Hanover, Germany - March 11, 2003 - Nokia, the global leader in mobility, today unveiled three new terminals, three enhancement products for mobile devices, and several connectivity solutions for business and home environments at the CeBIT2003 trade show. Nokia also published co-operation announcements with T-Mobile and KPN Mobile.
In addition to Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) capability, Java (TM) support and Bluetooth, Nokia's introductions include a broad selection of features such as EDGE connectivity, presence, integrated camera, enhanced user interfaces, music services and more.
At the Nokia press conference at CeBIT, Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President, Nokia Mobile Phones, emphasized the company's leading role in designing state-of-the-art offerings for specific customer categories:
"Mobile phones are not purchased just for their voice functionality any more. Messaging, business applications, entertainment and other value-added features, infused with a strong brand experience, are the most compelling attractions. Standardized open technologies create an essential platform for the industry and for Nokia to fully leverage the market potential of mobility," Mr. Vanjoki said. "This is concretely illustrated for example in KPN's decision to make i-mode content available on open standards starting with the Nokia 3650 imaging phone."
Visualizing mobile business
The Nokia 6220, an EDGE-enabled mobile phone, is designed to become a core part of the mobile office. Business professionals will experience enriched messaging with an integrated camera, high-quality colour display, multimedia messaging capability and a mobile email client. With EDGE, downloads on the Nokia 6220 are more than twice as fast as with GPRS. The presence-enhanced contacts of the Nokia 6220 let users conveniently publish their availability, intentions and whereabouts to colleagues, family and friends. The tri-band (GSM/EDGE 900/1800/1900) Nokia 6220 is expected to start shipping in Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific regions in the third quarter of 2003.
The Nokia 810 (GSM900/1800) car phone allows comfortable voice and data communications in vehicles such as company cars, vans and trucks. The new Navi(TM) wheel, a separate display, voice dialing and voice command capabilities, together with support for Bluetooth technology, enable easy use of the Nokia 810. Two people can use the memory resources of the device separately with a single SIM card, which is convenient for those who share the use of a company vehicle. The Nokia 810, which supports both High Speed Data as well as GPRS, is scheduled to arrive in the third quarter of 2003, in Europe, Africa, and select markets in Asia-Pacific.
The new capabilities of the Nokia One Mobile Connectivity Service easily extend corporate applications to employees in the field. The service allows interaction, responses and alerts on mobile devices, eliminating delays in mission-critical production and business processes. The Nokia One Mobile Connectivity Service efficiently connects corporations and their mobile employees using mobile phones, smart phones, PDAs, or a landline, over multiple access methods including voice, SMS, web and WAP.
Furthermore, Nokia and T-Mobile have today announced co-operation in order to provide corporate customers with solutions that combine Nokia's leading range of business terminals and T-Mobile's mobile data services. The co-operation will start by bundling the Nokia D211 multimode radio card with T-Mobile's "Communication Centre", allowing business professionals on the move to connect easily and securely via W-LAN or GPRS to their corporate information resources. With initial deployment in Germany, the collaboration will expand to include all of T-Mobile's European subsidiaries.
Enriched consumer experience
The Nokia 3300 music phone is aimed at people who like to enjoy digital entertainment when they want. The ultimate music experience is provided through an integrated music player (MP3/AAC), an FM stereo radio and a digital recorder. The music key on the device allows one-click access to music services, while a USB connection enables the fast transfer of music files from the PC to the device. Additionally, the Nokia 3300 lets consumers play games, send multimedia messages to compatible terminals and connect to mobile services, all from the same device. The Nokia 3300 music phone working on GSM 900/1800 frequency bands, is scheduled for shipments during 2nd quarter 2003 in Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific.
Nokia's collection of new enhancements takes advantage of key technologies such as Bluetooth, MMS and imaging, thus enriching consumers' multimedia messaging experience. With the Nokia Digital Pen, users can write notes, draw diagrams or colorful pictures. These can be transferred via Bluetooth technology to a compatible phone, and then forwarded as an MMS or e-mail. The Nokia Image Viewer, connected to a compatible TV or video projector, allows people to send images wirelessly from a compatible phone and view and share them on a large screen at work and home. The Nokia Add-on Lens can be attached to a Nokia 3650 phone camera, enabling sharp pictures at a very close range.
In addition, Nokia and KPN Mobile announced today that KPN Mobile will offer i-mode (TM) content through the Nokia 3650 mobile phone. KPN Mobile's customers in Germany (E-Plus), the Netherlands and Belgium (BASE) will be able to access i-mode content via a standards based XHTML browser phone in GSM/GPRS networks. The Nokia 3650, based on the Series 60 Platform with a large colour display, built in camera and Java(TM) capability, is the first GSM handset from Nokia with an XHMTL browser that will give access to KPN Mobile's i-mode content.
Milestones in enterprise and home connectivity
The Nokia 32 is a GSM terminal that lowers costs for calls between fixed and mobile networks in enterprise environments. When connected to a private branch exchange, the Nokia 32 enables routing incoming and outgoing calls via GSM networks, replacing current fixed telephone lines and establishing new lines quickly for a minimal investment. The device can connect to a PC with support for both HSCSD and GPRS data transmission. It also enables Short Message Service (SMS), as well as conference calling and call forwarding. Operating in the GSM 850/1900 or the GSM 900/1800 bands, the Nokia 32 is planned to be available in the second quarter, 2003.
The Nokia Mediamasters 150 S, 150 T and 230 T are digital television receivers that provide easy access to the growing amount of free-to-air digital television and radio channels without a subscription. Furthermore, the Nokia Mediamaster 230 T also allows subscribing to various Pay TV operators. Additionally, with the Nokia Mediamaster 230 T, consumers can use their televisions to view, share, and store photos captured with a Bluetooth version 1.1 enabled imaging phone, such as the Nokia 7650. The Nokia Mediamasters 150 S, 150 T and 230 T all adhere to Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) standards and will be available in Europe in the second quarter, 2003.
The Nokia DWSx Dispatcher Workstation is a new solution for ultimate security for public safety communications, enabling the dispatching of secret field operations. Nokia DWSx allows the use of end-to-end encrypted (e2ee) radio terminals in the full extent of the Nokia TETRA System.
