NEW ORLEANS - Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today introduced the tri-mode CDMA2000 1X Nokia 3586i phone, the newest member of Nokia's CDMA handset lineup, loaded with an appealing blend of the newest features, exciting styling and a price point designed for mass-market appeal. A full-color screen, Java(TM) technology and high-speed data support allow the Nokia 3586i phone to satisfy the most tech-savvy customers while polyphonic MIDI ring tone support, graphical caller ID icons and optional Xpress-on(TM) electroluminsecent active covers indulge the desire for expression and individuality. Shipments of the GPS-enabled Nokia 3586i phone are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2003.
Nokia 3586i phone owners can use the CDMA2000 1X high-speed data support in conjunction with the built- in wireless Internet browser to quickly access rich, full color online content. They can also use the optional USB data cable with a PC, and easily utilize compatible desktop applications on the go. The USB data cable also can be used to synchronize the Nokia 3586i phone's integrated 500-entry phonebook and calendar with a desktop personal information manager.
"Nokia understands that delivering value means to offer a product that exceeds the expectations of the customer," says Soren Petersen, senior vice president and general manager of Nokia's CDMA business unit. "The Nokia 3586i phone is engineered to deliver the newest must-have features like a color screen, high-speed data access and Java(TM) technology support."
While the 96 x 65 pixel color screen is certain to draw attention, a number of customization features allow Nokia 3586i phone owners to make a distinct fashion statement. A new line of optional Xpress-on(TM) covers includes cutting-edge electroluminescent graphic panels that illuminate in sync with any of the included 30 ring tones or 10 custom downloadable ring tones. The Nokia 3586i phone can even respond to the power of an individual voice with voice dialing support for up to 25 numbers and voice memo recording.
