On a weekend that has been wholly dominated by cell phone news – specifically concerning the HTC Leo’s full specifications, the Somin XP2 Spirit surfacing, and the unlocked Nokia E72 being up for pre-order in the US – we close today with news that Nokia’s budget music phone, the Nokia 6350 clamshell, has now hit AT&T.

The Nokia 6350 phone, which, as stated above, very much falls into the lower end of the music phone market, apart from boasting dedicated music keys, comes with a 2” inner primary 16M color TFT display offering 240 x 320 resolution supplemented by an externally (lid) mounted 1.36” 128 x 160 resolution secondary display and apart from boasting 3G/HSDPA connectivity also offers up Bluetooth (v2.1 with A2DP) but comes sans WiFi. Also, considering this is a music phone, you’ll not be able to bank on integrated radio tuner though the phone at least covers the main audio file formats (namely MP3, WAV and eAAC+) as well as playing ball with MP4, H.263 and H.264 video formats.

Other ‘notable’ features include a 2 megapixel camera (which, let’s be honest here, even on a budget phone is wholly uninspiring), aGPS only, speakerphone functionality and WAP 2.0/xHTML, HTML web browser and, well, that’s pretty much your lot.

Agreed, the Nokia 6350 hardly sets the world on fire in terms of either specifications or features but then, to be fair, this has to be seen in context with its pricing which will see you walk away with a shiny new 6350 for just shy a mere $30 subsequent to applying a mail-in rebate and on the basis of you signing yourself away for two years.
