integration including Facebook, Flickr and instant messaging in the form of Google Talk and Windows Live.

Due for release in March and with a low cost price tag; we really quite like these handsets from Nokia, no doubt they’re going to be really good sellers, but come on already, give us the N900!! Keep an eye on the blog for more info.
