| Nokia claims it to be one of the lightest and smallest phones in the world using the WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) standard. |
| |
| It also houses a VGA camera that can capture pictures and video clips with audio of up to 2.5 minutes each. |
| |
| It also has an MP3/AAC music player, said the statement. |
| |
| Music and other multimedia content can be downloaded using mobile services while on the move or locally from a compatible PC via infrared, Bluetooth or USB connection while the XHTML browser allows users to browse the Web. |

| Other features include polyphonic ring tones, support for Java applications and a data connection speed of up to 384 kilobits per second in WCDMA high-speed network, which operators using the GSM are expected to adopt. |
| |
| In a WCDMA network, users can also send and receive video clips and pictures, even during a phone call. |
| |
| The phone operates in GSM900, 1800 and WCDMA networks and is expected to be available in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia-Pacific in fourth quarter of 2003, the statement said. |

| WCDMA is a third-generation mobile wireless technology offering much higher data speeds and better quality of service to mobile and portable wireless devices than current mobile networks. |
| |
| In June this year, Nokia launched its first WCDMA phone, the 6550 in Europe. |
