Nokia has introduced the 6700 classic Gold Edition, a luxury phone built for users who want class with their mobile device. Based on the 6700 classic, a phone that launched in January, this version features a stainless steel body with an 18-karat gold finish and classic-looking white inlays. Custom wallpapers have been designed to match the phone's luxurious design.

The 6700 features 3G data connectivity, a 5.0 megapixel camera, and GPS connectivity for use with Nokia Maps. It has not been verified at this time, but it is likely that the phone also features the specifications of the original 6700 classic - based on S40 6th Edition, the original 6700 classic includes Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR and a 2.2-inch QVGA display, as well. An 8GB microSD card and a leather carrying case come included with the Gold Edition.

The Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition is expected to go on sale in select markets during the first quarter of 2010 for 370 EUR (US$545) before taxes and subsidies.
