Espoo, Finland - Nokia today unveiled a trio of mobile devices that
balance stunning and sophisticated looks with the latest in mobile
functionality. All three devices, the Nokia 6600 fold, the Nokia 6600
slide and the Nokia 3600 slide present a smooth, minimalist design
and an appealing array of easy-to-use features. The devices range in
price from 175 EUR to 275 EUR before taxes and subsidies and are
expected to start shipping during the third quarter of 2008.
Â
"There is a strong consumer demand for mobile handsets that blend
elegant looks with modern features," said Mikkel Drucker, Director,
Connect Devices. "Each of the three devices introduced today offers a
slightly different take on a core design language. We believe they
are both beautiful to use and beautiful to behold - and offer a range
of choice."
Â
Nokia 6600 fold - Smart and sophisticated looks
With one touch of a button, the elegant Nokia 6600 fold smoothly
opens to reveal a stunningly bright 2.13'' OLED screen displaying up
to 16 million colors. With its seamless design, the signature "smooth
back" of the Nokia 6600 fold creates a comfortable contour when open,
and remains subtle and compact when closed. The high-gloss surface of
the Nokia 6600 fold comes to life when tapped twice to "wake up" the
hidden outer display that reveals time, incoming messages, missed
calls and more. A double tap on the Nokia 6600 fold also snoozes
alerts and silences or rejects incoming phone calls.
Â
Â
With a set of contemporary mobile features that belie its compact
size, the Nokia 6600 fold is proof positive that beauty can be far
more than skin deep. 3G technology allows for fast and easy sharing
of pictures and videos snapped with the integrated 2 megapixel camera
with double LED flash or swift access to Internet services such as
Yahoo! Go or Flickr.
Â
The Nokia 6600 fold easily fits into a pocket or a handbag and has an
estimated retail price of 275 EUR excluding taxes and subsidies.
Â
Nokia 6600 slide - Compact and balanced
Being one of Nokia's smallest sliders to date, the Nokia 6600 slide
stays true to its name as it smoothly glides open in the hand. The
appearance of the Nokia 6600 slide with its glossy, high-quality
steel covers and aluminium center key constitute both understated
elegance as well as visual simplicity. Its well-balanced feature set
is created to be exciting and intuitive. Tapping the Nokia 6600 slide
twice conveniently indicates time, snoozes, alerts and silences or
rejects incoming phone calls.
Â
Â
The 3.2 megapixel camera takes high quality pictures and videos that
can be shared with others via Internet services or multimedia message
- directly from the photo menu. The large 2.2" QVGA display with 16
million colors also makes it easy to find your way around town,
thanks to the integrated Nokia Maps application which can be enhanced
with an optional Nokia Bluetooth GPS Module LD-4W and separate
navigation license. The slim, lightweight Nokia Bluetooth GPS Module
LD-4W features an innovative design that takes Bluetooth navigation
beyond the car and into the hands of urban trekkers and leisure
travelers.
Â
The Nokia 6600 slide has an estimated retail price of 250 EUR
excluding taxes and subsidies.
Â
Nokia 3600 slide - Contemporary combination
The Nokia 3600 slide aims to win hearts with a blend of tasteful
colors, materials and tactile finishes, and minds with a full range
of the latest features. Soft ceramic paint and metal combined with
high gloss surfaces and gradated colors to make the Nokia 3600 slide
beautiful to both touch and see. The Nokia 3600 slide is equally
beautiful to hear as it is the first Nokia product to feature
background noise cancellation. With a built-in music player the Nokia
3600 slide offers up to 3000 favorite songs on an optional 4 microSD
card.
Â
Â
The small, ergonomically shaped Nokia 3600 slide also delivers a 3.2
megapixel camera with autofocus and 2 LED flash and is excellent for
taking pictures or videos, even in dim lighting conditions. The
TV-out feature, which conveniently connects the Nokia 3600 slide to
most television sets, ensures quick and easy sharing of pictures and
videos.
Â
While the beauty of the Nokia 3600 slide will tell the world about
its owner, the pre-installed Nokia Maps application with an optional
Nokia Bluetooth GPS Module LD-4W will tell the owner a lot about the
world they are in. The Nokia Maps application holds more than 15
million points of interests, including restaurants, shops, hotels and
more.
Â
The Nokia 3600 slide has an estimated retail price of 175 EUR
excluding taxes and subsidies.
Â
Complementing the three handsets launched today, the new Nokia
Bluetooth Headset BH-803 echos the classic style of the handsets with
a sleek design and stainless steel details.An optional ear loop makes
it comfortable to wear, while the exceptional voice quality, touch
sensitive volume control and voice dialling activation make for easy
use of the Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-803.
