Nokia unveiled its first new generation color-screen mobile phone on Thursday, but it will not be on sale for a while and industry pundits criticized the lack of new features.
Model 6650 of the world's largest cellphone maker has a built-in camera, a large color screen and will work on both the current, second generation (2G) of GSM networks as well as the third generation (3G) WCDMA systems.
The 3G mobile networks have been designed for fast and efficient data communications such as a video phone calls, alongside better quality voice communications.
However, the features that Nokia showed at a media presentation in Helsinki on Thursday with local telecoms operator Sonera were similar to those already available on 2G networks, such as picture messaging and sending small clips of moving images.
