Nokia has announced a new CDMA handset for non-US markets. The Nokia 8208 features 16GB of memory, media playback, hands free dialing and assign photos to contacts, and is expected to go on sale sometime this quarter.

The European variant of the recently announced Nokia 5630 XpressMusic smartphone has passed through the FCC today. Unfortunately, pricing and availability details weren't given.

Features:

• Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz);
• Dual-band 3G (900/2100MHz) support;
• Wi-Fi;
• 3.2Mpix camera;
• microSD card slot;
• Dedicated music playback keys;
• 3.

Another leaked handset, the Nokia N86 has been officially announced today. It should be available in Q2 of 2009 for around 375 Euros before subsidies.

Some of the features:

• 8Mpix camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual-LED flash;
• GPS;
• QVGA OLED display;
• 8GB of internal memory;
• Geotagging and video recording;

Ok, this time it's not official: the unannounced Nokia N86 has surfaced today. Judging by the photos, it has a slider form-factor, and comes with an 8Mpix camera with a Xenon flash and Card Zeiss optics, but apparently doesn't include a touchscreen.

Stay tuned for more details.

The new Nokia 6710 Navigator as seen from the name mainly focuses on GPS navigation. One of its more useful features is the pedestrian mode. Nokia Maps will be able interact with OVI to sync content, as well as user created routes.

The mapping data for Nokia Maps is kept on the memory card, so there won't be a necessity to download data when you’re moving around.

Another Nokia smartphone presented today at the MWC show was the E55. It is pretty similar to the E75, only without the sliding QWERTY keyboard. However, QWERTY layout is still present, but in a form similar to the one on the BlackBerry Pearl, where each key comes with 2 alphabetical letters printed on it. Add a low-res QVGA display, and the 470 Euro price tag will seem expensive to you.

As expected, Nokia's E75 was also present today at the MWC 2009. Heh, like anyone doubted... The unlocked version will cost 549 Euros when it’s released. Features of the device include:

• 2.4" display (320x240);
• QWERTY Slider, S60 OS;
• 50MB of internal data, 4GB flashcard included (16GB max);
• HSDPA, Wi-Fi b/g;
• 3.

The unknown handset shown in the video below at 00:19 is apparently the rumored keyboard-less N97 called Ivalo. It was first spotted several months ago in the leaked Nokia road map, and now we've seen it live. Hit this link to watch the video.

Specifications are the fame as on the original N97:

• 3.5" touchscreen;
• 32GB internal memory;
• A-GPS;
