Nokia supplies cdma2000 1X handsets to Reliance
SINGAPORE -- Nokia has begun deliveries of the cdma2000/1x
Nokia 2280 handsets to Reliance Infocomm. Based on a
Nokia-designed cdma2000/1x chipset, the handset combines
ease of use with style and personalisation options,
and is designed to cater to first time users who desire
a relevant feature set optimised for voice and text
messaging.
With
its soft-edge stylish design, white LED backlight, attractive
interchangeable Xpress-one colour covers, a calendar,
an alarm clock and downloadable ringtones, the Nokia
2280 offers a variety of lifestyle and personalisation
options. Other features include a built-in phonebook
that supports up to 250 entries, high-speed data support
and full text messaging capability including predictive
text input.
Sanjeev
Sharma, managing director, Nokia Mobile Phones India,
said: "Nokia views India as one of the fastest
growing markets in Asia Pacific and one of the potential
key markets for CDMA. We are pleased to be working closely
with Reliance Infocomm to offer affordable and localised
CDMA products like the Nokia 2280 to Indian consumers.
This development marks an exciting phase for Nokia toward
increasing our CDMA footprint in India, as well as for
other CDMA markets in the region. We see a great potential
for the continued growth of mobile telephony in India
where mobile penetration is relatively low. As the leading
brand in mobile communications in India, Nokia will
continue to deliver products which cater to the needs
and preferences of Indian consumers."
Robert
Andersson, senior vice president, Nokia Mobile Phones
-- Asia Pacific, added: "The features of the Nokia
2280 were designed to make the mobile voice experience
easy and enjoyable. It offers Reliance Infocomm subscribers
a phone with a relevant feature set that is affordable,
reliable and easy to use for their mobile communications.
With Nokia's established customer care network in India,
we are able to cater to all consumer enquiries and provide
quality customer service and support."
Amit
Khanna, official spokesperson, Reliance Infocomm, said:
"We are pleased to work with Nokia, a global mobile
communications leader that has been an established brand
name with a strong product portfolio and a track record
of world-class service. They have long been associated
with innovative and intuitive design, quality and reliability.
The addition of Nokia 2280 into the portfolio of phones
offered by Reliance IndiaMobile service is a significant
development, enabling us to bring substantial value
and choice to our customers."
