Espoo, Finland - Nokia has announced three new handsets - the Nokia C3, Nokia C6
and Nokia E5 - designed to put better messaging and social networking tools in
the hands of more people around the world, at affordable prices. These new
handsets feature full QWERTY keyboards, and enable access to a range of
different email accounts, IM communities and social networks.
"Our messaging device range is very successful," said Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia's
Head of Markets. "Services that provide easy access to the world's consumer and
corporate email and instant messaging are really popular on our QWERTY
smartphones such as the Nokia E71 and Nokia E63. People want the best messaging
and social networking experience on an affordable device, whether it's sending a
simple text or instant message, an email, or a direct message from their Twitter
account. The Nokia C3, Nokia C6 and Nokia E5 are made for just that."
The Nokia C3 is the first device to bring a full QWERTY keyboard to the world's
most popular mobile phone platform - Series 40 - and is the first in the range
to enable access to social networks directly on the homescreen. People can view,
comment, update their status and share pictures to their favorite social
networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
At an estimated price of EUR 90, before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia C3 also
comes with Ovi Mail and Ovi Chat, meaning first time users can set up email and
chat accounts straight from the device, without the need for a PC. Other notable
features are the Wi-Fi connectivity, a two megapixel camera, rich color 2.4 inch
screen and support for up to an 8GB memory card. The Nokia C3 is expected to be
available in the second quarter of 2010 in a variety of appealing colors,
including golden white, slate grey and hot pink.
The Nokia C6 is a Symbian-based smartphone combining the benefits of a 3.2 inch
touch screen with a full slide out keyboard. The large screen provides a great
Internet experience, as well as offering access to Facebook feeds directly on
the homescreen. A full suite of email and social networking capabilities means
the Nokia C6 is perfect for people who want to stay up to date while on the go.
Expected to be available in the second quarter of 2010 at an estimated price of
EUR 220, before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia C6 has an impressive feature set
including a high quality five megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, and Ovi
Maps with free walk and drive navigation. In addition, thousands of apps - from
games and videos to news aggregators and web services - are available in the Ovi
Store.
Rounding off the trio is the latest addition to the Nokia Eseries range, the
Nokia E5. Designed for those that want to be productive in both their
professional and personal lives, the Symbian-based Nokia E5 follows the
successful blueprint of devices such as the Nokia E72 and Nokia E63. The Nokia
E5 combines high quality business features with all of the personal networking
and entertainment capabilities that a busy professional expects from a
smartphone.
The Nokia E5 is perfect for managing busy schedules with a variety of
productivity applications available in the Ovi Store. And with direct access to
over 90 percent of the world's corporate email through Mail for Exchange and IBM
Lotus Notes Traveler, it's easy to keep in contact from anywhere.
Estimated price of the Nokia E5 is EUR 180, before taxes and subsidies, with
expected availability in the third quarter of 2010.
