Nokia has teamed up with Google to facilitate web search on its products and launched models with added new services on Nokia N96, Nokia N 78, Nokia 6210 Navigator and Nokia 6220 classic at Mobile World Congress at Barcelona (February 11-14), while extending the feature to other Nokia mobile for future.
The wide customer base of Nokia in over hundred countries will be able to use Google search in days to come with location based navigation services.
Hailing the models launched as mini personal computers Nokia’s Chief Executive Officer Olli Pekka Kallasvuo said, “As we continue to free the internet from the limitations of the desktop, we are taking mobility into a completely new realm of possibility.”
The sets are endowed with personal navigation software that can guide pedestrians with detailed digital maps with movie viewing to video and photo sharing devices.
Nokia Executive Vice President Kai Ostamo, while commenting on its new range of phones, said “We would like to be called Mobile Experience Company and not just a mobile phone company.”
Nokia seems to be high on spirit with this added service and is vying to add more customers. The mobile company through a research by British institute Canalys found that 60% of its users would appreciate GPS enabled function on their mobile phones.
Global Positioning System (GPS) was the most popular development to be discussed at Mobile World Congress, one of the largest exhibitions consisting of over 1200 exhibitors.
GPS-enabled phones will be priced at about 450 euros (Rs 26,000) with additional charges of subscription of the GPS services.
The world first pedestrian phone Nokia 6210 comes with a receiver for GPS network of 24 satellites and integrated compass which will provide accurate information anywhere in the world with local map software.
The Nokia officials with much praises for the navigation services said that this device would help people to explore and discover even the unknown places with much confidence.
