High end CDMA phones from Nokia are as rare as hair on chickens teeth. Naturally I was delighted to come across this.Meet the 8208. The newest CDMA (EV-DO/1Xrtt) based handset from the Finnish giant.
Designwise, the 8208 bears uncanny resemblance to its GSM based cousin N96 and from what it seems, would end up as the first phone from the Series 40 stable to sport a dual-slider design.
There is a Chinese version as well, the 8208C.
On the features front, the Camera is a 3.0 megapixel unit with flash and 6X digital zoom. The 2.2 inch screen displays 16 million colors and sports a decent QVGA (240 x 320) resolution. The internal memory of 150MB can be expanded upto 8 GB with Micro SD cards. For music buffs, there is a 3.5mm jack, FM Radio, and a dedicated music co-processor. A GPS module is a part of the standard accessories list. The phone also supports Brew 3.1.5 for browsing. There is a mini USB port and Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR.
Nokia claims the phone is good for 20 hours of music playback on a full charge. Also, the dual slider design means dedicated music keys. Apart from this, the phone has a 11 day standby and 4 hours of talktime.
As of now this is still listed as “Coming Soon” on the Nokia Website: http://master.ncomprod.nokia.com/link?cid="PLAIN_TEXT_1005864
