The Nokia's new 1006 is a nice phone for anybody looking for a low-end CDMA handset. It will be available in the U.S. and Canada in either blue or silver, and will have such features as voice memos, speakerphone, and 500 entry phone book.

T-Mobile subscribers in the U.S. will soon be able to get the new Nokia 7510 Supernova clamshell, which was announced today as an exclusive for the carrier.

Besides looking good, the phone also features a 2Mpix camera with LED flash, 2.2" QVGA display, FM Radio, A-GPS, microSD slot, and supports 850/900/1800/1900MHz GSM/GRPS/EDGE networks.

• Grab downloads;
• Read the Buzz about celebrities;
• Get to Know the latest news;
• Browse the mobile net;
• Discover Nokia services and products

T-Mobile-branded Nokia 7510 Supernova has appeared at the company's website. It doesn't support AWS 3G, but it still comes with features like quad-band GSM/EDGE, QVGA display, 2Mpix camera with LED flash, microSD card expansion, and FM radio.

First mentioned back in November as part of the Nokia’s internal smartphone roadmap, the upcoming Nokia RM-412 Victoria has been approved by the FCC. However, even now we know almost nothing about it, except that it is a quad-band GSM / tri-band WCDMA (900/1900/2100 MHz) phone with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, powered by a 1000 mAh battery.

Official photos will be released on March 17th, but we'll surely get additional info before then.
