Nokia Connection 2005, Helsinki, Finland - Today, at the Nokia Connection events
held in Helsinki and Singapore, Nokia presented highlights of its technology roadmap,
introducing a vision of mobility that emphasizes "human technology."
During the two-day event, the common theme of delivering optimized user experience
resonated throughout the technology presentations, new product introductions and
application and services demonstrations. In addition to introducing seven new
mobile phones, Nokia outlined its multiradio business strategy and showcased advanced
development tools for the growing Forum Nokia community.
"A 'consumer-first mindset' remains at the core of everything we do at Nokia.
Whether it's a designer sketching a new mobile phone concept or a hardware engineer
designing complex technology enablers such as multiradio or video sharing , the
consumer experience is always at the forefront," said Pertti Korhonen, Chief Technology
Officer, Nokia. "In order to achieve truly global appeal, mobile products and
services must be intuitive and easy to use - something we refer to as very human
technology. With this goal in mind, Nokia continues to drive global co-operation
with technology specialists, designers, operators and customers, including Forum
Nokia and Series 60 Product Creation Communities, to ensure that technology, usability
and design work together in harmony to achieve the ultimate user experience.
"Simple Pleasures": Seven new handsets emphasize ease-of-use
In response to the growing consumer demand for simplicity, Nokia today unveiled
seven new mobile phones that emphasize ease-of-use and intuitive design. The new
products bolster Nokia's growing WCDMA/GSM and CDMA portfolio - mobile phones
targeted to consumers looking for familiar technologies and stylish designs to
complement their everyday lifestyle.
The new products introduced today included the Nokia 6280, a sliding 3G model
equipped with both a 2-megapixel and a VGA camera, ideal for real time video sharing
and two-way video calls. The Nokia 6270 features a 2-megapixel camera with flash
as well as an easy-to-use music player that supports a variety of digital sound
formats. The Nokia 6111 packs a lot of features in a small, sliding package. This
petite model is highlighted by its megapixel camera, which intuitively works in
either landscape or portrait mode. The Nokia 6060 demonstrates that a sophisticated
design is available at all price points, including this attractive fold format.
For CDMA markets, Nokia unveiled the Nokia 6265, a sophisticated 2-megapixel
cameraphone in a modern sliding design. In addition, two entry-level CDMA models
were unveiled: the folding Nokia 2255 and the Nokia 2125, a traditional monoblock
design.
A number of significant technology milestones were announced at Nokia Connection,
including the new Series 60 browser, which Nokia will build on open source components.
It will be the default browser of the world leading smartphone software, the Series
60 Platform. Nokia has cumulatively shipped 25 million Series 60 enabled devices
by end of May 2005.
Creating new opportunities for mobile application development, Forum Nokia announced
the Series 40 Platform 3rd Edition, which opens the door to rich multimedia applications
in the high-volume device range.
Mobile Enterprise Voice Offers Greater Freedom in or Out of the Office
With voice being the largest enterprise application when it comes to spending
and numbers of users, Enterprise Solutions today introduced a comprehensive strategy
to significantly increase the options businesses have to optimize their voice
services. As part of the industry-leading collaborations announced today, Nokia
will offer a suite of advanced enterprise voice mobility options, from intelligent
call routing to voice over IP connectivity between mobile devices and company
PBXs. Intelligent call handling, assistant answered lines, server-based call logging
and recording are just a few examples of what will be possible in a converged
fixed-mobile enterprise voice service. Employees also benefit from a single, simple
solution that offers greater freedom in or out of the office.
WiMAX added to future technology portfolio
At Nokia Connection 2005, Nokia outlined its multiradio strategy, including attractive
broadband wireless solutions for operators and consumers. 3GPP technologies, including
WCDMA (UMTS), and its evolved versions HSDPA, HSUPA and Internet-HSPA remain at
the core of Nokia's technology portfolio, along with the development of 3.9G.
Furthermore, Nokia will add WiMAX to its future technology portfolio, providing
high capacity wireless broadband connectivity in metropolitan areas.
Additionally, Nokia introduced a comprehensive set of network services and solutions
initiatives, simplifying critical issues such as deployment of new services and
charging. The Nokia Unified Charging Suite allows operators to differentiate themselves
from the competition by applying different charging methods for different services.
This also benefits the consumer, who can benefit from different payment methods
and cost control mechanisms. Nokia Service Delivery Framework offers a holistic
conceptual approach for operator looking to seize new service offering opportunities
in a rapid and cost-efficient way.
