The >> N95, the latest futuristic model in the N Series range, which the company >> said >> has sold 10 million sets worldwide, will hit retail stands, including in >> India, in the first quarter of 2007 and is likely to be priced at around >> 550 Euros. >> "The Nokia N95 brings a range of multimedia features together, such as a >> fantastic display, outstanding photo and video capability and high-speed >> connectivity, >> making it an excellent multimedia computer," Nokia Asia-Pacific >> Multimedia >> Vice-President Jose-Luis Martinez told reporters here after unveiling the >> new >> range last evening. The N95, referred to as "an all-in-one multimedia >> computer" by Nokia, is a 2-way slide phone sporting integrated GPS >> functionality, >> a 5 megapixel camera and support for high-speed mobile networks, making >> it >> easier to watch and record videos, listen to songs, take high-quality >> photos, >> browse the internet or catch up on email while on the move. The 2-way >> slide concept in the phone makes it easy to switch between different >> modes, going >> from reading maps to watching a video with a simple slide. A numeric >> keypad slides out from one end of the device while dedicated media keys >> slide out >> from the opposite direction, converting the display into full screen >> landscape mode. "This single device, which fits easily in your pocket, >> can >> replace >> stand-alone devices that you no longer need to carry individually, >> whether >> it is your music player, your digital camera, PDA or navigation device. >> Most >> importantly, the Nokia N95 is with you and connected when you want to use >> it," Martinez said. Elaborating on the GPS functionality, the first for >> Nokia >> phones, Martinez said it allows users to locate points of interests and >> find their way using the integrated GPS feature. "The maps cover more >> than >> 100 >> countries and 15 million points of interests, enabling users to explore >> the world," he said, though refusing to identify the cities and areas >> where the >> service would be functional. When operational, the GPS feature would >> allow >> N95 users to search for local vicinity favourites like the most popular >> food >> places, buildings and save their favourite locations. They can also >> purchase additional features such as voice guided navigation >> instructions, >> the company >> said. This is also the first time that Nokia is offering a 5 megapixel >> camera on its phones. "With the Carl Zeiss optics on the 5 megapixel >> camera, you >> can capture print quality photos and DVD-like quality video clips. Photos >> and video clips can be enjoyed on a compatible television set," Nokia >> said. Designed >> for High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) networks and with support >> for WLAN, EDGE and WCDMA networks, the Nokia N95 provides excellent >> coverage and >> speeds. In HSDPA networks, browsing the Internet, reading email, >> streaming >> video and downloading large files can be carried out up to 10 times >> faster >> than >> with 3G. Nokia also unveiled music versions of its N70, N73 and N91 >> phones, with the N91 8GB music edition fitting 6,000 songs. >> >> http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2032647.cms >> >> Vikas Kapoor, >> MSN ID: >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Yahoo ID: >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Skype ID: dl_vikas >> Mobile: (+91) 9891098137. >> To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> with the subject unsubscribe. >> >> To change your subscription to digest mode or make any other changes, >> please visit the list home page at >> >> http://accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/accessindia_accessindia.org.in >> > > > To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with the subject unsubscribe. > > To change your subscription to digest mode or make any other changes, > please visit the list home page at > http://accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/accessindia_accessindia.org.in > To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
