This is Cool8800C, a mobile phone that can transform to be a NES gaming console. When you first look at the phone, you can see a 2.2-inch display and number keys, which can be unfolded. Once you open them, you can find dedicated gaming keys and another 2.8-inch display for you to enjoy NES games.

The phone supports also MP3 and AVI playback. It has FM tuner and supports GSM 900/1800MHz networks. It costs $140.

t looks like a slider, and it looks like a touch-screen. Unfortunately, the Nokia 6303 is neither - it’s just another budget handset based on the design of the older Nokia 6300. I have to admit, though, it feels like somewhere along the way this phone evolved into some kind of alien device. It’s just too round for me.

Well, let’s start with the major points: 7 hours of battery life, stainless steel design, 3.2 megapixel camera, 2.2″ true color screen, 3.5mm audio jack. Not bad for an S40.

The camera has a dual LED flash, and allows MPEG-4 VGA video recording @ 15 frames per second.

The XpressMusic line has been so vastly improved that it isn’t even funny. Two years ago, XpressMusic phones (known here as XpressPlastic) were akin to Fisher-Price toys for tots - now, the line has expanded to include Nokia’s first touch-screen phone (5800 XpressMusic) and a bunch of actually decent midrange models. What the heck happened?

Unfortunately, I can’t answer that question, but I can shed some light on the newest XpressMusic, the 5630. The 5630 is a quad-band + 3G (WCDMA 2100/900) candy bar that’s super thin @ 12mm, and runs the Symbian OS. That in itself is a huge bonus, as most of the phones in this price range are S40 “dumbphones”. I’ve lost track of which S60 version we’re up to, but there’s definitely some noticeable differences in the interface - one being the addition of a scrollable quick contacts bar, which stores 20 people (names and images). Looks cool.

You might recall a certain Nokia N85 phone released back in September that packed some serious features (among them an AMOLED display) into one slick little dual-slider. Well, take that phone, throw in an 8 megapixel camera, kick-stand, and some metal siding and glass and you’ve got…the Nokia N86 8MP.

The funny thing about the N86 8MP is that it doesn’t exactly improve on a lot of the N85’s functionality. This is mostly because the N85 was fairly ridiculous to start with - with a price of 450 euros ($658 USD at the time), you could expect some serious hardware for the price you paid. So it’s good to know that Nokia is retailing the N86 at 375 euros ($471 USD), instead of a higher price point.

At the Mobile World Congress this week, Nokia unleashed a virtual crapload of devices, services, agreements, and practically everything else under the sun. Among the phones announced was the E75 and E55, two very similar looking Eseries handsets with a big emphasis on messaging. One has a half-keyboard (Blackberry style I suppose), while the other has a four-row slide-out QWERTY. The E75 is the latter, and basically it’s a longer, thicker E66. That is, an E66 with a horizontal sliding QWERTY keyboard. The good news is, at 14.4 mm, it’s still pretty thin even with the keyboard.

Seven months and twelve days ago. That’s when we first caught a (leaked) glimpse of the Nokia 8208, Nokia’s first CDMA dual-slider. And while Nokia’s American CDMA operations desperately need a pick-me-up like the 8208, it’s not coming here. At all. But it looks nice.
