Europe
: During the CeBIT 2005 show, Nokia reinforced its vision of mobility
with its latest innovations for 3G WCDMA, multimedia and enterprise.
In addition to its range of smart multimedia handsets and enterprise
products, Nokia demonstrated for the first time the recently announced
Nokia 6230i megapixel cameraphone, the Nokia 6021 and the Nokia 6030,
as well as a new line of mobile holders and a car kit solution.
Nokia demonstrated its commitment to 3G with its recently launched 3G
imaging smartphone, the Nokia 6680 ( inset above )
and its EDGE-enabled variant, the Nokia 6681. Based on the leading Series
60 platform, the Nokia 6680 imaging smartphone is optimized for visual
sharing, boasting two cameras as well as an in-built flash. Both models
support the Nokia XpressPrint printing solution, enabling easy printing
with a wide range of compatible printers and photo kiosks. With the
smartphone market expected to exceed 50 million units in 2005, Nokia
will continue to expand its portfolio of smart multimedia products to
deliver the benefits of digital convergence to consumers worldwide.
Reinforcing the importance of music as the next big development in mobile
multimedia and a key driver for mobile growth, one of the highlights
was the new mobile music solution unveiled by Nokia and Loudeye for
operators last month. It enables operators to offer comprehensive branded
mobile music services for their customers, and Nokia announced O2 Germany
as the first operator customer. Nokia had also announced collaboration
with Microsoft to make it easier for consumers to enjoy digital music
whenever and wherever they want, without having to worry about digital
formats.
Another strategic Nokia product showcased at CeBIT 2005 was the new
Nokia 6101 fold camera phone. Featuring a classic, sophisticated design,
the Nokia 6101 is Nokia's first mobile phone, which provides operators
with exclusive operator designs and an extensive range of software customization
options. The introduction of the Nokia 6101 reinforces the role of customization
in mobile devices, a growing industry trend and key driver of mobile
growth.
Nokia also demonstrated how businesses could improve their performance
through extended mobility. With business-optimized devices such as the
Nokia 9300 enterprise smartphone and Nokia 9500 Communicator, together
with a portfolio of mobile business-optimized gateways for corporate
networks, companies can realize the true benefits of mobility. At the
Business Mobility showcase, wireless email, Internet and a range of
virtual private network products, including SSL VPN, IP VPN, and firewalls
were featured. Nokia's offerings with leading application vendors provide
choice and ensure the best user experience for companies mobilizing
their workforces.
The Nokia showcase at CeBIT 2005 is located at the Messe Hannover, Hall
26, E68.
