The world at large simply adores Nokia phones. Any new one garners praises and accolades. So, are we ready for 2008’s new Nokia, as revealed at the Nokia World 2007?

Nokia has already brought out one 3110, as a Classic. For the new year, this phone will Evolve, as the name implies. However, looking at the specifications, one would be somewhat puzzled as to the absence of upgrades or new features. The Evolve is still triband GSM, with HSCSD, EDGE and GPRS Class 10 speeds. No 3G, though. Nor Wifi, only Bluetooth v2.0. Surprising, infrared is still making a show here.

Calling features are par for the course, with the usual calling, SMS, MMS and emailing. There’s even Push to Talk, together with handsfree. While most new phones have already evolved their lens resolution to beyond 1MP, camera evolution here is stuck at 1.3MP. It’s good that it can still play music and FM.

The Evolve here is actually about the environment. The casing is made from environment-friendly and renewable material. You can even re-cycle the packing. The best evolution about this phone is its power-saving. It can tell when the battery is full, and then its charger simply stops consuming any more energy.
