Nokia has a few phones targeted for those who just use their phones for two things: texting and talking. They were recently unveiled at the 3G World Congress in Hong Kong. These CDMA network phones, such as the Nokia 1265 and Nokia 1325 feature a number of features. These phones are so new that I can't find them on the Nokia company's website.

As you know, cell phones can pretty much do anything these days, with their Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and even cameras. However, did we originally buy these things so we would have…phones? In other words, there is still a crowd who still just want to use their cell as a phone, you know.

For the sake of this article, we'll discuss the Nokia 1325. (The Nokia 1265 has been previously discussed in another article on this site. And yes, I did cut and paste similar information from it onto this one.)

The new Nokia 1325 has "intuitive design, and easy-to-use functions". It appears to be ideal for first-time phone users in the Asia-Pacific region, China, Latin America, the Middle-East, and Africa. After all, cell phones really need to be distributed to these countries if we can ever hope to have a more integrated world.

One of the features is the handsfree speaker function, involving more than just one talker on a single phone call. The Nokia 1325 can also store up to 400 contacts and 150 messages, which means that the important messages are not deleted. It has a 90-second voice recorder, so you can take important verbal messages anywhere.

The Nokia 1325 has a 64K color screen (compare with the Nokia 1265, which is completely black and white), it also has a talk time of 3.5 hours, and a standby time of 6.5 days.

Look for it sometime in 2007, more than likely within the winter or spring season, especially in regions like China, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East, Africa, and Latin America.
