Siemens SX1 symbian mobile phoneSiemens launches
the SX1 with powerful mix of features and applications packed into
unique design 21 February 2003 
Siemens
Information and Communication Mobile (Siemens mobile) launched an instant
design classic today with its next generation mobile phone, the SX1,
at the 3GSM World Congress 2003 in Cannes. A unique keypad arrangement,
outstanding design and the world’s most powerful suite of features
and applications for its size set the SX1 apart from other handsets
- perfect for the most demanding mobile phone consumers The SX1
has strips of keys built in to each side of the phone, instead of an
ordinary keypad, to give it a sleek shape. This design innovation also
shifts the large, 64K color high-resolution screen into the center
of the device without compromising overall size as the SX1 only weighs
110 grams. Embedded discreetly underneath the screen are central navigation
keys which help make the features of the SX1 even easier to navigate
in the usual portrait mode or, if the application supports it, in landscape
mode. Powerful as it is beautiful, the SX1 hosts the ultimate
entertainment and business package. Features packed into a slender
99cm volume frame include: built-in video player, camcorder, music
player and FM radio; rich unlimited gaming supported by Series60 or
Java (J2ME); full set of business applications directly comparable
to a normal PDA, including local and wireless synch. By combining the
latest entertainment and business technology, the SX1 is perfect for
those who ‘work hard, play harder’. Peter Zapf, President
of Mobile Phones within the Siemens Information and Communication Mobile
Group, said: “This is another exciting world first for Siemens
mobile. A unique design with the power to match its beauty, we believe
the SX1 will build on the huge success of the SL45i, our breakthrough
mobile MP3 phone. The SX1 is perfect for truly demanding consumers
who want to make the most of 2.5G services like video MMS and over-the-air
(OTA) downloads of applications and content. It is the new standard
for next generation phones.” Built on the open-source Symbian
platform, the SX1 features a tailored Siemens mobile version of the
Series 60 interface and application platform. This enables ease of
use and also lets consumers personalize their phones with a huge choice
of downloadable content and applications. The SX1 will be available
throughout Europe and Asia within the first half of 2003. Buy
