October 2002 - Nokia
has started deliveries of the Nokia 7650 imaging phone,
which supports the recently announced Vodafone Live!
services in Europe. Vodafone will make the Nokia 7650
available for its customers in the UK, Germany, Spain,
Italy, Portugal, Ireland and the Netherlands.
The
introduction of the Nokia 7650 earlier this year signified
a transformation in mobile communication with completely
new applications and flexibility based on open standards
and platforms. Based on the Series 60 platform running
on the Symbian OS, the Nokia 7650, which has an integrated
camera, has been available in the GSM markets since
June 2002.
The
new technologies introduced to market with the Nokia
7650 imaging phone, such as the Series 60 software platform,
allow mobile manufacturers to configure and customize
devices for operators, other trade customers, and consumers
more freely. The customisation required to deliver Vodafone
Live! is an excellent example of these new possibilities.
Access to Vodafone's services is through an easy to
use color menu and is pre-configured on the phone.
Commenting
on the new service, Isto Pankakoski, Senior Vice President,
Nokia Mobile Phones said; "We are delighted that, together
with Vodafone, we can offer a superior mobile user experience
by combining the Nokia 7650 and the Vodafone Live! Service.
This cooperation is also a strong demonstration of the
power of open platforms in providing tailored support
of services without compromising interoperability and
usability. This cooperation complements both Nokia and
Vodafone brands and gives the superior customer experience
in the mobile market today."
Vodafone
Live! is a new world of color, sound and pictures for
Vodafone customers. Mobile services such as picture
messaging, games, ring tones and the best in entertainment
and information services are all accessed through an
easy to use color menu on integrated camera phones,
such as the Nokia 7650.
