Nokia have detailed their latest somewhat uninspiring cell phone, the quadband (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) Nokia 3610 Fold, which, according to Nokia, sports a ‘understated elegance’ and which, somewhat intriguingly (or not) has an ‘ergonomic shape’ that ‘when opened makes for a seemingly natural alignment to the human face’ or which, to put it another way, offers a somewhat band set of specifications that resulted Nokia’s press machine scratching their heads thinking what exactly they can write that makes an otherwise somewhat dull handset seem even vaguely interesting.

So what does the somewhat bulky 100 x 44 x 20mm Nokia 3610 Fold have to offer? Well there’s a 1.3 megapixel camera with autofocus offering 6x digital zoom and a main 2” 262K colour 240 x 320 resolution display paired with an outer secondary display boasting 128 x 160 resolution. Additionally the Nokia 3610 Fold offers EDGE and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, a built-in multimedia player and a battery life offering a purported four hours of talktime and up to twenty days standby.
The Nokia 3610 Fold, which will come in blue, red and rose flavours, should become available sometime in the third quarter of this year and will retail for around a mere $125 prior to any subsidies which, lets be honest here, is quite probably the 3610 Fold’s only saving grace.
