Nokia makes many different cell phones. Current phones can be categorized by design, key features and advanced features. Designs include the classic candy bar shape, folding, sliding, twisting, large screen and full keyboard phones. They all make calls but key features can include Bluetooth, Internet browser, mail application, 3G Speed, FM radio, music player, video recorder and camera. Advanced features include N-Gage gaming, Wi-Fi, speaker phone, video playback, Blackberry-like push e-mail, global positioning system (GPS) and global roaming support.
N Series
The N Series phones are the most feature-rich. There are currently 13 N Series ranging from the just released N97 at $699 unlocked with a touchscreen, to the N96, N95, N86, N85 at $649.99 unlocked, N79 and N76 unlocked at $449.99. They all have many advanced features.
E Series
The E-Series is not quite as high-end as the N Series but still the phones still have plenty of smartphone type features and good keyboards, making them suitable for business use. They range from the email-friendly E75 unlocked at $569.99, business-oriented E71, the E52 with long battery life, the E66 with excellent personal information management, messaging-oriented E63 to the classic-looking, thin E51 at $399.99 unlocked.
Everyday Phones
Nokia's everyday phones are designated by four digit numbers rather than the N or E designator with two numerals. They range from the 6600i slide with powerful imaging; the simple 6720s, with a classic candy-bar design; a folding sensuous-looking 6600; integrated navigation and good-sized screen in the 6210 Navigator; the 6500 slide with a camera and flash; the balanced-looking 6500 Classic; the mirrored 7610 Supernova; simple-looking 3600, 6303, 6120; the interchangeable covers on the 7310 Supernova; the simple 3610 fold; stainless steel covers on the 6300; music-oriented 5800 unlocked at $399.99 and 5130 Xpress Music; funky looking 7210 Supernova; affordable 3120 Classic; and the 7100 Supernova
Low-end Phones
Once you get down below the 5000 designator they get a bit boring, but at least they're cheap and durable. The 5000 has a camera. There's the robust 3100 Classic; the 2680 unlocked at $89.99 with a pretty good screen; the 2610 that AT&T uses for its no-contract phone at $29.99; the 3109 with four hours talk time; the 2630 and the 2760s with a VGA camera; the 2330; and the 2600 with customized ring tones.
Bottom End
At the bottom end is the bland but affordable 1661 and 1208.
