Nokia launches new low-cost camera phone with some flashy new features.

Nokia introduces with the Nokia 3220 Light Messaging. By waving the Nokia 3220 from side to side, the LED lights of the Nokia Xpress-on Fun Shell light up to "write" a message that appears to float in mid-air.
See it in action in a video on Nokia's site or refer to the photo below to get a sense on how this Light Messaging looks. It seems it only works with short words like Fun, Dance and so on.

The Nokia 3220 also features transparent Nokia Xpress-On grips, which pulsate with light effects to indicate calls, messages, and in sync with the beat of ringtones.

The Nokia 3220 can also be used as a joystick enabled through motion sensors. Two motion enabled games are included: SwampRacer, a high-octane airboat racing game, and AirExpress, where you fly freely around an exotic archipelago world.

The 3220 has a VGA Camera. The phone has a low unsubsidized price of around 250 EUR and is targeted obviously at young consumers.
More details in Press-Release and at the Nokia 3220 Product Page.
