LAS VEGAS, April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia further strengthened
its presence in the CDMA market today, announcing two new phones tailored
specifically for North American audiences. Welcome the Nokia 3606 and Nokia
1606 -- devices that combine sleek exterior design with feature
friendliness. With the addition of these two devices, Nokia now has CDMA
handsets supporting upcoming AWS (1700/2100 MHz) networks.
"The broad range of Nokia's product portfolio is unparalleled in the
mobile sphere globally, and now we're expanding our reach in the North
American market with the addition of two new CDMA devices," said Larry
Paulson, senior vice president, CDMA at Nokia. "We're pleased to
incorporate these compelling new offerings as the latest additions to the
range of choice for our consumers."
Designed for seekers of both style and simplicity, these CDMA phones
offer modern mobile functionality in an easy-to-use package.
In use, the Nokia 3606 comes to life -- quite literally -- with its
"hidden til lit" display effect. Optimized for music lovers, the phone's
dedicated music keys provide instant access to up to 4,000* songs (using an
optional 8GB microSD card), without having to even flip it open. In
addition to stereo Bluetooth compatibility, the Nokia 3606 has a 1.3
megapixel camera with a LED flash.
The Nokia 1606 is the ideal companion for simplicity enthusiasts
looking for a stylish device. Its fold-design, easy-access buttons and
bright display bring an ease to communications, along with the added
enjoyment of handsfree conversations, thanks to its built-in speakerphone.
The Nokia 1606 doubles as a flashlight too -- which will work even if the
device is powered off.
The Nokia 3606 and Nokia 1606 are expected to be available in third
quarter of 2008.
* Capacity based on 3 minutes, 45 seconds per song with 64 Kbps AAC+
encoding on the Nokia Music Manager.
