Nokia 7600 develops a new design statement for mobility
September25,2003

Launched in conjunction with the 100% Design exhibition in London, Nokia
today announced the radically shaped Nokia 7600 phone combining 3G
capability with the latest mobile imaging features in a futuristic exterior.
Taking Nokia design to a new level, the device incorporates a 65,000 color
screen as the heart and soul of its front face. The Nokia 7600 enables
people to capture pictures and videos, send and receive multimedia messages*
and mobile email and listen to music. With this phone, people can also take
advantage of the increased speed of the next generation of mobile networks
by watching good quality live video content directly from their handsets.
Weighing a mere 123 grams and measuring 87mm x 78 mm x 18.6 mm, the Nokia
7600 is one of the lightest and smallest GSM/WCDMA phones in the world.

Operating in GSM900/1800 as well as WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple
Access) networks, the Nokia 7600 is expected to be available in volume in
Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia-Pacific in fourth quarter of 2003.
WCDMA is a third-generation mobile wireless technology offering much higher
data speeds and better quality of service to mobile and portable wireless
devices than current mobile networks.

Enhancing the exclusive design of the Nokia 7600, a limited edition series
of 1000 phones in special sales packages will be available through a
selection of high-quality lifestyle shops in Europe, including Conran Shop
(London), Asplunds (Stockholm), Colette (Paris), Corso Como 10 (Milan),
Vincon (Barcelona), Quartier 206 (Berlin), and Wittgenstein (Munich).

"Representing a unique marriage between technology and design, the Nokia
7600 is not only an object that expresses the personality of its owner, but
it is also at the cutting edge of mobile communications," says Juha
Putkiranta, Senior Vice President, Imaging Business Unit, Nokia Mobile
Phones. "Once again, Nokia is taking design to new levels while expanding
our portfolio of next generation devices. The Nokia 7600 allows people to be
their most creative while taking advantage of the quality and flexibility of
3G networks, without compromising on the essential basics of product size
and battery life."

The Nokia 7600 phone opens a new door to the world of multimedia
communications. People can view pictures taken with its VGA camera on an
illuminated display with over 65,000 colors, as well as capture video clips,
with audio, of up to 2,5 minutes each. In a WCDMA network, it is possible to
send and receive video clips and pictures even during a phone call. The
device also allows people to enjoy high-quality audiovisual content, such as
real-time music videos or television news, as they are downloaded via the
mobile Internet. **

The integrated MP3/AAC music player can play up to 50 minutes of near
CD-quality music saved on the internal memory of the device. Music and other
content can be downloaded using mobile services while on the move or locally
from a compatible PC via infrared, Bluetooth or USB connection. With the
XHTML browser, users can browse graphically rich mobile services. Other
features of the phone include polyphonic ring tones, support for Java
applications and a data connection speed of up to 384 kilobits per second in
WCDMA networks. The phone has talk time of up to 4 hours in GSM networks and
up to 2,9 hours in WCDMA, and stand-by time is up to 12,5 days in both
networks.

Coinciding with the launch, Nokia also unveiled the Nokia Image Frame for
displaying and sharing digital pictures on a bookshelf or desk, for
instance. The Nokia Image Frame will come in two versions. The infrared only
version, available from fourth quarter of 2003, allows owners of Nokia 7600
and other infrared capable devices to send and then display up to 50
pictures viewed one at a time or as a slideshow on its color display. In the
first quarter of 2004, Nokia will add a second Image Frame to the
enhancements portfolio featuring a slot for a SIM card. It enables receiving
pictures also via MMS.
