Nokia have today unveiled three new handsets – the touch screen 5530 ‘XpressMusic’, the E72 QWERTY business handset, and  the flip-style 3710 fold.

Following on from the 5800 XpressMusic device, the 5530 (right) is, like its predecessor, a music and media-orientated touch screen handset. Supporting GSM/EDGE networks, Wi-Fi – but not, disappointingly, 3G, you get up to 27 hours of music playback time, a 4 GB memnory card and a rather nifty 2.9 inch widescreen touch display.

Sporting direct access to popular social media sites such as Facebook and MySpace, the device also has a ‘people carousel’ feature, which gives you easy access to the latest updates (phone calls, emails, photos, social media statuses) of up to 20 people. There’s also integrated media sharing on the device, with services such as Ovi Share, Flickr and VOX just a few clicks away.

Shipping in Q3 2009, the 5530 is expected to sell at EUR 199 before taxes and operator subsidies.

From music to email, and pleasure to business, next we turn our attention to the E72 (pictured left). Building on the success of the E71 – Nokia’s best selling QWERTY device to date, Nokia have taken the best bits from the E71, some other features from the E75, and thrown in a few upgrades like a 5-megapixel camera, 3.5mm headphone jack and a new optical navigation key.

In addition to these developments Nokia have also integrated instant messaging direct into the home screen. The E72 supports Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi (amongst others) straight out the box, using Nokia’s Messaging service. There’s also onboard clients for Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes, plus improved on-device email setup for popular personal mail services like Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail and others.

The Nokia E72 is expected to begin shipping late in the third quarter of 2009 at an estimated retail price of EUR 350 before taxes and subsidies.

Last – but by no means least – there’s the Nokia 3710 fold (right). A flip-phone device, the 3710 has all the basic features you’d expect from a mobile. Sporting a 3.2 megapixel camera, Ovi photo sharing, and an on-board GPS, Nokia claim the handset “boasts extreme simplicity without compromising functionality”.

And that’s about it really – a basic handset with an average camera – with satnav thrown in for good measure. Designed more for looks than features, the fold is firmly aimed at the younger ‘style-conscious’ audience, and comes in a fetching pink finish. Expected retail price is EUR 140 before taxes and subsidies when it ships in Q4 2009.
