3G phones coming to market

The first wave of phones aimed at using Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) service--the fastest network capability yet and a new technology in the US telecom industry--will hit the shelves in early 2006 from Nokia. The vendor has announced it will be selling three phones designed for third-generation wireless networks, including its first handset for the UMTS-based 3G networks being rolled out in the US from Cingular. The 3G Nokia 6282 features a slide-open body with a 2.2-inch, display, digital camera, Bluetooth capability, FM radio and a digital music player. The other two handsets, models 6233 and 6234, both boast 2-megapixel cameras, built-in stereo speakers and, of course, digital music players.
