Though we are seeing fewer Nokia CDMA phones on the market, the Nokia 2366i is set to make a splash on Verizon Wireless. The simple flip phone doesn't show off with flashy colors (the 2366i is dressed in basic black), but instead grabs your attention by its slim profile (just under 0.5 inches). The clamshell also includes GPS, Bluetooth, voice tagging, and a speakerphone. Though the handset packs in an FM radio, it's missing a music player and a camera, both of which are becoming standard features on most phones.

Ok, inovation in mobile phone industry is good, but this is really getting strange...the new D702iF FOMA clamshell from Mitsubishi. It seems innocent enough, but a few keystrokes allows the user to track his or her (hopefully her) menstrual cycle and be notified during the most fertile times of the month. Wonder if this will be a succes? :D
