If you think you've seen the Nokia 6121 Classic before, you'd be right. It is almost identical in every way to the Nokia 6120 Classic announced in the spring.

As with the 6120, this is a lightweight HSDPA-capable 3G phone with a two megapixel camera and dual-band UMTS. However, this time the Nokia 6121 Classic comes with 900/2100 MHz UMTS rather than the 6120's 850/2100 MHz arrangement. And just in case you're wondering who uses 900 MHz UMTS.. well, at the moment we can't thing of anyone, but this is a proposed standard to roll out 3G networks in countries where cost is an issue and this frequency band requires less base stations to make it work than the "traditional" 2100 MHz frequency.

Nokia say that the 6121 Classic should be available during Q3 2007 for around €260 / £160 / £300 before tax and subsidy.

These three new Nokia handsets are aimed at midrange customers and consist of two 3G devices and a stylish GSM handset aimed at the value-for-money end of the midrange market.
Nokia 6267

The Nokia 6267 is a very conventional looking Nokia clamshell phone, however this particular handset is a 3G device with dual-band 850/2100 MHz UMTS plus quad-band GSM with GPRS and EDGE data. In other words, the Nokia 6267 will work pretty much anywhere in the world, including 3G networks in the US. In effect, this is the clamshell version of the Nokia 6120 Classic.


In terms of specifications, the Nokia 6267 hits the midrange of the market precisely - featuring a 240x320 pixel main panel in 16 million colours, a 2 megapixel camera plus a secondary camera for video calling, stereo Bluetooth, microSD expandable memory (up to 4GB) and external media controls.

As the model number might suggest, this is a Symbian Series 40 device and not a smartphone. Still, that's good enough for the vast majority of customers and indeed the 6267 seems to have been designed to appeal to a wide customer base without adding too many expensive features.
