Latest Nokia Symbian Belle smartphone and new Nokia Luna Bluetooth Headset bring
NFC to mass market
Istanbul, Turkey and Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced the Nokia 603, a
colourful, affordable, no compromise smartphone preloaded with the latest apps
and featuring single-tap pairing, sharing and tag reading with NFC. Alongside
the Nokia 603, the daringly-designed Nokia Luna Bluetooth Headset completes the

upgrading from older products, particularly existing users of Nokia smartphones
who will welcome a device that offers all the latest technology and features in
a package that is still uniquely Nokia.
This latest smartphone exemplifies Nokia's belief that
affordability should not compromise the quality of the
experience. The Nokia 603 offers a seamless, compact design
that makes the most of the durable 3.5 inch ClearBlack,
scratch-resistant display, optimized for use in sunlight.
Exceeding expectations for its EUR 200 price-tag*, the Nokia
603 comes preloaded with Maps, the latest social networking
games and apps, and the ability to capture, edit and share
photographs, all with great graphics performance thanks to the
fast graphics processor in the device. The Nokia 603 also makes
NFC innovation accessible to more people with the ability to
share content, pair with accessories like the Nokia Luna
Bluetooth Headset, and unlock new experiences, such as unseen
levels on Angry Birds.

Rytila, Senior Vice President, Nokia. "Whatever the price-point, our aim is to
ensure all Nokia smartphones are crafted for use, have Nokia's trusted quality,
are better connected, and contain unexpected surprises like the ability to tap
to pair and share with NFC."
Featuring the latest Symbian Belle software, the Nokia 603 also benefits from up
to six customizable homescreens and dynamic live widgets for improved
personalization and prioritization of your favourite content.
