Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced the Nokia 6700 classic, the Nokia 6303 classic and the Nokia 2700 classic, three devices that build on the formula that made Nokia the world leader in mobile phones. The new trio combines the functionality and user experience required in today’s hectic times, with premium designs and materials that make them the most beautiful, well built and competitively priced offerings available.
 
Leading the new collection is the Nokia 6700 classic, which continues the legacy of one of the company’s most successful products, the Nokia 6300. “The Nokia 6300 raised the bar in terms of design and premium materials when it arrived in 2006 and topped all sales records for a mid-range mobile phone. The Nokia 6700 moves that bar even higher with a beautiful, slim design and perfectly balanced practicality,” said Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President, Nokia. “Our new arrival shares the same ‘DNA’ as its predecessor and we believe that it will be one of our best selling devices in 2009,” continued Petersen.
 
The Nokia 6700 combines smooth surfaces, rich materials and precisely crafted parts with a full metal keymat which completes the premium finish. Improving on all areas of its forerunner, the Nokia 6700 comes with a 5 megapixel camera, assisted GPS navigation with Nokia Maps, and high speed data access meaning sharing images or video is faster and easier than ever. At an estimated retail price of EUR 235, before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia 6700 addresses the original Nokia 6300 customer need and aspiration level perfectly.
 
At an estimated retail price of EUR 135, before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia 6303 classic is ideal for people that see the current value proposition of the Nokia 6300. The 3.2 megapixel camera comes to life on the large 2.2 inch screen, and with pre-loaded Nokia Maps, the Nokia 6303 combines a long list of features with excellent battery performance. Added to everything else, people can plug any music accessory into the standard 3.5 mm audio jack and have a fully fledged mobile music player able to carry thousands of their favorite tracks.
 
Rounding off the new arrivals is the Nokia 2700 classic which, at and estimated price of EUR 65 before taxes and subsidies, is one of Nokia’s most affordable, full featured handsets. Offering up to 2GB of storage via the memory card slot, the phone also has an integrated digital music player and a 2.0 megapixel camera, making it equally competent for imaging and music. “These features mean people can save, access and share files in hundreds of formats via Nokia’s online service, Share on Ovi, or a number of other websites. The rich features and simple interface mean that in many cases, the Nokia 2700 classic will provide its owner’s first Internet experience,” concluded Petersen. All three devices are expected to ship in the second quarter of 2009.

SafeWallet Pro for S60 v1.1 has been released with some very useful changes-

S60 Client: Search your wallet! This is, without a doubt, the most popular feature request we had for the S60 client since the first version of SafeWallet Pro for S60 was released! We’ve received lots of requests from users asking to have a quick and easy-to-use feature to search for cards within their wallet on the S60 client too. The ability to easily search for cards is already available on the PC companion version and therefore the requests were referring to have this new addition with the S60 client.

S60 Client: Touch support One of the main additional improvements that we’ve been working on with this new update is optimizing and improving touch support navigation with SafeWallet as part of the welcome for new S60 devices with touch screens, such as the new Nokia 5800. We still have a few touch-related improvements planned on the pipe with upcoming builds of SafeWallet, but this version is already nicely optimized for use with new Nokia touch devices and users with such new devices can easily use SafeWallet on their device. More cool tricks are planned these days and we will introduce them shortly too now.

S60 Client: Symbian Signed This new version of SafeWallet is the first SafeWallet version with Symbian Signed certificate. From users’ point of view the main different is that now you won’t be asked if you trust the installation when installing SafeWallet since it is already signed and certified smile.gif from our side – this is main an official process that we wanted to complete to provide better assurance about the quality of the application both to our users and vendors and we are happy to have the Symbian Signed certification included!

PC Companion: Card Printing One of the nice new features available on the PC companion is the ability to easily print individual cards with your printer. Users that would like to copy a specific card details to a paper will now find the new printing option that will nicely output your card content using any configured printer.

PC Companion: More Wallet Import/Export options A lot of improvements and optimization was implemented with SafeWallet Import and Export utilities. With this new version users will find import options from new applications (including: DataVault, eWallet, FledxWallet, Handy Safe, Handy Safe Pro, MiniSafe and SplahID). In addition, several importing problems reported with wallets including special characters such as German Emulates or Hebrew/Arabic characters are now fixed. Ability to import SafeWallet exported XML files is now also available.
