There is another model Nokia 6585 launched too as per Ad in TOI. It looks like a variant of 6225. Check out.

yeah it is in the ad in HT as well, but then 6012 is not shown in that ad.

The 2112 is priced too steeply. Why would any1 buy the 2112 when they can buy a colour phone by paying a few hundred extra?

Anyone checked 6585 model ?

I checked Nokia site and feature wise it looks much better than 6012 or 3105. Mainly Infrared connectivity (PC Suite), 500 contacts and FM Radio and all legendary user friendly Nokia features.

Looks like this is CDMA equivalent of 6610 plus voice dialing. I would prefer this over camera phones any time.

Anyone has info on pricing ? If it's around 7500/- this should be better buy.
