Nokia is out with a new CDMA phone – 2228. Nokia 2228 is a slender monoblock device that combines an ultra lightweight design with an LED indicator. The low-end device seems designed to help the Finnish giant grab some marketshare in the CDMA space, where traditionally Nokia doesn’t stack well.Comes in a slim candy bar design, Nokia 2228 has 110 x 40 x 12 mm and its weight only 72 grams.Works on CDMA 1x, 800 MHz.
It’s an affordable 1.3 megapixel camera phone with a built in Nokia media player, supporting most of the common digital formats. It comes with speaker dependent voice recognition, an integrated handsfree speaker and can be used as a modem which allows a consumer to use their phone to connect to a PC for internet access. This Nokia cDMA phone also features stereo FM radio,  20-25 MB internal memory and video recorder. Nokia 2228 will be launched before the end of 2008 in select CDMA markets, which most probably means the US too. Its price was not announced, but it’s said to be an affordable one. Logical, since the handset only offers entry-level capabilities.

The new Motorola AURA that looks simply gorgeous seems as an effort to grab a piece of the luxury handset market and compete with likes of Vertu and Mobiado. The $2000 ‘Aura’, which has a circular screen, 62-carat sapphire crystal lens, and 200-part rotating mechanism that’s “more like opening a luxury car door than accessing a mobile device.” According to Motorola’s website, the expensive device combines “superb craftsmanship and a distinctive interface†and delivers “a sensory experience that is second to none for those with refined tastes.â€
Besides the call quality you will find a 2-megapixel camera, microUSB port, Stereo Bluetooth, multimedia player, the quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), web browser, CrystalTalk Technology, 2GB of internal memory, and 7.3 hours talk time with 400 hours if on standby. There’s no 3G radio on board, though I doubt the lack of it will mean much for the uber-rich folks who buy these kind of phones.The 4.97-ounce handset is available exclusively from the MOTO STORE
