Nokia isn't exactly renowned for exciting or attractive flip phones, but the Nokia 3710 Fold deserves a closer look. It is one of the first mobile phones, apart from wide range of Symbian smartphones, from Nokia that lets users access Ovi services and Ovi Store. This is significant news for people who can't afford a smartphone or just don't want to learn new tricks required for mastering a smartphone. Nokia has high ambitions in delivering Internet services via mobile phones to all people in all countries, not just select markets.

The Nokia 3710 Fold comes with preinstalled Maps application for navigation (more maps can be downloaded from Ovi), photo upload feature to Share service on Ovi, and access to Ovi Store for downloading additional applications. The 3710 Fold is built on a new release of Series 40 menu system that has improved graphics and Internet access capability.

The Nokia 3710 comes with GPS receiver, 3.2 megapixel digital camera with video recording, MP3 music player, stereo FM radio, Bluetooth, USB, Internet browser, and Internet email. Java and Flash Lite applications are compatible with the phone. The display inside the unit is 320x240 pixels in resolution and the small display on the cover is built from 160x128 pixels. The expected price for the quad-band GSM and dual-band WCDMA/UMTS 3G phone is 140 euros without taxes or subsidies.
