The Nokia 8208 we mentioned back in February will come out in the U.S. apparently, now that it has cleared FCC. So, yeah, we were wrong.

Nokia 8208 is a dual slider phone that a features 2.2″ screen, 3MP camera, FM radio, A-GPS receiver, and a microSD card slot. We still don’t know which carrier will offer this phone but we are guessing it will be Verizon so you’ll be locked with VZ Navigator.

A couple other features include bluetooth, and a 3.5mm audio jack – you can bring your music on a microSD card up to 16GB.

Nokia 7205 (code named Intrigue) was just announced by Verizon Wireless today. The clam shell device has a 2.2″ QVGA 240×320 internal display, a 1.9″ PMOLED external screen; which stays hidden until lit. Like we mentioned in the title Nokia 7205 does GPS navigation; thanks to the CDMA, 1X/EV–DO Rev. A chip inside which also integrates an A-GPS receiver. You don’t get to use your own GPS navigation system of course. You’ll have to use Verizon’s service called VZ Navigator which costs $10/month for unlimited usage.

Other features and specs of 7205 include a microSD card slot, blutooth, touch sensitive buttons, 2MP camera, and a media player.

Nokia 7205 is already available for only $129 after jumping through hoops and a 2 year contract. If you don’t want a contract; nor interested in chasing mail-in-rebate forms you can expect to pay $300 for the phone.
