Nokia has announced the release of the Nokia 6730 smartphone exclusive to the Vodafone network in Europe [Techtree Reported]

The 6730 classic is a new S60-powered phone and comes preloaded with a select range of software. It’s been initially offered as an upgrade to the existing mid-range S40 phones like the 6500c or 6300. The phone is available in the standard white Vodafone livery.

The phone has been optimized for mobile Internet and navigation services and comes loaded with software that provides access to turn-by-turn directions, a point-of-interest database and yellow pages information. On the hardware front, the 6730c sports a 3.2megapixel camera, a 2.2-inch screen. HSDPA and HSUPA connectivity and 50MB of internal memory, expandable up to 16GB. It comes with a 2.5mm audio jack so if you were about to get this and connect your own headphones, thats not going to happen!

The phone is slated to be released on Vodafone Europe later this month.
