The Nokia 2720 Fold is expected to be shipped during Q3 of 2009 at a retail price of €55 and I must say, that price tag is certainly appealing considering the design and features packed into this phone. Since the look of a mobile phone is what typically first catches people’s attention, what say we begin with the 2720’s design?The outer casing of the Nokia 2720 comes in an eye-catching glossy finish that achieves a mirror effect. It might not be noticeable right off, but the front panel of the device actually sports an outer screen that comes to life when you receive email, messages and calls. Alternatively, you can press the volume key at the side if you want the display to light up. The phone comes in a clam-shell form factor that makes the phone quite easy to slip into the pocket. It comes in black and red variants, however, I should say the red design is the more striking between the two.
Certainly the features of a device are of great import and this latest offering from Nokia doesn’t disappoint. It may surprise you to find that at its affordable price, the phone is Internet capable. It boasts of the Ovi Mail and Life Tools applications although Life Tools may not be available in all areas. Ovi Mail allows users to take advantage of e-mail in three easy steps and without the need for a computer. Nokia Life Tools is a service that enables farmers and students to access information that is essential to their lives. For instance, farmers can request for fertilizer pricing reports whilst students can use their mobile to learn English.
Connectivity options include Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE and WAP. Talk time is up to five hours with a standby time of 16 days. The Nokia 2720 was unveiled together with two other Internet-ready, affordable devices from Nokia, the Nokia 2730 and Nokia 7020.
