Nokia Brings Fresh Style to CDMA Market With New Nokia 3200 Series Phones

LAS VEGAS (March 20, 2001) – Each with a unique new design and an advanced feature set, the new Nokia model 3285 tri-mode CDMA phone (800/1900 MHz/AMPS) and Nokia model 3280 dual-mode CDMA phone (800 MHz/AMPS) deliver Nokia style and technology to CDMA customers in the Americas. Designed for the socially active and style-conscious, the Nokia 3200 Series CDMA phones feature optional Xpress-on translucent covers in six fashionable new colors, as well as two-way mobile messaging and an integrated wireless Internet minibrowser* for on-the-go access to the information ranging from stock quotes and flight times to concert locales and movie times.

Reflecting the latest fashion trends in color, six optional translucent Xpress-on color covers will be offered as part of the Nokia 3200 Series CDMA phone’s wide range of available Nokia Original Accessories. The colors include Raincloud Blue, Dusty Brown, Sage Green, Peonies Purple, Poppy Red and Harvest Gold. The Nokia model 3285 and Nokia model 3280 phones can be customized even more with custom ring tunes and on-screen graphics that can be downloaded from the web.*

The integrated minibrowser gives users the ability to access the continuously expanding number of wireless Internet sites dedicated to everything from business productivity to local entertainment. The Nokia 3200 Series CDMA phone’s twin softkey design makes internet browsing quick and simple, yet provides an easy-to-use Nokia user interface that will be familiar to owners of previous Nokia phone models. This continuity of interface design results in a short learning curve for Nokia customers upgrading to a new Nokia 3200 Series CDMA phone.

With two-way mobile messaging and support for sending and receiving Internet e-mail, the Nokia 3200 Series CDMA phones provide a variety of methods with which to keep in touch with colleagues, friends and family. To speed the entry of messages, the Nokia 3200 Series CDMA phones feature predictive text input, reducing the number of keystrokes needed to compose a message, and to enable text communications with PC’s and other connected devices, the Nokia 3200 Series CDMA phones’ integrated address book holds up to 200 e-mail addresses.

“The unique style and customization options of the Nokia 3200 Series CDMA phones bring a new sense of style and fun to the CDMA market,” said Pekka Vartiainen, senior vice president of sales for Nokia. “Additionally, the highly regarded Nokia interface and wireless internet browser deliver a new level of functionality to the new and experienced user alike.”

As the first CDMA handset series to be offered in the Americas with a standard lithium polymer battery, the Nokia 3200 Series CDMA phones weigh only 4.9 ounces, yet deliver up to 3 and a half hours of talk time and up to 5 and a half days of standby time in digital mode. The latest innovation in rechargeable battery technology, lithium polymer allows batteries to be extremely light and thin, while still providing exceptional operating times. The Nokia 3200 Series CDMA phone’s standard 1100mAh lithium polymer battery is a mere 1.4 ounces and measures only .3 inches thick.
