US
NY : Nokia unveiled one of the industry's first mobile handsets designed
to support 1900MHz UMTS networks expected to go online in the Americas
during 2006.
In
addition to enabling 3G services, the new Nokia 6282 phone features
a 2.2 inch, 320x240 pixel QVGA display, a 1 megapixel camera, FM radio,
digital music player with hot-swappable miniSD card support, Bluetooth
technology and an eye-catching sliding design.
The
Nokia 6282 phone (GSM 850/1900/1800/UMTS 1900 MHz) is expected to
be available during the first quarter of 2006 in markets offering
1900MHz UMTS service.
New UMTS networks supported by the Nokia 6282 phone enable customers
to access a number of exciting 3G services. Some of these services
include streaming multimedia audio and video content and the rapid
upload and download of large files - including downloadable games
and video, MP3 or AAC ringtones, or over-the-air synchronization of
calendar, contact and to-do information using the built-in SyncML
client.
"With the introduction of the Nokia 6282 phone, we are helping
to make the promise of high-speed UMTS services in the Americas a
reality," said Kai Oistamo, senior vice president, Mobile Phones,
Nokia. "Although it weighs barely 4 ounces, the Nokia 6282 phone
is among the most advanced wireless devices available in this market.
Without sacrificing size, style or performance, this sleek new device
puts a world of possibilities into the hands of consumers in the Americas."
Featuring the Series 40 Platform 3rd Edition, the Nokia 6282 phone
offers users an intuitive way to access the power of this new device.
While supporting the latest messaging, browsing, music and video standards,
this new interface also takes full advantage of the Nokia 6282 phone's
QVGA display by using an 'Active Standby Mode', which allows the idle
screen to keep owners informed of calendar and to-do items and to
provide quick access to the most-used applications.
The stylish slide design of the Nokia 6282 phone keeps the extra-large
display in sight at all times, yet allows it to remain ultra-compact
while in the closed position. Additionally, by positioning the imaging
controls on the exterior, the Nokia 6282 quickly converts to a conventionally-oriented
imaging device that allows 1 megapixel still images and 15 frame-per-second
VGA video content to be captured by using the screen as a horizontal
viewfinder.
