Today we got tipped off to a couple of new Nokia cell phones that appear to be destined for China. The first up is the 8208, a dual-slider feature phone that has a look similar to that of the Nokia N96. Unlike the N96, though, this 3G handset works on CDMA based EV-DO networks, like those run by Verizon and Sprint in the USA - though it does not appear to be destined for the US market.

The 8208 comes equipped for multimedia as well as navigation. The spec sheet claims that the 8208 should be able to provide users with up to 20 hours of music playback on a full charge, and the secondary slider function will provide users with access to dedicated music playback keys - just like on the N95. A 3.5mm audio jack will let users enjoy the music with their regular headphones, too. A 3 megapixel camera is also on-board, and a built-in GPS module will be on the device as well.

Other features of the 8208 include a 2.2" QVGA resolution display and a microSD memory card slot that can support cards as large as 8GB in capacity. There is an FM radio built-in, and the 8208 also sports a micro-USB connector. The phone is rated for up to 11 days of standby time or up to 4 hours of talk time.

The Nokia website where we found the information lists the 8208 as running "Nokia Series 40 spec" as its user interface. Considering that the 3608, found on the same site, lists itself as having a Series 40 "like" UI, we suspect that this isn't the normal S40 we have seen on other Nokia cell phones.

No word on when the 8208 will be officially announced, or when it will actually be available.
