Nokia is to release three great new looking mobiles as part of its Classics range. The Nokia 6700 classic, Nokia 6303 classic and Nokia 2700 classic blend a mixture of premium materials and Nokia’s latest features to make some great looking mainstream devices.

The clincher for each phone though, is that it comes at a great price, making them sleek, stylish and affordable. Full details after the jump…

The Nokia 6700 classic is the flagship model of the range is set to be the new favourite of the Nokia 6300 crowd, and it is made from top-notch materials and available in black or silver and black. It looks great and Nokia is claiming it feels really solid in the hand.

The Nokia 6700 classic has a 2.2-inch QVGA screen, 5-megapixel camera, A-GPS navigation with Nokia Maps, and high speed data access meaning sharing images or video is faster and easier than ever. Weighing 116g, it comes with 150MB of internal memory, which can be added to using microSD cards. The cost is €235, whihc we make to be around £218 at the current exchange rate, which is pretty good value all round.

The Nokia 6303 classic is next up and delivers an estimated 17 day stand-by battery life, which is simply staggering from a phone that weighs a mere 96g in the hand. It has the same 2.2-inch QVGA screen but the stainless steel finish of the 6303 gives it a distinctive premium finish. It comes with a 3.2-megapixel auto focus camera and dual LED flash.

Designed with music in mind, the Nokia 6303 classic even has a 3.5mm audio jack, so you can fit your favourite headphones straight in. Pricing is an amazing €135, which is £125, making it pleasing on the wallet as well as the ears.

The last of the three Nokia phones on the launch pad is the Nokia 2700 classic, which at just €65 (£60) is something of an entry-level number but it still looks a knock-out phone. This Series 40 phone makes the most of its compact size by being an MP3 player, courtesy of the 3.5mm AV connector and even has support for up to 2GB of memory. It supports GPRS, Bluetooth and even comes with a 2-megapixel camera, making this a great value buy.

There is no definite date of when they'll hit the street, with the best guess being late spring. We'll bring you all the latest news as and when we get it. However, we'll be taking a closer look at each phone later today, so stay in-touch.
