The Lumia 800 and the Lumia 710 mark the beginning of Nokia's fightback against Apple's iPhone and rivals using Google's Android software.
Nokia's new boss, Stephen Elop, had previously warned that the company was stuck on a "burning platform".
In an unusual move for the company, it will start shipping the Lumia 800 range almost immediately and hit the shops in France, Germany, Italy, UK, Spain and the Netherlands in November.
The firm also announced four new basic phones.ory Cellan-Jones looks at Nokia's new Lumia 800 smartphone
The brightly coloured handsets are pitched at developing countries.
Mr Elop said the phones would blur the boundaries between feature phones and smart phones, bringing the internet "to the next billion people".
The new range will be called Asha, a name that clearly identifies Nokia's target market: the name is derived from the Hindi word for "hope".
Although the phones will be relatively cheap, they will sport features like touch screens, 5 mega pixel cameras, bright screens, 32GB storage for music and long battery life.
