Nokia 6021
Discontinued 1st March 2005
The Nokia 6021 is a variation of the 6020
with one important enhancement - it has Bluetooth, and
one thing removed - this digital camera. These changes transform the handset from the fairly uninspiring 6020
to the business-friendly 6021.
Why is the addition of Bluetooth such a big deal?
Well, there's currently a gap in the market for low-end
Bluetooth phones suitable for businesses who want simple,
camera-free handsets to give to their staff.. a market
niche
that Nokia used to own with the Nokia 6310i which was discontinued
last year. So, the announcement of the 6201 is timely
because other manufacturers are moving in to the gap,
for example Motorola with the C390
handset.
The 6021 is a basic, but functional phone, with a
128x128 pixel display in 65,000 colours, tri-band GSM,
XHTML web browser, email client and PC synchronisation.
It's a fairly lightweight device at 88 grams, but talktime
is short at just 3 hours which isn't as good as the
Motorola C390 and might well be a critical weakness
with the Nokia 6021.
Still, the 6021 looks the part and it's not expensive
at it €200/£140 unsubsidised price tag. The Nokia 6021
should start to ship in the second quarter of 2005.
