Nokia’s 8208 GPS-Equipped Dual-Slider Phone Headed For China

by Justin

Nokia’s 8208 dual-sliding and GPS-equipped mobile phone, looking to be destined for the Chinese market as the Nokia 8208c, seems to be a ripoff of Nokia’s popular N95 and coming N96 models. One big difference is that the Nokia 8208 3G mobile runs on CDMA-based EVDO RevA networks like those from Verizon and Sprint in the United States. Interestingly Nokia’s specs list the 8208’s GPS service as using a hybrid GPS receiver for China Unicom and a standalone receiver for other countries. So if you can get your hands on one, it should work in the US.

Some of the Nokia 8208’s other features include:

2.2-inch QVGA 240 x 320 pixel screen
Nokia Series 40 spec user interface
SMS, LMS, MMS, smart messaging, email
FM radio, music player with dedicated co-processor and 20 hours of continuous playback and external music control keys
150 MB of internal memory, up to 8 GB on microSD card
Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
MicroUSB 2.0
Brew 3.1.5 browsing
3.0 megapixel camera with flash and 6x digital zoom
Dictionary for China Unicom
Average 4 hour talk time, 11 day standby time

No word right now on pricing details or expected availability dates and locations.
