Both are 3G capable but highly focused on facilitating messaging and the various social networks. The Nokia 6700 slide, is a Symbian device whereas the other one that is the Nokia 7230 runs on S40. We will go through both of these one by one and try to give you a synopsis of what’s ahead of you.
NOKIA 6700

Nokia 6700 slide is equipped with a decent 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and LED flash. Many people are already saying that this is one camera that has the potential of becoming one of the best 5 MP cameras out there.

Nokia 6700 slide will be initially available in aluminum, pink, petrol-blue, red, lime and purple color versions. A quick look at the rest of the specs shows quad-band GSM, tri-band 3G (two versions) with HSDPA and HSUPA (up to 10.2 Mbps an 2Mbps respectively), 2.2" QVGA screen, size and weight of 95.2 x 46 x 15.9 mm and 110 grams, Bluetooth 2.1, microUSB port, microSD slot for cards up to 16GB (2GB included) and a 860mAh battery that lasts up to 29 hours of music playback. It's a shame that it has a 2.5mm audio jack though.

Let’s come towards Nokia 7230 now which is a slider aiming to hit the consumers who are essentially on a budget. Its size is around 98mm x 48mm x 14,8mm, weight around 100 grams and has a 2.4" QVGA screen. It's got a 3.2MP fixed-focus camera and easy sharing on portals like Ovi Share, Flickr and Facebook. There's support for Nokia Messaging too.

It is being said that these phones will be available for public sometime in the first quarter of 2010. The Nokia 6700 slide is expected to be sold at a price of 160 euro (239 US dollars) and the Nokia 7230 for 100 euro (149 US dollars).
