Read the preview of Nokia 7700.

At the annual Nokia Mobile Internet Conference in Nice, France and the "Destination Nokia 100% Pure Mobility" event held in Brisbane, Australia, Nokia today announced its first media category device, the Nokia 7700. A WAN handheld, the Nokia 7700 is powered by Nokia's most recent Symbian OS based platform, Series 90, and features several Nokia firsts including a landscape-oriented touch screen.

The Nokia 7700 features a 16-bit colour display, capable of displaying up to 65,536 colours at a resolution of 640 x 320 pixels. The display also offers a special partial mode which enables a 640 x 65 pixel area only for reduced power consumption. Additional features include music and video playback and streaming, an integrated VGA camera, FM radio, multimedia messaging support, as well as a full complement of personal information management features.

Using the included stylus and the on-screen keyboard or handwriting recognition, users can add entries to their phonebook or calendar, write e-mail messages or create documents. Users can also personalize their Nokia 7700 with a variety of wallpaper and ring tones.

64 MB of internal memory, of which 20-25 MB will be available to users, as well as a bundled 64 MB MMC card make up storage for the Nokia 7700. Users will also be able to synchronize data with Windows desktops through the Nokia PC Suite software, while WAN connectivity options range from tri-band GSM through CSD, HSCSD, GPRS, E-GPRS and EDGE. On the PAN side, the Nokia 7700 will come equipped with Bluetooth and support for its audio profile which enables use of Bluetooth headsets.

Several innovative applications also come pre-installed on the Nokia 7700, including Visual Radio which combines listening to FM radio with visual services delivered through the mobile network, including images, text and interactive elements on the screen of the mobile handset. Also, an application dubbed Movie Channel will enable users to view streamed movie trailers from several major studios, to be updated on a weekly basis.

The Nokia 7700 will also support the Nokia Streamer SU-6 accessory, the first mobile IP Datacast receiver designed to demonstrate the mobile phone television experience using the DVB-H network. The Nokia Streamer can be attached to the Nokia 7700 like a battery pack, and will be used in pilot projects to showcase the future of digital broadcasting on mobile devices.

The Nokia 7700 is expected to ship in Europe, Africa and the Asia Pacific in the second quarter of 2004.
