It’s not quite as intriguing as any of the devices featured at Nokia World this morning, but Nokia and AT&T have just announced a new entry level S40 flip phone dubbed the Nokia Mural. Bearing a striking resemblance to Motorola W series phones of old, the Mural is a clam shell feature phone that would make 2002 proud. Spec highlights include 3G with HSDPA connectivity, integrated IM and email, dedicated external music buttons, a 2.2-inch QVGA internal display, a 2 megapixel camera and microSDHC support. It also sports a variety of customizable lighting features sure to prevent it from finding its way into the hands of anyone over 14 years of age. AT&T’s Nokia Mural will hit store shelves this coming Sunday, September 6th, and it will cost $49.99 after mail-in rebate on a 2-year contract.

    Why all the snide remarks in reviews of any new phone that doesn’t have a touchscreen or at least a QWERTY keypad?

    I’m not a technophobe or luddite. First and foremost I want a phone with good sound quality at both ends and good reception in weak signal areas. For web, music, and games, I have an iPod Touch. I’m fluent with T9 and can text on 12 keys nearly as fast as on a tiny QWERTY keyboard, and a large 12-key pad is much easier to dial calls on. It feels comfortable being held to my ear. And it weighs 1/2 to 1/3 of most smartphones, and is half the size. My pockets are too weighed down already.

    Why not just get an iPhone? I often use my iPod for parties and such where I dock my iPod to the speaker for hours at a time, and don’t want to lose use of my phone, or interrupt the music whenever the phone rings. And AT&T’s 3G coverage is scant where I live.

    I wish there were more phones like this one still available, and also wish they would pay more attention to good implementation of T9 texting (i.e. editable dictionary), camera/mic quality, large and richly featured contacts, large and savable incoming/outgoing call and text logs, threaded text messages, and such.

      HEAR!! HEAR!! Kudos for Lee!! I am not a 14 year old “tween” who lives to text. I just want a reliable phone. Hurray for 2002 [as in snide comment in review].

        Lee could not have put it better! Neither am I a teenager spending hours texting rather than actually using the phone. I’m a grandmother, own my company and could well afford whatever phone is available, but the Nokia Mural is my choice for my personal cell phone. I LIKE the style and the changing colors are a bit of whimsy. Yes, yes, I have a Blackberry too, but this little phone suits my needs and is what I use most of the time. It fits in my pocket, has terrific sound and reception and is easy to use.

        I’ve had many, many people of all ages admire the looks of the Nokia Mural and ask about it. This isn’t a teenage phone…….it’s a goodlooking, slender flip phone with plenty of features!
