There's been lots of things going on with cell phones lately, and I suppose that's not a surprise since the holidays will soon be upon us. This week, we've seen a bunch of stuff going on. First, Sprint Power Vision launched, then we told you about the ultra-cool Blackberry 8700c, and now Nokia is announcing three new, slick phones. Americans will want to watch out for the Nokia N80 slider phone ($600 list) with high-speed UMTS (Universal Mobile Telephone System) that will work with Cingular's upcoming high-speed HSDPA (High-speed data packet access) network. The N80 also boasts a 3MP camera, a camcorder for shooting video, Bluetooth, and USB 2. And that's not even the exciting part: the N80 acts as a Universal Plug-n-Play in which you can transfer music, photos, and video to your computer. Nokia's other two releases will most likely be seen outside the U.S.: The N92 ($700)--a digital TV phone that is also a camcorder and a mini video player, and the N71 ($475)--a flip-phone with a 2MP camera, MP3/AAC/WMA music player, and full Web browser. Find out when these phones are slated to be released in this report.
