Nokia (NYSE: NOK), the expert in mobility, today announced that the new Nokia 3650 imaging phone was selected as an Innovations 2003 award winner at the 2003 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The annual Innovations awards honor the year's most innovative products in 20 categories.
Designed to allow users to share their experiences with both voice and images, the Nokia 3650 phone includes an integrated VGA resolution camera, a large 176x208 pixel color display supporting 4096 colors, and a unique retro-styled circular keypad with a 5-way scroll key. The Nokia 3650 also incorporates a camcorder for capturing video clips, as well as a RealOne Player for playing or accessing streaming video content. MMS functionality allows users to send video clips, images, text and sound over the air to another MMS-enabled phone or to a standard e-mail address. The Nokia 3650 phone also supports a wide variety of e-mail standards and features an XHTML browser to enable next generation browsing.
The tri-band (GSM 900/1800/1900) Nokia 3650 imaging phone incorporates the Nokia Series 60 user interface, allowing users to easily navigate and activate the phone's features with just one hand. The Nokia 3650 imaging phone represents the first Series 60 device in the Americas, and Nokia's second Series 60 device worldwide, the first being the Nokia 7650 imaging phone which has already created a Series 60 user base numbering in the millions. Built-in Java technology allows users to personalize the content on their phone with a wide selection of third-party applications, including image editing and a variety of graphic-intense games. The Nokia 3650 imaging phone is expected to be available in early 2003.
Each year, an independent panel of industry designers, engineers and journalists evaluate the year's best new consumer electronics products that are submitted by electronics manufacturers and marketed in the United States. The Innovations 2003 Awards honor the best in consumer technology design and engineering in twenty categories, and for 2003 were selected from over 600 individual entries.
