Nokia 7600 launched
Nokia 7600 develops a new design statement for
mobility.
25 September 2003
 Launched
in conjunction with the latest 100%
Design exhibition in London, Nokia today announced the radically
shaped Nokia 7600 phone combining 3G capability with the latest
mobile imaging features in a futuristic exterior. Taking Nokia
design to a new level, the device incorporates a 65,000 color
screen as the heart and soul of its front face. The Nokia 7600
enables people to capture pictures and videos, send and receive
multimedia messages and mobile email and listen to music. With
this phone, people can also take advantage of the increased speed
of the next generation of mobile networks by watching good quality
live video content directly from their handsets. Weighing a mere
123 grams and measuring 87mm x 78 mm x 18.6 mm, the Nokia 7600
is one of the lightest and smallest GSM/WCDMA phones in the world.
Operating in GSM900/1800 as well as WCDMA (Wideband
Code Division Multiple Access) networks, the Nokia 7600 is expected
to be available in volume in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia-Pacific
in fourth quarter of 2003. WCDMA is a third-generation mobile
wireless technology offering much higher data speeds and better
quality of service to mobile and portable wireless devices than
current mobile networks.
Enhancing the exclusive design of the Nokia 7600,
a limited edition series of 1000 phones in special sales packages
will be available through a selection of high-quality lifestyle
shops in Europe, including Conran Shop (London), Asplunds (Stockholm),
Colette (Paris), Corso Como 10 (Milan), Vincon (Barcelona), Quartier
206 (Berlin), and Wittgenstein (Munich).
"Representing a unique marriage between technology
and design, the Nokia 7600 is not only an object that expresses
the personality of its owner, but it is also at the cutting edge
of mobile communications," says Juha Putkiranta, Senior Vice
President, Imaging Business Unit, Nokia Mobile Phones. "Once
again, Nokia is taking design to new levels while expanding our
portfolio of next generation devices. The Nokia 7600 allows people
to be their most creative while taking advantage of the quality
and flexibility of 3G networks, without compromising on the essential
basics of product size and battery life."
The Nokia 7600 phone opens a new door to the world
of multimedia communications. People can view pictures taken with
its VGA camera on an illuminated display with over 65,000 colors,
as well as capture video clips, with audio, of up to 2,5 minutes
each. In a WCDMA network, it is possible to send and receive video
clips and pictures even during a phone call. The device also allows
people to enjoy high-quality audiovisual content, such as real-time
music videos or television news, as they are downloaded via the
mobile Internet.
The integrated MP3/AAC music player can play up
to 50 minutes of near CD-quality music saved on the internal memory
of the device. Music and other content can be downloaded using
mobile services while on the move or locally from a compatible
PC via infrared, Bluetooth or USB connection. With the XHTML browser,
users can browse graphically rich mobile services. Other features
of the phone include polyphonic ring tones, support for Java applications
and a data connection speed of up to 384 kilobits per second in
WCDMA networks. The phone has talk time of up to 4 hours in GSM
networks and up to 2,9 hours in WCDMA, and stand-by time is up
to 12,5 days in both networks.
