Nokia 2300 introduced
Nokia 2300 adds fun and style to entry level mobile
phones
28 August 2003
 Nokia today expanded its
portfolio of mobile devices with the introduction of the Nokia
2300, an entry-level phone optimized for voice and messaging,
as well as fun and personalization. Targeted specifically at young-minded,
fun-loving people in new growth markets such as China, India and
Russia, the Nokia 2300 offers users a range of Xpress-on (TM)
cover options, built-in polyphonic ring tones, an FM radio, and
games in a modern and expressive style.
The new phone, launched at events in Moscow, Russia,
and New Delhi, India, operates on GSM 900/1800 networks. It is
planned to be available in Asia Pacific markets during the 4th
quarter of 2003, and for Europe, Africa and Middle-East during
the 1st quarter of 2004.
"With our entry products, Nokia aims to expand
the mobile market using innovative solutions to enable more affordable
connectivity in markets with a relatively low cellular penetration,"
says Juha Pinomaa, Director, Product Marketing & Business
Development, Mobile Entry Products, Nokia Mobile Phones. "The
Nokia 2300 phone is a perfect example of how we are addressing
the needs of first time buyers with an affordable and attractive
package. We are also working with operators in key entry markets
to create solutions for profitable and affordable voice and messaging
services."
In addition to voice calls and text messaging, the
Nokia 2300 phone features an alarm clock, a calculator, an FM
radio, three games and an internal hands-free speaker for group
communication. With the dual-earpiece headset included in the
sales package, users can listen to the radio or make hands-free
calls comfortably on the go. The Nokia 2300 offers a new 4-way
scroll with a Navi (TM) key making messaging and gaming easy and
fast. Right scrolling provides a shortcut to the menus or options
lists, allowing users to access features quickly or accomplish
selected tasks without going through the complete menu sequence.
The trendy Nokia 2300 provides customers with multiple
choices for fun and personalization. Users can tailor the phone
to fit their mood and style with a number of optional Xpress-on
(TM) color covers. The selection of embedded polyphonic ring tones
introduces the latest mobile trends to entry-level phones. Users
can also download cool graphics to their phone.
To help users monitor their mobile usage, the Nokia
2300 offers an in-call timer for checking the duration of a call,
as well as an SMS counter to keep track of the number of text
messages sent or received. Other messaging features include concatenated
text messages, picture messaging and SMS chat. The Nokia 2300
is also the first Nokia phone to enable users to filter out junk
text messages from unwanted numbers.
The Nokia 2300 weighs 92 grams, and offers up to
4,5 hours of talk-time and up to 400 hours of stand-by time.
