Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced the Nokia 6700 classic, the
Nokia 6303 classic and the Nokia 2700 classic, three devices that
build on the formula that made Nokia the world leader in mobile
phones. The new trio combines the functionality and user experience
required in today's hectic times, with premium designs and materials
that make them the most beautiful, well built and competitively
priced offerings available.
Leading the new collection is the Nokia 6700 classic, which continues
the legacy of one of the company's most successful products, the
Nokia 6300. "The Nokia 6300 raised the bar in terms of design and
premium materials when it arrived in 2006 and topped all sales
records for a mid-range mobile phone. The Nokia 6700 moves that bar
even higher with a beautiful, slim design and perfectly balanced
practicality," said Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President, Nokia.
"Our new arrival shares the same 'DNA' as its predecessor and we
believe that it will be one of our best selling devices in 2009,"
continued Petersen.
The Nokia 6700 combines smooth surfaces, rich materials and precisely
crafted parts with a full metal keymat which completes the premium
finish. Improving on all areas of its forerunner, the Nokia 6700
comes with a 5 megapixel camera, assisted GPS navigation with Nokia
Maps, and high speed data access meaning sharing images or video is
faster and easier than ever. At an estimated retail price of EUR 235,
before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia 6700 addresses the original
Nokia 6300 customer need and aspiration level perfectly.
At an estimated retail price of EUR 135, before taxes and subsidies,
the Nokia 6303 classic is ideal for people that see the current value
proposition of the Nokia 6300. The 3.2 megapixel camera comes to life
on the large 2.2 inch screen, and with pre-loaded Nokia Maps, the
Nokia 6303 combines a long list of features with excellent battery
performance. Added to everything else, people can plug any music
accessory into the standard 3.5 mm audio jack and have a fully
fledged mobile music player able to carry thousands of their favorite
tracks.
Rounding off the new arrivals is the Nokia 2700 classic which, at and
estimated price of EUR 65 before taxes and subsidies, is one of
Nokia's most affordable, full featured handsets. Offering up to 2GB
of storage via the memory card slot, the phone also has an integrated
digital music player and a 2.0 megapixel camera, making it equally
competent for imaging and music. "These features mean people can
save, access and share files in hundreds of formats via Nokia's
online service, Share on Ovi, or a number of other websites. The rich
features and simple interface mean that in many cases, the Nokia 2700
classic will provide its owner's first Internet experience,"
concluded Petersen. All three devices are expected to ship in the
second quarter of 2009.
