Nokia showed off three new phone models it will introduce over the next four months, including a candy bar and slide model, as well as a new phone that incorporates smoked glass into its design. The Nokia 6500 Classic is the company's thinnest phone yet at 9.5 millimeters, and is quad band and 3G capable, while a thicker slider version of the phone includes a 3.2 megapixel camera. The Classic will retail for $430 and the Slide $495, before carrier subsidies.
Also introduced was the Nokia 8600 Luna, the company's first phone to incorporate glass into the design. The phone is a slider model and incorporates stainless steel and smoked glass with features such as 3G support and a 2-megapixel camera. The Luna will retail for $940 before any subsidies, also making it one of Nokia's most expensive phones.
