Nokia pushes the 6121, 6267, 3500 out in the middle of the road
Filed under: Cellphones
Get ready for a life more ordinary: Nokia just loosed three mid-range phones for all your middle management dreams. The 6267 (€240/$322) clamshell features dedicated music keys, a 2 megapixel camera with flash, 3G data, and up to 4GB of storage expansion you’ll have to locate yourself. The 6121 classic (€260/$349) on the left goes quadband GSM and WCDMA 2100 and “900” (we presume is a Nokia typo meaning 1900) with HSDPA data and packs in a couple of cameras topping out at 2 megapixels. Bringing up the tail is the budget 3500 classic (€135/$181) candybar which ships with an FM radio, 2 megapixel camera, and about 3 hours of talk time or 12 days of standby. All are expected to ship by Q3 in quiet fulfillment of your prosaic ambitions. Feign interest in the pics over at Engadget Mobile.

Dell oomphs the color with 24-inch 2407WFP-HC LCD
Filed under: Displays
Dell just upped the specs of their 24-inch 2407WFP LCD panel to now cover some 92% of the NTSC color space. The new 2407WFP-HC, like our 3007WFP-HC fave before it, features Dell’s TrueColor technology meant to enhance your video and graphic entertainment. Otherwise, the specs and feature appear to remain unchanged you know, if you live in Japan where this goes on sale tomorrow for ¥108,000 or around $875 when they make it to the US. Better yet, hey Dell, can we just skip this WCCFL backlit model in the US and go straight to an LED backlit version instead? We hear Samsung and LG.Philips have some decent panels available with far superior color rendering and longevity. Thanks.
