Nokia has major commitments with North American carriers? We have heard news of a whole overabundance of Espoo-sourced handsets programmed to hit AT&T in the upcoming months, and a only some in finicky caught our eye. Most remarkably, the Mako is different with anything we have ever seen made by Nokia, more often than not gratitude to a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard handset which doesn’t in reality look like any accessible hardware.

It works on the similar S60 3.2-based platform as the 6650 and E71x, featuring a 2.4-inch QVGA display, dual-band HSDPA, Video Share, AGPS, 2 megapixel camera, and 128MB of internal storage memory with microSD expansion. Miserably this news is going to prove a dream killer for a few peoples; we suppose it’s only having a 2.5mm headphone jack that is a step back for multimedia support.

The Thresher is an ultra-glossy slider which does not look like any gadget formally proclaimed in other markets. It matches its Series 40 guts with Grouper that was the codename allocated to the 6750 Mural flip we just saw hit the FCC. Both gadgets are HSDPA and AGPS; the Grouper makes the same with a 2 megapixel camera, while the Thresher is 3.2 MP along with an integrated flash. The Thresher is coming up in September and the Grouper in July, but now we shall watch whether they keep their promises or not.

As a final point, the Snapper flip is a lower-end handset which we could visualize substituting the 6555, missing the Grouper’s fashion however still now staying sturdy with triband HSDPA, AGPS, Bluetooth 2.1, and a 2 megapixel camera. This mobile phone we may be able use in August this year.
