Namely the Nokia 6316s, Nokia 3806 and Nokia 1506, are the new additions to the handset vendor’s CDMA portfolio which meant to show Nokia’s commitment towards CDMA.The Nokia 1506 is expected to become available in China at the end of 2009, while the Nokia 6316s and the Nokia 3806 are expected to become available during the first quarter of 2010.
The 6316s is the most advanced device, sporting support for China Telecom’s 3G data network, a built-in GPS receiver and media playback with dedicated controls on top of the slider. The stainless steel phone is available in black, gold and red.There is also a 2.2-inch display with 320×240 resolution, a 2-megapixel camera and Bluetooth 2.1 support.

A certain LG KM555E has appeared over at LG Ukraine’s website. The LG LG KM555E will feature a big touch sensitive screen and a resolution at 240×400 pixels.
The LG KM555E will be equipped with 3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.1, FM Radio and 40MB of on-board memory and microSD card support (8GB maximum). The device will be a quad-band GSM without 3G support. It is also predicted if the phone sports a 3.5mm jack or not, but we hope it does, because that would make the LG KM555E more appealing to music lovers. The 950 mAh battery of LG KM555E can provide up to 5.5 hours of talk time or up to 390 hours of stand-by time.
Perhaps we will find this new LG KM555E touchscreen phone in the LG booth during the upcoming Mobile World Congress; the MWC 2010, held in February in Barcelona. This huge event is the place to see all new mobile phones in all shapes and sizes
