Nokia showcases leadership in converged devices, Internet services and exciting new 'green' initiatives
Consumer experiences take center stage with Nokia at CES 2008
Las Vegas, USA - At this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Nokia (NYSE:NOK) is showcasing the industry's widest array of wireless devices and is dedicating more exhibit space than ever before to hands-on demonstrations of Nokia-branded and third-party wireless applications, services and mobile experiences. This increased emphasis is a direct result of the growing importance of software and services in the wireless industry, and reflects Nokia's evolution from a pure manufacturer of wireless hardware into a true Internet company. Another area of emphasis within the Nokia exhibit is the environment, and how Nokia has been leading the way in developing and utilizing environmentally responsible business practices. Nokia's exhibit at CES 2008 is located in the upper level of the Las Vegas Convention Center's south hall, booth #30313.
"Nokia is proud to be connecting more people around the world than anyone else as the world's leading manufacturer of wireless handsets, and the leader in converged mobile devices. However, we are even more excited about the future of mobility, and how Nokia's new focus on services is setting the stage for the transformation of the entire wireless industry," said Mark Louison, President, Nokia Inc. "Most importantly, Nokia is focused on achieving its goals in a way that looks not only at the future of mobility, but is also mindful of the future of our environment as well."
The leader in converged devices
Further cementing its position as the global leader in converged devices, Nokia today introduced the Nokia N95 8GB, optimized for the Americas market. The Nokia N95 8GB builds upon the legacy of the successful Nokia N95 by adding an even larger display and built-in 8GB of internal memory while supporting high-speed HSDPA networks on the 850MHz and 1900MHz bands that are prevalent across the Americas. Additionally, Nokia introduced a stunning limited-edition bright red version of the multiple award-winning Nokia N95 for the US which includes the full suite of highly acclaimed features that consumers across the globe are craving. Only 5,000 units of this special red Nokia N95 will be available during first quarter of 2008. This new limited edition red version of the Nokia N95, along with the current black and bronze versions, has an estimated retail price of USD 599.
The multi-award winning business-class Nokia E61i, was today named the "Best Mobile Handset for Enterprise" by InfoWorld and will be among the full range of Nokia's converged devices on demonstration in the Nokia exhibit. In addition, Nokia will also be highlighting the eagerly anticipated, award-winning Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, the musically-inclined Nokia 5310 XpressMusic and Nokia 5610 XpressMusic handsets and unique new mobile enhancements like the Nokia Power Pack DC-1 for easy recharging on the go and the Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-902, which includes its own display for caller ID and phonebook access.
Consumer experiences in the spotlight
More than half of Nokia's CES exhibit will be dedicated to demonstrating the consumer experiences that are the driving force behind Nokia's transition into an Internet company. Some of the services and applications on display include Nokia Maps; a fully-featured mapping and navigation application that is available for Nokia's S60-based converged devices, Widgets; lightweight, web-based applications that deliver personalized content to Nokia devices, N-Gage; Nokia's advanced, connected wireless game service, and Nokia Internet Radio, which delivers an ever-growing selection of Internet radio stations directly to any Nokia S60-based handset.
Along with these Nokia services, a number of exciting third-party applications will also be highlighted at the Nokia CES 2008 exhibit. These include SlingPlayer, which allows users to experience their home television directly from their wireless device via Wi-Fi or 3G networks, Rhapsody, the service that transforms the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet into a virtual jukebox with millions of songs on demand, and Skype, the popular VoIP service that is now available for the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet.
Driving responsible environmental practices
Nokia has long been the recognized leader in driving responsible environmental practices, and at CES 2008, a number of these innovations will be on display. The recently announced Nokia 3110 Evolve will be shown for the first time in North America. The device features a range of environmentally-focused features including covers which are made from over 50% renewable bio-materials, reduced size packaging, and a new charger that uses 94% less energy than required by Energy Star standards.
With an eye to the future, the Nokia Eco Sensor concept will also be shown for the first time in North America at CES 2008. The Nokia Eco Sensor concept examines how green technologies may be used in the future to create ever more sustainable devices. Inspired by the "three R's" principle - reduce, reuse and recycle - the concept explores a range of potential new materials and technologies such as printed electronics, bio-materials and reclaimed materials. It also looks at ways that mobile technology could employ mobile sensing to monitor and report on both the health of the user and the surrounding environmental conditions.
Within the environmental display, Nokia will also have a recycling collection point where CES attendees can drop off old mobile phones and accessories for proper recycling. Visitors to the exhibit will also be able to see some of the environmental services available through Nokia devices.
