CeBIT is awash with new phone announcements but none so unexpected as the two new ‘locked’ phones from Nokia the 6124 and the 6650, locked to Vodafone and T-Mobile respectively.
Picking up where the 6120 Classic took off the 6124 (pictured above) features 2 megapixel camera, 2″ QVGA display, 3G enabled Symbian smartphone with microSD expansion. This model will ship in Q2 2008.
