At the Nokia World 2007 event held in Amsterdam Nokia announced today the Nokia 3110 Evolve handset. It's a rather strange ofering as it doesn't really offer any evolution as compared to the Nokia 3110 classic, which was announced back in February and is already available. It looks a lot like the Nokia 3500 classic and it offers the same hardware characteristics as the Nokia 3110 classic. The body panels of the new Nokia 3110 Evolve however are said to be produced from bio-sourced materials, which is a heads up to ecology-minded users.
The new Nokia 3110 Evolve is a phone with “bio-covers made from more then 50% more renewable material, it’s presented in a small package made of 60% recycled content and comes with Nokia’s most energy efficient charger yet, using 94% less energy than the Energy Star requirements.“
Otherwise Nokia 3110 Evolve is a pretty basic and probably cheap Series 40 handset with:
Tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 connectivity, GPRS/EGPRS
1.3 mpx camera with 8x digital zoom
128×160, 262K color display
FM stereo radio MP3 Player
MicroSD memory card slot
USB, Bluetooth stereo and EDR Up to 16 days stand-by and 3.5 hrs talk time
Dimensions: 108.5×45.715/6 mm
Weight: 87 g
If you look beneath the marketing speak for Nokia 3110 Evolve, some new, a bit more sustainable cover plastics/materials, better box made from recycled paper and 10 or 20% more efficient charger does not make environmental revolution.
But every little bit helps. And it gives an interesting new marketing angle for otherwise old, boring and basic phone.
