Glowing grips and
Light Messaging highlight camera phone
With a burst of
rhythmic, flashing lights, the Nokia 3220 camera phone,
signalled its arrival - and an innovative way to communicate
with friends in a crowd. Unveiled today at Nokia Totally Board
in Thessaloniki, Greece, the Nokia 3220 is highlighted by
transparent Nokia Xpress-On(TM) grips, which pulsate with light
effects to indicate calls, messages, and in sync with the beat
of ringtones. Self-styled cut-out covers and mobile themes,
including ringtones, wallpapers, colour schemes and light
sequences, make personalization simple and fun. Best of all,
the Nokia 3220 comes with a "lite" sales tag with an
unsubsidized retail price estimated to start around 250 EUR.
From the company
that pioneered text messaging, picture messaging and multimedia
messaging, comes new innovation - Light Messaging. By waving the
Nokia 3220 from side to side, the LED lights of the Nokia
Xpress-on(TM) Fun Shell light up to "write" a message that
appears to float in mid-air. Exchanging messages across a
crowded room or at open-air concerts will never be the same.
How's your tribe?
Someone need voting off? The Nokia 3220 puts your "survivor"
skills to the test with the first mobile game of the popular
television series Survivor. Control characters. Create
alliances. Vote off rivals. Compete against others to be the
last one standing! Compelling mobile games, applications and
services, including Survivor, can be purchased at
www.nokia.com/shop*.
For a different
twist, use your Nokia 3220 as a joystick in the motion games
that complement the Nokia Xpress-on(TM)Fun Shell. Literally
jump into the action by tilting the phone to move characters
through a series of challenges and tests. Two motion games are
included: SwampRacer, a high-octane airboat
racing game, and AirExpress, where you fly
freely around an exotic archipelago world.
What's the point in
experiencing real-life adventures when you can't share them?
With a built-in VGA camera you can send pics and videos using
multimedia messaging service (MMS)**. Photos and short videos
are easily stored on the Nokia 3220 phone so you can carry those
summer memories with you all year.
For glowing
personalities who enjoy being the life of the party, the Nokia
3220 answers the call.
The Nokia 3220 is a
tri-band camera phone that will be available in two versions: a
GSM 900/1800/1900 primarily for the European and Asian markets,
and a GSM 850/1800/1900 primarily for the Americas. Shipments
are expected to start in summer 2004.
