Symbian-Powered Nokia 603 Rolls Out

While we wait for the Nokia to unveil its first Windows Phone-based device, the Finland-based company still clings to its Symbian roots by introducing the Nokia 603. The Symbian Belle handset is powered by a 1GHz processor. Specs include a 3.5-inch scratch-resistant capacitive touchscreen with 640 x 360 resolution (which is optimized for use in sunlight), 2GB of internal memory, 32GB microSD card slot, a 5-megapixel camera, NFC capabilities, and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity.

The handset comes preloaded with Maps, as well as social networking games and apps. Users will also be able to capture, edit, and share photos to friends.

Judging from its press release, Nokia 603 is tagetted to loyal Nokies who want a smartphone that offers the latest in technology without feeling left out to the iPhone and BlackBerry users around them. The handset is available in six different back cover colors (black, white, fuchsia, green, yellow, and blue).

Nokia is also taking this opportunity to introduce its Luna Bluetooth Headset, which also supports NFC and works for up to eight hours of extended talk time.

The Nokia 603 will cost 200 euros (about US$275), while the Luna headset will be priced at 70 euros (around $96). Both products are expected to be shipped in fourth quarter of 2011.
