Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced the Nokia 6700 classic, the Nokia 6303 classic and the Nokia 2700 classic, three devices that build on the formula that made Nokia the world leader in mobile phones. The new trio combines the functionality and user experience required in today's hectic times, with premium designs and materials that make them the most beautiful, well built and competitively priced offerings available.

Leading the new collection is the Nokia 6700 classic, which continues the legacy of one of the company's most successful products, the Nokia 6300. "The Nokia 6300 raised the bar in terms of design and premium materials when it arrived in 2006 and topped all sales records for a mid-range mobile phone. The Nokia 6700 moves that bar even higher with a beautiful, slim design and perfectly balanced practicality," said Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President, Nokia. "Our new arrival shares the same 'DNA' as its predecessor and we believe that it will be one of our best selling devices in 2009," continued Petersen.

The Nokia 6700 combines smooth surfaces, rich materials and precisely crafted parts with a full metal keymat which completes the premium finish. Improving on all areas of its forerunner, the Nokia 6700 comes with a 5 megapixel camera, assisted GPS navigation with Nokia Maps, and high speed data access meaning sharing images or video is faster and easier than ever. At an estimated retail price of EUR 235, before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia 6700 addresses the original Nokia 6300 customer need and aspiration level perfectly.



At an estimated retail price of EUR 135, before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia 6303 classic is ideal for people that see the current value proposition of the Nokia 6300. The 3.2 megapixel camera comes to life on the large 2.2 inch screen, and with pre-loaded Nokia Maps, the Nokia 6303 combines a long list of features with excellent battery performance. Added to everything else, people can plug any music accessory into the standard 3.5 mm audio jack and have a fully fledged mobile music player able to carry thousands of their favorite tracks.



Rounding off the new arrivals is the Nokia 2700 classic which, at and estimated price of EUR 65 before taxes and subsidies, is one of Nokia's most affordable, full featured handsets. Offering up to 2GB of storage via the memory card slot, the phone also has an integrated digital music player and a 2.0 megapixel camera, making it equally competent for imaging and music. "These features mean people can save, access and share files in hundreds of formats via Nokia's online service, Share on Ovi, or a number of other websites. The rich features and simple interface mean that in many cases, the Nokia 2700 classic will provide its owner's first Internet experience," concluded Petersen. All three devices are expected to ship in the second quarter of 2009.

Oh, come on, they repeat their designs much more obviously than SE does.
It's always black and/or silver and with a body similar to the 6300 or the N81.

These look nice, particularly the 6700. Although not too keen on the buttons if they are anything like the 6500 classic. I had a 6300 and absolutely loved it... great little phone.

Why drastically change something that was a design classic (6300)???

The rate at which nokia comes out with new phones, there are bound to be similarities. SE releases like 10 phones per year.

Last year SE released 29 phones.

And Nokia's designs aren't just similar, they're variations of the same basic design.

They've kept the same design intentionally, they even said so in that press release at the top of this thread!

They've kept the same 'DNA' as the 6300 because it was a) a design classic and b) it was a huge sales hit. People loved everything about the 6300, and still do, and these three phones fill all the gaps:

2700 classic will be for people who want the 6300, but who can't get it any more (because it's older now, and Nokia are going to wind down production), plus it's cheap

6303 classic is the natural upgrade from the 6300 in terms of features and looks, with a similar price tag

6700 classic is for those who want the same top end features the 6300 offered in its day (for an S40 phone anyway), and the price is similar to what the 6300 was at launch anyway, so that'll be the big seller I expect.
My opinions on this forum are that of my own and not of the company I work for.

The classic 6700 and 6300 were good phones. No denying that.

I always liked the design of the 6300, and the 6700 looks even better!
But the S40 is just awful in my opinion, that stop me from getting one
