After last week's spy shots, today Nokia officially announced the latest addition to the L'Amour Collection, the Nokia 7088. What the phone brings new to this Collection is that its the first CDMA L'AMour phone. And it also looks great, being is very similar to the one presented in the leaked photos. The phone will feature an integrated video recorder, a camera with LED flash, a 128 x 160 pixel color display, a two-way speakerphone, voice recorder and calendar feature.

The Nokia 7088 makes a striking first impression, with attention drawn immediately to its jewel-like select key and carefully sculpted directional pad set into a metallic frame. Bold leather-inspired textures are found on front and back surfaces of the Nokia 7088, enhancing the tactile experience, and further accentuating the artful balance between technology and nature that is the hallmark of the L'Amour Collection's design ethos.

Another phone announced today by Nokia is the 5700 Xpress Music 3G phone based on Symbian S60 OS. The phone has a twist design, like the 3250 and by changing the lower part's position you can get smartphone, music player, digital camera or a video call. I have to admit the phone looks really nice. Its looks, combined with the 2-megapixel camera, the 99 MB memory (including a 64 MB SD card that can go up to 2 GB) and the dedicated audio chip makes this handset a very interesting choice.

Still, I can't understand why Nokia continues to use these colors, red/black/blue with white, because I hate it, looks like a damn prototype to me. Leaving aside this minus, the Nokia 5700 Xpress Music is really great and will be priced at an estimated EUR 350 before taxes and subsidies. It will hit market during the second quarter of 2007.

Today, Nokia announced the Nokia 5070 budget phone. The features are normal for a low cost phone, as expected, and include a VGA camera, FM Radio, MP3 ringtones. The phone comes with a set of stereo headset and 4 MB of memory, which is hilarious. A good thing is that you can connect to the internet and send quick voice messages via Nokia Xpress Audio Messaging.

The Nokia 5070, which will be priced at about 100 EUR ($130) will be available in two colors, red and blue and will hit the market in the second quarter of 2007.

Well this is interesting, a Sony Ericsson slider Walkman phone. Probably they thought its time to set a new shape to their Walkman phone. And to be honest they made it pretty cool, especially that they made it street style. What does that mean? Well, first we were confused too. Street style means that, beside playing music, taking and storing pictures or playing games, you can also do something different with your Sony Ericsson W580, like track steps, count burnt calories and monitor your running speed/distance/time, with its built-in applications.

At only 14 mm width, the Sony Ericsson W580 comes with a 512 MB Micro Memory Card, that enables you to store up to 470 tracks in eAAC+ codec, a 2-megapixel camera, a 2.0” QVGA 262K TFT screen.

The Sony Ericsson W580 Walkman phone is a 2.5G, Quad Band EDGE device(850/900/1800/1900) and will be available later this year.

Chinese company Hi-Tech Wealth has presented their integrated solar panel solution during the CeBiT 2007. Unlike the solar panel charger, the integrated solar panel is built on the phone directly. You can just place the phone under the sun to earn your talk time when needed. The unit presented by Hi-Tech Wealth is able to give you 25 mins of talk time after a 40 mins of sun bath. That's not bad consider the sun is free and prey the battery doesn't run out at night!

Features of the S116 includes a 1.3 megapixel camera, a memory card slot, and a 320 x 240 QVGA displayApparently the phone will be available in China next month.
