February 14th – 3GSM World Congress 2005, CANNES, FRANCE - China's leading mobile
handset manufacturer Lenovo unveiled its newly-developed smart phone P930 at the
3GSM World Congress 2005.
The P930 is Lenovo’s first smart phone for the Chinese market that adopts Nokia's
Series 60 Platform, the world's leading smart phone platform. The P930 features
an appealing clamshell design, an easy to use pen-input interface in addition
to normal keypad input, the former being the most popular on the Chinese market,
a 1.3 megapixel camera with LED flash, video recording capability, Bluetooth connectivity,
a mini USB and a removable SD/MMC memory card. The phone supports a series of
applications, such as GPS navigation, Net-TV, and several others. GPS navigation
enables P930 users to access maps of over 100 cities across China. It also provides
the Net-TV application, which allows owners to choose and watch several CCTV (China
Central Television) channels while on the move. What’s more, the P930 supports
the IGRS standard (Intelligent Grouping and Resource Sharing), that makes devices
discover and connect to each other automatically,
The P930, Lenovo's first mobile handset using the Symbian OS and Series 60 Platform,
will be available during 2005.
“The P930 will be Lenovo’s flagship smart phone with impressive and compelling
features and applications that are designed to attract demanding consumers who
require only the best,” said Mr. Zeng Guozhang, the General Manager in charge
of the product department at Lenovo mobile. “Together, the Series 60 Platform
and Symbian OS form a very powerful base for Lenovo’s latest innovation in its
smart phone portfolio.”

“The P930 by Lenovo shows how a Series 60 licensee can add a vast amount of unique
features and functions to the platform and develop products that truly stand out
from the competition. Lenovo is a pioneer in the Chinese smart phone market and
the P930 with the Series 60 Platform adheres to Lenovo’s mission of designing
innovative, best-of-breed products for its customers,” said Antti Vasara, Vice
President, Mobile Software Sales and Marketing, Nokia.
