A red-hot version of the Nokia 6061 is now available on XE Mobile, a new pay-as you go wireless service. XE Mobile's red handset is the first Nokia 6061 available for prepay users as well as the only red version available in the U.S.

"XE is excited to offer this one-of-a-kind handset to its members - the color, look and feel fits well with our brand and target market," said Mark Ghermezian, president and CEO of XE Mobile. "XE is committed to offering the best products in the market place and will continue to offer handsets no other pay-as-you-go service is offering. Our members want the latest phones from the well known brands like Nokia, and we will offer them."

Nokia 6061 features MP3, MIDI and AMR format support for ringtones, a calendar, to-do list, calculator, stopwatch and countdown timer, speakerphone, as well as Java games. Users can also download more Java games, ringtones or wallpapers in order to customize their Nokia 6061.

Along with the mobile phone, XE Mobile users will also get a free XE Club Card, for the most widely accepted discount program for youth. With a $40 value, it provides members with exclusive discounts of up to 50% at more than 20,000 locations around campuses as well as online and at many national businesses.

"The Nokia 6061 phone combines Nokia's hallmark style and ease of use at a very attractive $49.99 price point," said Mike Pennington, vice president of sales for Nokia. "We are pleased to be working closely with XE to add the Nokia 6061 phone to its lineup of Nokia handsets."
