Nokia 6120 classic delivers 3G HSDPA

The Nokia 6120 is a classic candybar phone with high-speed 3G connectivity

Classic looking but packed with Symbian S60 smartphone technology and 3G high-speed HSDPA connectivity, Nokia unveiled its new 6120 candybar phone today.

With HSDPA built in, the 6120 offers maximum download speeds on 3G networks of up to 3.6Mbit/s - nearly 10 times faster than regular 3G. In contrast to the gold-plated Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold announced yesterday, the 6120 adopts an understated design yet is a powerful smartphone, with a slim body and large display.

A 2-megapixel camera is built into the back of the phone, with a secondary video calling camera up front. Video streaming and high-speed downloading of video and audio content are supported, while a full Nokia web browser is featured in the phone's software. The phone also comes with a multi-format digital music player and FM radio built in.

As well as S60 smartphone functionality - enabling downloading of additional sophisticated applications - the 6120 supports email with attachments, and is geared up with an easy Set Up Wizard for messaging applications, plus a Data Transfer app for transferring information easily from another Nokia phone.

The 6120 is lined up for release in the second quarter of this year, priced at 260 euro (£175) SIM-free.

Commenting on the release of the 6120, Peter Ropke, senior vice president, Mobile Phones, Nokia said: "With the HSDPA technology, S60 operating system and the wide range of features of the Nokia 6120 classic, consumers will be able to make their daily lives more manageable."
