Nokia started commercial deliveries of the 3G Nokia 6650
June 14, 2003
Following the successful completion of the piloting and test program,
Nokia has started shipments of the Nokia 6650 mobile phone to selected
mobile operators and retailers in Europe and Asia, including Japan. Operators
will now be able to provide their customers with the Nokia 6650 as a standard
GSM phone, a WCDMA phone or a dual-mode GSM/WCDMA phone, depending on
their network architecture. The Nokia 6650 is capable of hand-overs between
GSM and WCDMA systems in a dual-mode network.
Consumers will be able to enjoy global roaming on all GSM900/1800 networks
globally as well as on WCDMA networks in Japan and Europe. Those operators
building WCDMA coverage to complement their existing GSM900/1800 coverage
can now offer data speed services of up to 384 kbps with WCDMA, while
having the full coverage of the GSM900/1800 grid in a single terminal
with proven dual system capabilities, tested for interoperability across
the full range of functionality with infrastructure vendors.
"The Nokia 6650 is a perfect companion for the traveling business professional,
who needs both high-speed data services, such as the fast downloading
of emails to his laptop and access to information services, as well as
extensive roaming. For a Japanese user, the Nokia 6650 offers seamless
roaming in Europe and Asia, and for a GSM user, seamless roaming in Japan,"
said Juha Putkiranta, Senior Vice President, Nokia Mobile Phones.
He adds: "Almost 20,000 Nokia 6650 phones were used in the pilot program.
The commercial availability of the Nokia 6650 will open the road for the
commercial 3G service experience."
The availability of services utilizing WCDMA technology is determined
by individual operator plans. As a result, availability of the Nokia 6650
will vary by country and by operator. The first operator shipments of
the Nokia 6650 commercial release will be delivered to J-Phone and mobilkom
austria during June. Nokia expects that during the second half of 2003,
approximately 20 operators worldwide will introduce WCDMA either as their
main radio technology or as a complementary enhancement to their existing
GSM network.
Consumers are already using a number of 3G services in current networks:
multimedia messaging, various types of downloading, sending and receiving
videos. While the underlying technology is transparent to the consumer,
mobile phone users will see the benefits of WCDMA in faster and more convenient
service delivery, and in the introduction and availability of new services,
such as multitasking.
