Nokia announced the Nokia 6200 tri-band (GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/1800/1900MHz)
phone, the world's first 3GPP compliant EDGE handset, offering users
advanced voice features and robust mobile data services via high
speed Internet connectivity. The Nokia 6200 phone also represents
the first mobile phone to support GSM 850, 1800 and 1900 frequency
bands. Deliveries for operator controlled live network tests of
the Nokia 6200 handset will begin in Q4 2002. Commercial availability
for first customers is expected to begin Q1 2003.
GSM evolution to EDGE is a much needed technology enhancement because
it alleviates some voice traffic bandwidth and enables higher data
throughput, therefore maximizing overall efficiency and performance
of the network and services. EDGE provides the platform for more
efficient content delivery and more robust mobile services such
as MMS, XHTML and Java technology at data speeds initially more
than double that of existing GSM/GPRS networks.
The Nokia 6200 phone boasts a large, high resolution color display
optimized for image display and XHTML browsing, features predictive
text input and an ergonomically designed keyboard with large buttons
for fast and easy mobile messaging, and supports MMS for sending
and receiving messages containing text and pictures. Users can also
enjoy a high-quality sound experience with polyphonic MIDI ring
tones, the integrated stereo FM radio, and voice recordings.
With the Nokia 6200 EDGE handset, users are able to download content,
applications, access Internet and intranet information quickly and
efficiently at data rates approximately two times (up to 118 kbps)
that of conventional dial up (56 kbps). Personal data from the calendar,
address book and to-do lists can also be remotely synchronized over
the air with a network server or locally with a PC using IR (infrared)
or an optional data cable to keep vital information up to date.
The Nokia 6200 also supports Java technology enabling users to
download personalized content and applications of their choice,
whether it is for entertainment, lifestyle management, or travel,
for example. The Nokia 6200 phone also features an enhancement connector
designed to support advanced functionalities such as digital accessory
identification, stereo audio or fast data connectivity. The addition
of the optional Nokia Camera Headset lets you capture and share
images with a simple click and send.
