As it aims to get
clear differentiation in the crowded mobile device market, Nokia
has launched a range of mobile devices that feature integrated
mobile technology.
The three latest
models in the Nokia NSeries—namely the Nokia N92, N80 and N71—have
design to allow users to watch mobile TV, stream music, share
photos and send emails with attachments.
The main
attraction is undoubtedly the N92 which Nokia claims is the world’s
first of its kind with an in-built DVB-H receiver, the mobile TV
standard which is being endorsed by Nokia.
Likely to be
commercially available by mid 2006, the N92 boasts a 2.8-inch
antiglare QVGA screen that can display TV signals at up to 16
million colours and currently offers four hours of viewing time on
one recharge. It features a twist and fold and stand form-factor
and TV viewing is optimised in landscape orientation. The device
has an electronic service guide and a 30-second replay feature.
As well as for TV
viewing, the N92 can be used as a music player, supporting up to
1500 songs, and a as a radio. It has an imaging mode that supports
still pictures and video capture and has a 2 Megapixel camera with
4x digital zoom.
Whilst it
primarily receives DVB-H broadcasts, the N92 also works as a 3G
phone and utilises cellular networks to support services such as
voting, programme feedback and additional web interaction. It also
includes email and content downloads using WiFi.
