The first thing you’ll notice about the Nokia 3710 fold is that it boasts of a renewed user interface with simple, intuitive menus that focus on the essentials. The new Photo Gallery makes it easy to organize photos, create albums or slideshows, or attach photos to contacts. Various services like Nokia Maps and the Ovi Store can be accessed with just a flick of the thumb. And with its internal GPS, the mobile phone can be customized to suit the user’s needs, be it pedestrian navigation or social networking.

Finally, the 3.2 megapixel camera takes clear photos that can be shared online or stored on a micro-SD card. With an SD card, you can expand the phone’s memory up to 8GB! Expect to see the Nokia 3710 in stores by the third quarter of 2009.

I am right now in Singapore for the Nokia Connection 2009 and I am just overwhelmed at the number of Nokia models surrounding me. I will write more on these Nokia models but for now, let me introduce you to the new Nokia smartphones we can expect over the next couple of months.

Nokia released several new smart phones as part of their commitment to deliver compelling mobile solutions that can be personalized by users. The event began with a keynote presentation by Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer Mary McDowell, who described Nokia’s vision of a world where people are “empowered to share and connect with what matters to them through highly personalized and contextually relevant solutions.”

To make this vision a reality, Nokia provides technology, services, and new devices to Singapore and its neighbors. Vice President of Sales in the SEAP region Chris Carr says that the emerging markets of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are already accessing the internet from mobile phones – and Nokia played a pivotal role in this development.

Here is a sneak preview of the new Nokia smartphones you can expect over the next couple of months.

The latest in the E-series lineup is the new Nokia E72, a full QWERTY smartphone that brings a rich mobile email and IM experience for those who want to connected and productive in their personal and professional lives.

Once the account is set up, device owners can connect to their favorite instant messaging accounts like Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, and Ovi. The Nokia E72 will be shipping in the third quarter of 2009.
