27th October - Florianopolis, Brazil - Reaffirming
its commitment to providing high-quality devices for new growth
markets, Nokia today introduced a pair of CDMA handsets designed
expressly for these fast-growing regions. Both the classically
styled monoblock Nokia 1255 phone and the expressively designed
fold-style Nokia 2355 phone boast strong feature sets not
usually found at their entry-level price point. Both the Nokia
1255 and Nokia 2355 phones are expected to be available during
the 1st quarter of 2006.
"Nokia has built a strong relationship with CDMA operators
in new growth markets around the world, and we are pleased
to be adding two more handsets to our lineup that will meet
the unique needs of their customer bases," said Timo
Ihamuotila, senior vice president of Nokia's CDMA business
unit. "Even while meeting the value needs of consumers
in these new growth markets, the Nokia 2355 and Nokia 1255
phones still deliver a wide range of features designed to
enhance the mobile experience."

The value-priced Nokia 1255 phone packs an extra-large feature
set into an extra-small package. The 80-gram phone offers
productivity tools such as a two-way handsfree speakerphone,
voice recorder and a calendar with an alarm clock. Other fun
features include two built-in games, 20 ringtones and a selection
of user-selectable screen savers. In recognition of the need
