Beijing, China - Nokia today announced the Nokia 6788, its first
device for TD-SCDMA - China's domestic 3G standard, at an event in
Beijing. The Nokia 6788 is the result of close collaboration between
Nokia and the world's largest mobile phone operator, China Mobile.
Speaking at the event, said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO of Nokia:
"Nokia sees TD-SCDMA as being central to the successful evolution of
3G in China, and so is fully committed to this 3G standard. With a
wide range of integrated China Mobile applications, the Nokia 6788
marks a new level of collaboration with China Mobile and offers
enriched experiences to China's 3G users. Nokia plans to introduce
more TD-SCDMA phones in the near future, further boosting the
development of this 3G standard in China."
"We are excited to see the launch of Nokia 6788," said Mr. Lu
Xiangdong, Vice President of China Mobile Communications Corporation.
"With extensive experience in the China market, Nokia will provide
Chinese consumers with TD-SCDMA solutions that are perfectly catered
to their needs. Such cooperation between the world's largest operator
and the world's leading mobile phone manufacturer will provide an
important boost to the development of TD-SCDMA in China."
The Nokia 6788 is specifically designed for China Mobile's network
and offers rich data services. It is an all-in-one device that
provides its users with faster Internet speeds and download times.
Featuring a 5-megapixel (2592 x1944) camera with a dual-LED flash, a
2.8" QVGA display, and the hugely-successful Symbian S60 platform,
the Nokia 6788 allows people to instantly share the things that
matter to them most.
Inspired by traditional Chinese furniture and architecture, the Nokia
6788 incorporates Chinese design elements including traditional
Chinese patterns on the back of the slide and the battery cover. The
Nokia 6788 is expected to become available at the end of December
2009.
About TD-SCDMA
TD-SCDMA (time division synchronous code division multiple access) is
a 3G mobile telephone standard developed by the China Academy of
Telecommunications Technology (CATT).
TD-SCDMA combines support for both circuit-switched data, such as
speech or video, and packet-switched data from the Internet. The
standard combines time division multiple access (TDMA) with an
adaptive, synchronous-mode code division multiple access (CDMA)
component.
