Barcelona, Spain - Nokia today unveiled the Ovi Store: the world's
first content and application store to personalize content according
to a person's social connections and physical location. Nokia also
made it easier than ever to get email on your phone with the launch
of the Nokia E75 and Nokia E55, which open up access to the world's
email inboxes and feature Nokia's most advanced email solutions to
date. Additionally, Nokia introduced the latest arrival in its
Navigator line, the Nokia 6710 Navigator, and the Nokia 6720 classic,
which build on the Nokia heritage of mid-range phones that deliver
top-of-the-range experiences.
"These solutions will make it easier for people to find and
prioritize the things that really matter to them in their personal
and professional lives, through cool new applications, improved
mobile navigation and one-touch email access," said Nokia President
and CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo. "In the current economic climate
everyone is taking a closer look at the costs and benefits of
technology. The devices and services announced today reflect Nokia's
approach to delivering solutions that have a big impact at an
affordable price, without the need to compromise or cut corners."
"We believe that with our global scale and our drive to personalize
the Internet through services like 'Social Location,' we are
well-positioned to set new benchmarks in innovation and enhanced
Internet services that will benefit everyone," said Kallasvuo.
Ovi Store opens for business
Commercially open in May, the Ovi Store will offer people targeted
content based on their social connections and physical location, or
what Nokia calls 'Social Location'. The Ovi Store provides developers
with a dynamic and potentially lucrative opportunity to offer Nokia's
global consumer base new, useful and exciting applications. Content
providers will be able to get their work into the store via a single
channel, Publish.Ovi.com, which will be open for content from
February 16. Building an open ecosystem of developers and consumers
lies at the heart of Nokia's vision of transforming the Internet into
a deeply personalized experience. With a passionate community of 3.5
million developers in Forum Nokia creating hundreds of thousands of
apps, the Ovi Store is expected to be brimming with exciting new
content by summertime.
Nokia E75 and Nokia E55 deliver efficiency in email
The Nokia E75 boast full desktop email functionality with a slide out
QWERTY keyboard and simple three-step email setup and is the first
device to ship with Nokia Messaging, a service that opens up the
world's leading consumer email accounts including Yahoo, Gmail and
Hotmail. Direct access to over 90 percent of corporate inboxes is
also possible with Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler.
Making messaging as compact as possible, the Nokia E55 comes with a
new compact QWERTY keyboard and has a standby time of nearly a month,
as well as all of the features one expects from a high end
smartphone.
The best navigation experience possible
The Nokia 6710 Navigator provides everything one would expect from a
stand alone GPS device, with all the benefits of a converged mobile
device. The solution provided by the new Navigator includes real time
'drive and walk' navigation, full regional maps, and hardware
elements like a dedicated navigator key, touch area for zooming and a
large display. Another new arrival is the Nokia 6720 classic, which
offers a great voice experience with new active noise cancellation
and a form factor that fits to your face.
