MUNICH, GERMANY AND FINLAND -- Nokia has introduced
the latest additions to its strong portfolio of phones,
with high-quality color displays, Java and MMS support
in the active, classic, fashion and premium categories,
as well as a mobile entry phone, a new messaging device,
and three new mobile enhancements. Nokia also announced
its intention to bring mobility to the games industry.
Nokia
will bring mobility to the games industry by offering
console quality games for a new mobile game-deck product
category. The rich games will be distributed on memory
cards. Mobile gaming interactivity will reach new levels
together with game optimized mobile devices that offer
consumers a truly rich, interactive mobile gaming experience.
It will introduce the first game optimized product in
the mobile game deck category, the Nokia N-Gage mobile
game deck, together with branded game titles from top
games publishers and developers in February 2003.
New
messaging device and five phones
The Nokia 6800, with its innovative design, is the first
messaging device optimized for efficient text input.
Mobile professionals can take advantage of its easy-to-use
full keyboard for personal information management (PIM)
and messaging or otherwise inputting text. It comes
with a high-quality color display, SyncML support, email
support, a stereo FM radio, as well as Java and MMS
support. The dual-band mobile phone is expected to start
shipping in the first quarter 2003 in Europe, Africa
and Asia.
The
Nokia 7250 is a svelte, fashion phone with an integrated
CIF camera. Boasting a full color display, support for
MMS and Java, it also incorporates a stereo FM radio
and tri-band functionality. It is expected to start
shipping in the first quarter 2003 globally.
The
Nokia 6100 is the world's smallest and lightest MMS-enabled
GPRS phone with a color display. It has a slim, streamlined
shape with a wide complement of features. The tri-band
phone supports GSM/GPRS 900/1,800/1,900MHz networks
where available. It is expected to start shipping before
the end of 2002.
The
Nokia 5100 combines wearability and durability with
tri-band functionality (EGSM 900/GSM 1,800/1,900MHz).
It includes a full color display, Java and MMS functionality,
and is wrapped in a modern design created to inspire
people with an active leisure lifestyle. Shipments are
scheduled to begin globally in the first quarter 2003.
The
Nokia 8910i links genuine materials with functionality
and elegance in inspired ways, continuing the successful
design path of its predecessors. Supporting MMS, Java,
Bluetooth, HSCSD and GPRS, the sleek titanium-cased
8910i is a premium phone. Deliveries of the 8910i (supporting
EGSM 900/1,800MHz) are expected to start in the first
quarter 2003 in European, African and Asian markets.
The
Nokia 2100 is the first mobile entry product, an affordable
and easy-to-use mobile phone for voice and text messaging
to cater to first time users in low mobile penetration
markets in Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific. It will
likely be commercially available during Q1 of 2003 in
Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific.
Innovative
mobile enhancements
The Nokia Observation Camera is a unique, standalone,
imaging device that allows users to request and receive
information remotely. This can be done by sending a
text message to the Observation Camera, which may be
installed in various places. When the Observation Camera
receives the request message, it takes an image and
sends it to the mobile phone number or an email address
defined in the message. The images are then sent as
an MMS. The Nokia Observation Camera operates within
the GSM 900/1,800MHz network coverage area in a GPRS
environment and is expected to start shipping in the
Q2 of 2003. It will be available in Europe, Africa and
Asia.
The
Nokia Music Stand enhancement allows the Nokia 7250
phone's built-in radio to be played through high-quality
stereo speakers, simply by placing the Nokia 7250 into
the stand. The Music Stand also works with the Nokia
6800 via its Pop-Port connector. It will be available
globally in the first quarter of 2003.
The
Nokia Camera Headset HS-1C is a combo easy-to-wear digital
camera and headset enhancement for compatible Nokia
phone models with the Nokia Pop-Port interface connector.
The Camera Headset will enable users to take digital
images and send those as MMS with text, image, and/or
audio content. The Camera Headset will start shipping
globally in December 2002.
