Nokia
today unveiled the Nokia 3300 music phone for digital entertainment.
Designed specifically for enjoying music, the Nokia 3300 music phone
incorporates a portable digital music player (MP3/AAC), a stereo FM
radio, a digital recorder, advanced ring tones for an authentic music-like
experience and enhanced messaging and games features in a single high
quality, fun package. The Nokia 3300 is expected to start shipping
in 2nd quarter 2003 in Europe and Africa and Asia Pacific, working
on GSM 900/1800 bands. "Today's consumers
place great value on the entertainment features of their phones. Nokia
is meeting these expectations with a total music offering, and the
Nokia 3300 connects our consumers with music and much more. It has
been designed to let consumers enjoy their music when they want,"
said Ilkka Raiskinen, Senior Vice President, Entertainment and Media
Business Unit, Nokia Mobile Phones. "With real music-like True
Tones in the Nokia 3300, we are pleased to introduce a new breakthrough
in the evolution of ring tones, completing the high-quality music offering
of this phone." Music and communication are
at the heart of the Nokia 3300. The new device features a portable
MP3/AAC digital music player with integrated loudspeaker as well as
a stereo FM radio and a digital recorder. The new music key puts the
music services just one click away, making access to the music player
and FM stereo radio easy and fast. Users can also easily transfer music
files from a compatible PC to the Nokia 3300 with the new Nokia Audio
Manager PC software. To experience the sound quality, the user can
enjoy preloaded music samples as well as preloaded ring tones, both
polyphonic and new True Tones. The Nokia 3300 is
the first mobile phone for the GSM markets supporting True Tones, which
provide ring tones with real music, allowing users to have songs, nature
sounds, special effects and engine sounds as ring tones to alert them
of an incoming call. The True Tones will be part of Nokia's wide range
of mobile services for music when the Nokia 3300 phone is commercially
available. They are based on Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB)
technology that has been selected by the Third Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) as the Wideband codec for GSM and 3rd generation wireless
WCDMA applications. While the Nokia 3300 phone is
designed with music in mind, it also enables consumers to play games,
send multimedia messages to compatible devices and connect to the mobile
services in the same device. The game controls and other action keys
of the device are designed for two-hand use, and with the 128 x 128
pixel color display, they offer ease of play. There are also preloaded
JavaTM games in the Nokia 3300 music phone for immediate enjoyment.
While playing the games, the user can conveniently listen to the music
player or the stereo FM radio through the stereo headset. Nokia
provided services and content include ring tones, a wide range of color
graphics, featuring music artists, cartoons and movies, and downloadable
games. The Nokia 3300 users can download more True Tones and also polyphonic
tones, wallpapers, operator logos and games to their phones from Nokia
services and content offering from their local Nokia website. A link
to Nokia Tones, Graphics and Games is also available in the Nokia 3300
phone. The Nokia 3300 music phone is equipped with
a Pop-Port(TM) connector enabling the use of a USB cable for easy transfer
of music files, and has a 64 MB MMC memory card as standard in the
sales package. For an additional measure of fun and personalization,
the Nokia 3300 comes with a selection of optional Xpress-on(TM) color
covers. The Nokia 3300 has a volume of 115 cc and weighs 125 grams.
