18th March 2004 - On a makeshift catwalk,
Nokia grabbed the spotlight at CeBIT 2004 with the
introduction of the sleek Nokia 7610 imaging device,
the company's first megapixel camera phone. Encased
in fashionable dual-tone ruby and onyx-colored covers,
the slim and stylish Nokia 7610 phone offers quick
and convenient capturing, printing, storing and
sending of photo-quality images and videos in addition
to the benefits of the Series 60 Platform. |
The tri-band model is planned to be available during
the second quarter of 2004 in two variants, GSM 900/1800/1900
and GSM 850/1800/1900. It is expected to retail for
approximately ?500.
Printing is a breeze for users of the Nokia 7610 imaging
device - pictures can be turned into prints in just
a few seconds via a Bluetooth connection to a compatible
printer or by using a printer kiosk available in Nokia
branded retail locations or other photo shops. Using
the Kodak Pictures application on the phone, pictures
can be uploaded to a virtual photo album on the web
and shared online with others or ordered as prints via
an online service. The Nokia 7610 phone offers a 65,000
color screen for viewing still images and video captured
by the integrated camera and watching real-time video
streaming using the built-in RealOne mobile player.
The megapixel (1152 X 864) camera features a high-quality
lens, 4x digital zoom, and a self-timer. The Nokia 7610
imaging device also allows users to capture images in
low-light conditions.
"Digital imaging has developed in ways that were unimaginable
when digital cameras first entered the mainstream only
five years ago. In 2003, the number of camera phones
sold outnumbered digital cameras. We are now entering
an era where camera phones will become mainstream imaging
devices," says Juha Putkiranta, Nokia's Senior Vice
President, Imaging Business Unit. "With the introduction
of the Nokia 7610, Nokia's first megapixel imaging device,
capturing spontaneous print-quality images no longer
requires a separate camera. Your megapixel camera is
now always in your pocket, built into your phone."
The Nokia 7610 is designed specifically for consumers
who create trends, not follow them. More than simply
sharing pictures with friends and family, Nokia 7610
users can create short films or even music videos of
up to 10 minutes by shooting and editing the footage
captured with their imaging device. By using the Movie
Director application, users can, for the first time,
turn video clips captured with their Nokia 7610 into
personal movies by adding special effects such as music,
text, new colors or moving objects. The application
automatically combines multiple video clips into a single
video vignette or optimizes the edited videos for MMS
sending.
Another innovative concept available for the Nokia
7610 is the Nokia Lifeblog application, which adds an
automatic digital diary to the pockets of trendsetters.
The phone application records and organizes digital
content - such as images, videos or messages - creating
a personal logbook or multimedia memo directly on the
phone. When transferred to Nokia Lifeblog on the PC,
people can browse and search their multimedia diary
in an easy to use timeline or share diary items with
friends or family via email. Additionally, the Adobe®
Photoshop® Album software included in the sales package
allows Nokia 7610 phone users to organize and edit digital
pictures on their PC's.
The other key features of the Nokia 7610 include rich
Multimedia Messaging, email, and MP3/AAC music player,
Internet browser, 72MB of expandable memory, USB, Bluetooth
connectivity and support for Java technology. The small
and sleek 118 gram and 93cc phone offers up to 3 hours
talk-time and 250 hours of standby time. With a wide
selection of applications designed for Series 60 based
devices, people can customize their Nokia 7610 imaging
phones with the applications they require to be most
creative.
