Latest Nokia Symbian Belle smartphone and new Nokia Luna Bluetooth Headset bring NFC to mass market
Istanbul, Turkey and Helsinki, Finland – Nokia today announced the Nokia 603, a colorful, affordable, no compromise smartphone preloaded with the latest apps and featuring single-tap pairing, sharing and tag reading with NFC. Alongside the Nokia 603, the daringly-designed Nokia Luna Bluetooth Headset completes the NFC-enabled easy pairing experience in an affordable package.
The Nokia 603 is designed to appeal to first time smartphone users and those upgrading from older products, particularly existing users of Nokia smartphones who will welcome a device that offers all the latest technology and features in a package that is still uniquely Nokia.
This latest smartphone exemplifies Nokia’s belief that affordability should not compromise the quality of the experience. The Nokia 603 offers a seamless, compact design that makes the most of the durable 3.5 inch ClearBlack, scratch-resistant display, optimized for use in sunlight. Exceeding expectations for its EUR 200 price-tag, this new smartphone comes preloaded with Maps, the latest social networking games and apps, and the ability to capture, edit and share photographs, all with incredibly fast graphics thanks to the 1GHz processor unit in the device. The Nokia 603 also makes NFC innovation accessible to more people with the ability to share content, pair with accessories such as the Nokia Luna Bluetooth Headset, and unlock new experiences, such as unseen levels on Angry Birds.
“The Nokia 603 continues the renewal of our smartphone range with products that are uniquely matched to the needs of people around the world,” said Tuula Rytila, Senior Vice President, Nokia. “Whatever the price-point, our aim is to ensure all Nokia smartphones are crafted for use, have Nokia’s trusted quality, are better connected and contain unexpected surprises, like tap to pair and share with NFC.”
Featuring the latest Symbian Belle software, the Nokia 603 also benefits from up to six customizable homescreens and dynamic live widgets for improved personalization and prioritization of your favourite content.
Continuing to extend Nokia’s range of innovative accessories, the Nokia Luna Bluetooth Headset is a simple and daringly designed, in-ear Bluetooth headset with NFC pairing capabilities. Coming in a range of vibrant colours, the Nokia Luna Bluetooth Headset has a self-contained pebble design with pop-out earpiece for eight hours of talk time and easy charging with any Nokia microUSB phone charger. At only EUR 59, the Nokia Luna Bluetooth Headset is perfectly priced to accompany the Nokia 603, bringing NFC pairing opportunities to more people around the world.
The Nokia 603 is available in black and white with a choice of back covers in six different colors: black, white, fuchsia, green, yellow and blue.
