Nokia 3608 for Chinese market spied on, spotted and spec’d

While there are certainly enough Nokia clamshell phones to go around for everybody, new, more interesting models are always welcome. Just like this new model for the Chinese market.

The Nokia 3608 is supposedly a new Nokia clamshell that’s destined for China, which will surprisingly rock CDMA instead of GSM, and possibly a dose of 3G EV-DO data.

From this lone photo that we have we can say that it looks sexy, but I don’t think the spec sheet would impress you just as much.

The specs can be anything but ground-breaking: 1.3 megapixel camera, support for GPS (most likely external), external touch sensitive music controls and support for up to 4GB microSD cards.

The user-interface is also touted as “Series 40 Nokia like UI” so this will apparently be a variant of the said ubiquitous UI. Talk time is billed at 3.5 hours max, while standby time can go up to 11 days.

Currently, there’s still no word on pricing or a release date, but unless you’re in China or headed there, I guess it wouldn’t really matter much now, would it?
