As in the J230, the striking fact of the new J220 low end phone is the addition of a Nokia-style single-icon inteface, as an option on top of the traditional 9-icon desktop. Besides that, it has the same features as the J230 (GSM Dual, GPRS 4+1, 128x128 pixel 65k color STN screen, 500kb internal memory, integrated handsfree speaker, 32-tone polyphonics, theme support and exchangeable faceplates (Smooth Black and Sky Blue), but without the FM Radio, which makes it weigh a couple grams less (82.5) but doesn’t do any improvement in the external size (102 x 44 x 18 mm). All in all, the girl in that official photo (see inside) looks thrilled by the Nokia menu, design, screen, price. Also check the official product page.

Pictures have appeared of what is going to be unveiled on monday: lowest end models with the old interface (last used in the K300) that will hit the shelves after Christmas. The one with confirmed name (by photos of the box) is the 150€ Z300i: a Z200 successor with no major improvements other than slightly better (still 128x128 pixel STN) screen and integrated antenna, and the lack of Infrared, MP3 support, JAVA. What seems to be a T290 sucessor, called “J220″ (unconfirmed) by Mobile-review, will probably offer the same features as the J200/J210/J300 for less than 100€ unlocked, and default shortcut icons on the D-pad. With orange elements, but certainly not a Walkman branded phone, the “J230″ (unconfirmed name) offers an FM Radio on top of the mentioned standard features, and an interesting design at the back, at about 120€. These phones are not even using the new Fast Port connector so consider them an excuse to have something in operator’s low end clamshell portfolio, targeted to people who won’t even customize the default wallpaper. Thank you SE for making the effort of putting color screens in these ones, but tell us, will they have built-in calculator? Yes? Ohh that’s cool [Thanks bengan_fbk for posting it fast]
