Nokia executives were pleased to share the news with attendees of NMC 2004 in
Monaco that the trucks are on the road and the Nokia 6630 WCDMA/EDGE device is
hitting the shelves... this device is expected to be the "hot" ticket this Christmas
season... it's on my list!
The Nokia 6630 imaging phone is the first Series 60 WCDMA/EDGE device from Nokia.
In addition to MMS, e-mail, Bluetooth, WAP 2.0 (XHTML) browsing, and Java" technology,
the device features an integrated 1.3-megapixel camera with a whopping 6x zoom.
The Nokia 6630 imaging phone is ideally suited to both business and mobile consumer
applications.
As "truckloads" of 6630's take to road it's expected that this device will be
the phone of choice for the Holliday season. Optimized for subscribers to high-speed
3G communication networks, this device will be the entry point for consumers of
interactive mobile entertainment services like Visual raido, 2-way video messaging,
and even Mobile TV. The extra bundles features targetted at PIM, Synchronization,
and security ensure that this device is also a practical enterprise solution for
the mobile workforce.
Developers are already delivering solutions that extend the functionality of
this device and there will no doubt be numerous applications hitting the streets
in the near future given the projected uptake of this "sporty" little device.
An example... popular developer Packetvideo (www.pv.com) has their PAcketvideo two-way video communicator solution whcih drives the
2-way video conferencing enabled via the 6630. This solution provides for the
synchronous two-way voice and video conversations and video conferencing with
picture-in-picture and call recording options.
