Today Nokia introduced three new phones that range from business to multimedia to basic use. All three have quad-band GSM/EDGE radios and Bluetooth.

E72: This bar-style phone runs S60 3rd Edition FP2 and has a full QWERTY keyboard. This spiritual successor to the E71 has several upgrades, including a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, 3.5mm headset jack, and a new "optical navi key" built into the D-pad for navigating and scrolling through the phone's menus. Other features include GPS, Wi-Fi, A2DP, microSD support, and built-in instant messaging and a more robust email client. It will come in a tri-band HSDPA 850/1900/2100 variant for North American markets. It is expected to hit the street by the end of the third quarter for $489.
5530 XpressMusic: This touch-based device is a follow up to the 5800. It runs S60 5th Edition and has a 2.9-inch screen, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, proximity sensor, accelerometer, and support for 16GB microSD cards. It has A2DP and Wi-Fi, but is limited to EDGE data. It should be available during the third quarter.
3710 Fold: This basic flip phone will come in a tri-band HSDPA 850/1900/2100 variant that includes 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, GPS, and media player. It runs Series 40 and will be available in the fourth quarter.
