Nokia 3806

Nokia is strengthening its CDMA portfolio with the announcement of three new CDMA mobile devices: Nokia 6316s, Nokia 3806 and Nokia 1506. Together this new line-up highlights Nokia's continued commitment to CDMA as a major standard in key markets around the world. The Nokia 3806 mobile phone is a simple, GSM, candy bar phone that is currently available only in China and India. While Nokia has made no further announcements regarding the release of this CDMA device in the UK or the US, it is possible that we would see another GSM device with similar features and specifications. Nokia 3806 CDMA is a CDMA phone from Nokia with an elegant classic candybar design.

Size and Weight :
The Nokia 3806 measures 1.096*0.144*0.877 cm & weights 87.7 g. Its height 10.96 cm, depth 1.44 cm & width 8.77 cm.

Network and connectivity:
The newly announced Nokia 3806 CDMA handset clearly emphasizes Nokia’s continuing support to CDMA as the thriving mobile telephony standard that’s as much as force to reckon with GSM networks. China Telecoms, the leading mobile network provider in the whole of China, is expected to carry the handsets on a subscription plan. Its network type CDMA 1x , CDMA 800 , CDMA 2000. It also contains Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP.

Camera and Video:
The Nokia 3806 has a built-in digital camera of 2 mega pixels that can capture still images as well as perform video capture.

Memory and Display:
There’s a microSD slot to expand its equally modest internal memory but only up to 4 GB as per specification, though it may be able to use the large 8 MB microSD cards as most mobile phones can use SD and miniSD cards beyond what they had been specified to. It has the usual 2.2” LCD TFT display with QVGA resolution. It’s small, alright, but it gets the job done where it is needed most, and that’s about navigating and using the rich feature of the handset. While it can play you favourite video, that’s not it main mission.

Entertainment Features :
One stand-out feature of the Nokia 3806 is its pre-loaded Heath assistant application which is essentially a database that offers advice on health problem you may encounter in the course of using the handset such as stress-related issues. The health assistant's actual details are sketchy, but from what we gather, its main purpose is to keep track of daily stress levels. Now, since there is no single specific symptom of stress, we can only assume that the device is capable of keeping track of heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and other related biometrics. It would then compare daily data with what is the established value and determine if the user is stressed or not. In terms of colors available for the Nokia 3806, we’ve got piano black, pure white, and rose gold.
