Nokia announces Series 60 based 3660, 3620By Sindre Lia, Thursday 9 October 2003
Being successors of the popular Nokia 3650, the European 3660 and the American 3620 sport a 16-bit color screen and an integrated VGA camera.

The Nokia 3650 launched last year, has been the company's best-selling imaging phone. Nokia is now introducing the Nokia 3660 and Nokia 3620 which further expand the company's imaging portfolio and extends the imaging experience to a wider consumer segment.

The Series 60 based Nokia 3660/3620
The Nokia 3660 and Nokia 3620 smartphones are based on the Series 60 software package. Both products feature an integrated VGA camera and a video recorder for capturing video clips, as well as a RealOne Player for downloading and playing real-time streaming of content.

The MMS functionality allows users to send images, video clips, text and sound to another compatible MMS-enabled phone or to an e-mail address. In addition, the Nokia 3660 and Nokia 3620 have extensive e-mail support (SMTP, IMAP4, POP3) and an WAP 2.0/XHTML browser to make accessing mobile services a richer experience.

The Nokia 3660/3620 features a 65,536 color display as opposed to Nokia 3650's 4096 color display, a new key mat design, and a new range of Xpress-on covers. Moreover, the new models are equipped with polyphonic ringtones (supporting up to 128 instruments and 24 chord polyphony), Bluetooth and SyncML support, Infrared port, J2ME support, and will be shipped with a 16 MB memory card with additional applications.

The form factor of the Nokia 3660/3620 is the exact same as found in the Nokia 3650, thus providing equal size and weight. More specifically, the Nokia 3660/3620 weighs in at 130 g and measures 130 x 57 x 26 mm. The claimed talk and standby times are respectively 4 hours and 240 hours - in other words, a slightly better standby time than the Nokia 3650's 200 hours.

The tri-band Nokia 3660 (GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900) is primarily for the European, Middle-East and Asia Pacific markets while the Nokia 3620 (GSM/GPRS 850/1900) phone is primarily for the Americas.

Shipping is expected to begin during the fourth quarter of 2003.
