The Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is a 3G smartphone highlighted by a dedicated audio chip for better quality of music performance. It features twist design that easily switches between four modes - music player, 2 Megapixel camera, video call and smartphone. All the features for music — 2GB MicroSD card, Bluetooth stereo headphones or 3.5mm plug-equipped headphones and the included headset adaptor or through built-in stereo loudspeakers. It also supports album art, playlists, plus a 5-band equalizer and audio visualizations. The digital formats supported include WMA, MP3, AAC, as well as eAAC+ and MP4.

Rumors about the Nokia 7088 can now calm down. Nokia has officially launched the Nokia 7088 which is not only the first CDMA model in the popular L’Amour Collection, but also the first slider version of this fashion collection. “The Nokia L’Amour Collection has been enthusiastically received by design minded individuals around the world. We are pleased to be able to bring this bold expression of style and taste to CDMA customers,” said Larry Paulson, vice president and general manager of Nokia’s CDMA business. This much-sought after design offers a video recorder, camera with LED flash, 128 x 160 pixel color display, two-way speakerphone, voice recorder and calendar.

Probably this latest CDMA fashion phone will be available in Asia/Pacific, Middle East, Africa, China and Latin America during the 2nd quarter of 2007.
