Nokia doesn’t release a great number of entry- and mid-range handsets in the folder-type form-factor. For some obscure reasons, only clamshells with their designs inherited from the Nokia 6101 are popular with those who prefer cheap Nokia-branded handsets.

Although, probably this is due to the fact that while the design in question is clumsy and the casing itself, frankly speaking, is quite bulky, altogether this shapes up this unique and easily recognized image of a Nokia’s clamshell.
The 6101’s design had turned out to be such a wild success that it had several reincarnations with only some slight changes made – the 6103 and then the 6125 followed the 6101 lead design-wise.
And now we have a chance to witness this design in a 2xxx-series device - the Nokia 2760. Compared to its predecessors the handset has dropped several millimeters off its profile, the front fascia’s design has changed a little bit with its new slopes on the edges of the upper flip, but still, it is the good old 6101. And it is the best way to go: anyone who walks into a store and sees this phone on a shelf will know it right away – it is Nokia.
