Product: Nokia 6670 Smartphone Price: Under $4,000 Pros: An efficient mobile productivity tool, with megapixel camera, that is not a PDA Cons: Isn't that the 7610? Oh, wrong phone
Several people might have had a d?j? vu moment last week when Nokia unveiled in Hong Kong its latest phone model, the tri-band 6670 Smartphone. It has the same stylish shape and form as the 7610, released earlier this year, and also features a megapixel camera and big, high-resolution colour display.
The differences come in the 6670's staid silver-coloured casing and classic phone keys format, which are so unlike the angled keys and colourful art deco design of the 7610.The 6670 also has built-in push-to-talk software, which allows 'walkie-talkie' service using mobile phones. Users, especially subscribers with push-to-talk proponent New World Mobility, can conduct one-on-one and group conversations over the cellular network.
Nokia executives said users of the 7610 and last year's 6600 model could receive a free software upgrade from the city's three Nokia service centres and from New World Mobility (for subscribers) to get the same push-to-talk function.
Based on the Symbian operating system, the 6670 offers document viewers for reading e-mail attachments, a Web browser with support for PDF files and personal information management features such as Data Sync.
The Nokia software that backs up and synchronises contacts, calendars and 'to do' lists between the phone and a PC also supports corporate Windows and Lotus applications.
