Kicking off their 2010 offerings, Nokia has just announced the Nokia 6700 Slide and Nokia 7230.

The Nokia 6700 comes with a 2.2-inch QVGA display, 5-megpiaxel autofocus camera, Bluetooth 2.1, HSDPA connectivity, Symbian OS, and will ship with a 2GB microSD card as part of the standard package. Though it bears the same name as the Nokia 6700 classic, the 6700 Slide boasts of an original design completely different form its namesake. It will be available in a variety of colors (pink, purple, red, petrol blue, lime, and aluminum), and will retail for €160 or $239 in US currency.

The Nokia 7230, meanwhile, is a little more modest featuring a 2.4-inch QVGA display, 3.2-megapixel camera, and 3G connectivity albeit also coming with a 2GB memory card. This slider will be available in two variants (hot pink and graphite), and is much cheaper priced at just €100 or $150 in the greenback.

Here’s a promotional video of these two upcoming Nokia phones:

Both slider phones are expected to hit the market during the first quarter of 2010 though it’s still not clear where else aside from Europe these two will become available. If you’re underwhelmed by these phones (and we can’t blame you if you are), worry not as we’re pretty certain that this is just the appetizer for greater things to come.
