Three New Nokia Phones Announced
Nokia announced three new phones in their "classic" category today: the Nokia 6021, 6030 and the 6230i. These are all Series 40 phones but have some nice features compared to older series 40 phones.
The Nokia 6021 is a pretty standard series 40 candybar, but with the addition of EGPRS, bluetooth and Push-to-talk. This is also a triband phone. It is due for release second quarter of this year.
The Nokia 6030 is a pretty basic series 40 gprs phone, just with a new form factor.
The Nokia 6230i is the really cool one of the bunch. This triband GPRS/EDGE/MSCSD phone has some super nice features; especially for a series 40 phone. First off the high resolution display is 208 x 208 pixels. That is huge. It also sports a STEREO music player that supports MP3/AAC/M4A. The 6230i is also a camera phone that has a 1.3 megapixel cam, with 3X digital zoom. It also has some very nice features like bluetooth, Push-to-talk, an xHTML/HTML browser, video player. The 6230i is slated for release second quarter of this year.
Here is the announcement:

How does the push-to-talk work on non-nextel carriers?

You know, the Nokia 6030 reminds me of the Sony Ericsson T616

I am not an expert on PTT by any means, as it has thusfar been primarily a Nextel feature in the North American Market. I imagine that it works the same way on most carriers; a PTT server somewhere connected into the switch. From what I've read, we are going to start seeing a lot of PTT this year ( and probably law suits as well).
