Welcome & Introduction:

Nokia Vision and Commitment

Nokia Welcome

from CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo

There are more than six billion of us on this planet. We are all differ- ent and we value many different things in life. To some people, what matters is staying in touch and sharing experiences; others want to provide for their families and get ahead in their careers; some just want to have fun and live for the moment. More often than not, what matters to you is a unique combination of all of these.

At Nokia we increasingly see mobile communications helping every- one connect to the things that matter most in their lives. And be- cause that’s important in itself, that means being connected any time and in any place.

Connecting people in new and exciting ways means giving everyone the power to choose when and how to stay in touch with those im- portant things, so that they can make the most out of every moment. The majority of the people on this planet already have a mobile de- vice, but we are entering an age where soon a whole world of smart services will be a part of each person’s life.

So imagine an entire planet where people, places and information are seamlessly connected; where communications devices and servic- es are such an integral and indispensable part of our lives, they really do become second nature.

This is how we see the world and the role of communications in mak- ing it happen. On the following pages we hope you’ll get some idea of how Nokia is making this come to life.

Nseries specifications

The Nokia Nseries, launched in the mid-2000s, represented a groundbreaking line of multimedia smartphones that combined innovative technology with sleek designs. This series reinvigorated Nokia’s reputation as a leader in mobile phone technology while catering to a new generation of tech-savvy users looking for powerful devices that could handle various multimedia tasks.

One of the standout features of the Nokia Nseries was its commitment to high-quality multimedia capabilities. Equipped with advanced cameras, many models boasted Carl Zeiss optics, allowing users to capture stunning photos and videos. The Nokia N95, for instance, featured a 5-megapixel camera that set a new standard for mobile photography. In addition, the Nseries often included dedicated multimedia buttons, making it easier for users to access their favorite media apps and functions.

Displaying vibrant colors and impressive clarity, the Nseries devices typically used high-resolution screens. These displays not only enhanced the multimedia experience but also made browsing the internet, reading e-books, and enjoying games visually engaging. The inclusion of features like a built-in music player supported a rich audio experience, with many models offering support for various audio formats.

Connectivity was another hallmark of the Nseries. Users could expect 3G capabilities, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth support, allowing seamless sharing and downloading of content. The devices also usually incorporated GPS functionality, a feature that became increasingly important for navigation and location-based services, marking the Nseries as a pioneer in integrating location technology into mobile phones.

Software-wise, Nokia Nseries phones ran on the Symbian operating system. While not as user-friendly as later platforms, Symbian provided users with a level of customization and extensive app availability through the Nokia Software Market. This allowed users to personalize their devices according to their preferences, maximizing their utility.

The Nokia Nseries encapsulated a perfect balance of form and function. The sleek designs and premium materials reflected Nokia’s commitment to quality, while the powerful features emphasized the trend towards multimedia smartphones. By combining photography, video, music, and internet capabilities, the Nseries paved the way for today's smartphones, influencing how devices are designed and utilized in modern life. Though the series has been discontinued, its legacy remains visible in the evolution of mobile technology.
