The phone itself isn’t much of a looker, and the feature list is smaller than the phone itself but pretty much any time Nokia announces a CDMA handset for US consumption is a landmark event, so excuse us while we play this up a bit. The just-announced 2135 is a basic candybar popularly priced is the terminology Nokia’s throwing around here with a 400-entry phonebook, 3.5 hours of talk time, 11 days of standby, integrated speakerphone, voice recorder, and that’s about it. Heck, we probably wouldn’t even bother mentioning it if it were a GSM release, but Nokia’s tumultuous relationship with Qualcomm makes this a pretty big deal. No word on whether Sprint or Verizon or someone else will be picking it up around here, but expect it to be available in the next month or two.
