Nokia has launched three new handsets namely Nokia 2730 classic, Nokia 2720 fold and Nokia 7020 that claim to bring the Internet to your fingertips. These three handsets are Internet enabled and work with the help of Nokia’s market services like Nokia Life Tools and Ovi Mail.
Nokia Life Tools service allows users to find information, access learning opportunities and also ensures entertainment. The Ovi Mail is a service that provides digital identity for many people.
The Nokia 2730 classic is said to be the most reasonably priced 3G phone that delivers faster and smoother access to the Internet. The Nokia 2720 fold is a compact phone with a mirror-effect design. It also enables users to access email, calendar and file sharing applications. The connectivity to email can be setup in three easy steps.
“The power of the internet is undeniable,” says Alex Lambeek, Vice President at Nokia. “We’ve seen mobile technologies catalyze the growth of the informal sector across the world, empowering local entrepreneurs and having an immediate and lasting impact on people’s lives. Services like Nokia Life Tools and Ovi Mail, combined with the mobile phones we’re launching today, bring powerful solutions that can be the gateway to knowledge, entertainment and people, without the need for a PC.”
The Nokia 7020 is a stylish phone, designed using light colors and metal finishes to portray a personalized style. The cover of the phone lights up on receiving a call or a message and also when the phone is tapped twice. This phone is capable of connecting to various social networking sites. It includes a 2 megapixel camera.
Lambeek concludes, “With our longstanding commitment to emerging markets, a Nokia customer can be confident that any product we offer meets a strict and consistent set of high-quality standards. This is particularly important in markets where technical assistance and repair shops are not easily accessible.”
The Nokia 2730 classic is expected to start shipping in the third quarter of this year and is priced at EUR 80 (approx Rs.5, 180). The Nokia 2720 fold comes with a price tag of EUR 55 (approx Rs.3, 578) and is believed to start shipping in the third quarter of this year.
