Nokia
announces 6 new products and strong
support for MMS
Company
launches its first Multimedia Messaging
terminal at Nokia Mobile Internet
Conference in Barcelona.
Nokia today introduced a Multimedia
Messaging phone, a new active category
phone, a new model for its classic
category, as well as three new Bluetooth
accessories at the Nokia hosted Mobile
Internet Conference in Barcelona, Spain.
Speaking at the press conference in
Barcelona, Jorma Ollila, Chairman and
CEO of Nokia, said:
"Today's launch signifies a
remarkable breakthrough in this
industry. History has proven that
advances in the way we communicate can
give rise to entirely new communication
cultures. Much like the transition from
radio to TV, the evolution from text
messaging to multi-media messaging marks
a whole new era of mobile
communications, combining images with
sound and text. By the end of 2002, we
expect more than half of all Nokia
terminals will be MMS capable, and in
2003, MMS will be an integral feature in
all new Nokia phones."
Two new phone categories and a new
business look:
The Nokia 7650 is the company's first
product in its new imaging category.
Featuring an inbuilt digital camera,
multimedia messaging (MMS)
functionality, an enhanced user
interface, and large color display, the
Nokia 7650 opens up new perspectives in
personal communications. With MMS, users
can combine audio-, graphic-, text- and
imaging content in one message and send
it to another multimedia messaging
capable terminal or to the recipient's
email address. Deliveries of the Nokia
7650 will begin in Europe and Asia in
the second quarter, 2002.
Nokia also announced a new active mobile
phone category with the Nokia 5210
phone. Specifically designed for people
with active lifestyles, the Nokia 5210
represents a totally new concept in
Nokia's portfolio, incorporating
innovative materials, wearability
options and improved durability.
Features include a radically new
removable shell design, a thermometer,
and digital clock. Shipments are
scheduled to begin in the first quarter,
2002.
The third phone unveiled by the company
was the Nokia 6510, introducing a new
design for the classic category. The
Nokia 6510, which comes with a mobile
wallet, encompasses a balanced set of
features desired from a business phone,
as well as the possibility to
personalize the phone look with
Xpress-on(TM) color covers. In addition,
it has an FM radio. The Nokia 6510 is
scheduled to start shipping in the first
quarter, 2002.
