Nokia has just officially announced five low-end handsets: the 1280, 1616, 1800, 2220 Slide, and 2690. Let's kick things off with the Nokia 1280, which is what you see above. It is Nokia's cheapest handset to date, retailing for just 20 Euros ($30 USD). It packs: a 96 x 68 resolution monochrome (black and white) display, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an FM radio, GSM connectivity, a flashlight, S30, and a battery that should last 8.5 hours talk-time and 22 days of standby. Yes, it looks like a toy.

What you see above is the Nokia 1616 and the Nokia 1800, which cost 24 Euros ($35 USD) and 26 Euros ($38 USD), respectively. They both look similar and feature pretty much the same specs, that's: a 128 x 160 resolution display, an FM Radio, a flashlight, and Nokia Life Tools.

We've seen this handset before, it's the Nokia 2220 Slide that features: a 128 x 160 resolution display, Bluetooth support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an FM radio, a VGA camera, 32MB of internal memory, and Nokia Life Tools. This handset will cost 45 Euros ($66 USD).

Last, but not least, it's the Nokia 2690. This candybar handset basically has everything the 2220 Slide has, but it features a microSD card slot (up to 8GB cards) and has EDGE connectivity. This handset will be available for 54 Euros ($80 USD).
