Nokia Introduces EDGE-Capable Smartphone for the Americas

Nokia introduced its first imaging "smartphone" for the Americas market optimized for use on new high-speed EDGE networks. The Nokia 6620 imaging phone employs a 65,000 color TFT screen for viewing still images and video clips captured by the integrated VGA camera and real-time video streaming over the EDGE network using the built-in RealOne mobile player. While taking pictures, users have the ability to use the 2X digital zoom and a self-timer feature. It uses Symbian OS and includes tools for PDA synchronization over-the-air. Between the on-board memory and the included MMC memory card, the Nokia 6620 imaging phone has over 40MB of memory in its standard configuration. Commercial availability is expected in Q2. http://www.nokia.com
