The two new phones are targeted at users in emerging markets and include entry-level feature sets. Only one will find its way to the U.S. The 2600 Classic, not to be confused with the existing 2600 model, is a bar-style phone that will come in a number of different colors and have a removable face plate. There will be two versions of it, including a GSM/EDGE 850/1900 version that is compatible with U.S. networks. It also has MP3 ringtones, an FM radio, and a VGA camera. It is already available for $95.

It is already available overseas.

It will not be made available directly to U.S. buyers, so you'll have to check around the Internet to see if you can buy an unlocked one.
