Let’s tear our eyes away from all that befuddling high-tech gadgetry and take a look at the new Nokia 1508, a new low-end cell phone from the Finnish manufacturer. This CDMA cell phone is a slim, lightweight, and simple candybar that has all the makings of being your second communication device to go with your high-end feature-heavy mobile. It can store up to 500 contacts and 400 messages, no small feat for a device in it range. The phone also has a built-in speaker and an integrated FM radio to keep you occupied during those boring commutes. The Nokia 1508 can also record audio for up to three minutes, ideal for saving those short thought bursts that you tend to forget later. An option to connect to the internet via cable keeps you in the loop and ensures that you are connected, if not always.

The Nokia 1508 will be available in the third quarter of 2008 in select CDMA markets and considering its utilitarian features, this one will definitely win over the budget-wary customers.
