from any Bluetooth version 1.1 (object push profile) enabled
camera phone, like Nokia's 7650, to the receiver and view
them on the TV screen.

can enjoy the images from their camera phones in a larger
format, view them with family and friends and store the
most favored in their Navi(TM) Bars image folder. Storage
is available for more than 30 images at one time. By also
providing all the benefits of a digital satellite receiver,
it is truly a fusion that enhances the pure entertainment
experience of digital TV.

230 S supports various Pay TV operators via a common interface
module and also provides access to all digital free-to-air
television and radio channels available. Sleek and modern
in appearance, Nokia's Mediamaster products enhance the
aesthetic environment of your home. The Nokia Mediamaster
230 S offers an attractive compact design featuring a titanium
grey flap, with blue black cabinet. "The Nokia Mediamaster
230 S offers access to a huge array of digital content available,
while at the same time providing the unique image viewer
and the ability to view digital images from camera phones",
said Pekka Kuusela, General Manager Sales, Nokia Home Communications.
