Nokia today expanded its portfolio of clamshell phones with the
GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz Nokia 6101 for Europe, Middle-East, Africa
and Asian markets, and a GSM 850/1800/1900 model targeted towards
the Americas.
The Nokia 6101 offers a range of customization options, including
branded menu icons, services access as well as customized
wallpapers and wake-up graphics. The built-in VGA camera with a
dedicated button takes videos and pictures that can be shared via
MMS or uploaded to an online photo album or printing service.
Featuring two colour displays, the Nokia 6101 can be personalized
with animated wallpapers and screensavers. The external color
display shows incoming calls, time and date while the internal
screen displays favorite images or a busy social calendar.
The Nokia 6101 camera phone also introduces a new feature, Nokia
Xpress audio messaging, which enables users to record and send a
voice message to others over the GPRS network. With the touch of a
few buttons, consumers can send their audio message -- a holiday
greeting, personal congratulations or even a special moment like a
grandchild's first words -- and share it with others via Nokia
Xpress audio messaging. Once a message has been received, it can be
stored in the phone and played when desired. The Nokia 6101 also
sports Push To Talk functionality.
Also unveiled for the first time, the Nokia Display Headset HS-6
shows caller and music information directly on its screen. Sold
separately, the Nokia Display Headset enables users to control
calls and remotely operate the FM radio of the Nokia 6101.
With an estimated retail price of less than 250 EUR, excluding
taxes and subsidies, the Nokia 6101 is expected to start shipping
in the second quarter of 2005.
