Mobile communications giant Nokia will close the year with a bang as this month it completes the release of advanced, colour-display cellular phones geared for general packet radio service (GPRS) networks in Hong Kong, said a senior official.
Timo Toikkanen, Nokia Hong Kong's general manager for mobile phones, said all the products launched by the company this year supported multimedia messaging services (MMS) that run on existing, Internet-ready GPRS systems.
These products include the model 7650 (held by Mr Toikkanen in the picture) introduced last July, the 7210 launched in October, the 6100 and 6610 last month, the 3650 unveiled on Thursday, and the 3530 later this month.
Mr Toikkanen said the latest models bolstered the company's position as the leading cellular gear brand in Hong Kong by offering 'a mobile phone of choice for consumers from different walks of life'.
The company recently announced that the global mobile phone volume demand was developing in line with expectations of a 400-million total handset market for the industry, with Nokia gaining significant market share this fourth quarter.
'With our new products, Nokia also wants mobile subscribers in Hong Kong to enjoy the benefits of using widely available high-speed GPRS connections and to become more comfortable with data communications using their handsets,' Mr Toikkanen said.
