The new models are based on the Nokia 6101. Mobile phone manufacturer Nokia announced on Thursday updates for two of its popular clamshell handsets. The major addition to the mid-range fold-style phones is Bluetooth capability.

The Nokia 6102i is an update of the Nokia 6102 model, while the new Nokia 6103 is a revision of the Nokia 6101, and features a updated design. Both models feature VGA cameras, dual color screens, integrated FM radios, and support for MIDI and MP3 ring tones.

The Nokia 6102i and Nokia 6103 phones will be available in a GSM 900/1800/1900 version primarily for markets in Europe, Africa and Asia while a GSM 850/1800/1900 version will be available primarily for markets in the Americas. Both phones are planned to be available during the first quarter of 2006 and are expected to retail for approximately 200 euros, before applicable taxes or subsidies.

Nokia offers a wide array of Bluetooth technology-enabled enhancements such as wireless car kits and wireless headsets as part of its line of mobile enhancements. On Thursday, Nokia also announced three new wireless headsets.
