With a wide and high-quality touch screen with 65,536 colours, the Nokia 7710 is a pleasure to use for a variety of tasks. The powerful Nokia 7710 includes a full Internet browser, an integrated music player with stereo audio, an extensive set of video features such as playback, streaming and recording, a megapixel camera with 2-x digital zoom and FM radio with Visual Radio client. The Nokia 7710 works on GSM/GPRS/EGPRS 900/1800/1900 networks."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/7710_01.jpg" /><br /><br />Damn, I just bought my Blackberry 7100t (since I wanted the always-on email) but this phone looks great, has all the features like push email, 2MP camera, PIM, multimedia and JPEG viewer (plus has movile TV and radio capabilities) and it is even compatible with the US network. Pity that there does not appear to be any plan for release in the US but people can always order it off of some for foreign website, for a premium.

For those of you that are interested in the cost, it is priced at €500 ($638).

Ahh, cool, thanks for mentioning. Well, it is significantly more expensive than the $200 Blackberry 7100t or the $250 Sidekick II but the functionality you are getting is almost the same as the $1000 Nokia 9500 Communicator.

I got my information from this link (http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/11/02/HNnokiapda_1.html?source=rss&url=http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/11/02/HNnokiapda_1.html) if you're wondering. The Nokia press release didn't mention two other phones that are to be released soon.

On Tuesday the company introduced two more camera phones, in fact -- the 6020, which allows users to send animated multimedia messages, and the 3230, which offers mobile video recording and editing. Both are aimed at the midmarket, and will begin shipping in the first quarter of next year.

Nokia are releasing devices faster than a speeding bullet. I'd be interested to see how these devices fare in the coming months.

I'm quite excited to someday see the digital TV, DVB-H, in action. This is something that I often have missed for, erhm, certain motorsports events... ;)

But, some of the new ideas in the 7710 might also stimulate some innovation on the PDA market. (Not that the innovation is lacking, it is just that it seems to be grinding to a halt) Like the multilanguage input that I've seen featured on the 7710, but which might be a rumor.
