newspage.com Nokia is doing well! When they get on to cdmaOne, they will give Mighty-Q a real challenge. More threats to Anita [TM]! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia today introduced the Nokia 6120 (800 MHz single band/dual mode) and the Nokia 6160 (800/1900 MHz dual band/dual mode). Will be available in commercial volumes during the first quarter of 1998. Learning from the innovative Nokia 9000i Communicator, the 6120 and 6160 both take wireless communications one step closer to the features of smart phones. The phones include a phone directory that stores up to 199 names and numbers, an alarm clock, calendar, four electronic games and 35 ringing tones that include melody lines from popular songs. [Notice no camera, radio, calculator or vegemite dispenser - Ed] These phones have redefined wireless design in that it is no longer about the technology, but about function. Now users can change the phone to suit their needs - from environment to lifestyle - whether at home or in the office, playing video games or checking the time. Small and lightweight, with an extended lithium-ion battery, the phones weigh only 4.8 ounces, and offer up to three hours of digital talk time and up to eight days of digital standby. Other batteries available include an extended or vibrating nickel-metal-hydride battery or ultra-extended lithium-ion battery, offering up to five hours of talk time and up to two weeks of standby time. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mqurice Q-DogPitBull, I guess MSFT will charge what the market will bear, and try to undercut competitors, using subsidy from monopoly areas of their business if necessary to attain monopoly. But Mighty-Q will come up with the Elegant Solution and leave Motorola/Microsoft floudering around with antiquated monopoly CE operating system. Skiing, golf. You need more time at the screen!
