14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia announced a way for internet users to interact with some of the web's favorite services while they are away from their PC's, in a pocketable, easy to use device. Nokia N80 Internet Edition brings together wireless LAN (WLAN), a robust browser, support for internet calls, a 3-megapixel camera, and quadband GSM WCDMA coverage along with an easy to use WLAN wizard (to make connecting to the internet easy), and a host of other internet services not previously installed together on Nokia devices.
With the newly launched Nokia N80 Internet Edition owners will be able to use Yahoo! Search in the Mobile Search application to conveniently search for and find almost anything on the web, also, they can use the Mini Map functionality of the internet browser to enjoy the pages they find. Users can browse through thousands of items at Amazon.com, or scroll through a book with Amazon's MobiPocket Reader. They can also share their moments online - snap a photo and send it directly from their device to their Flickr site for their friends and family to enjoy too. Connections with the Yahoo! community can be acquired by using the Yahoo! Go for Mobile application.
The Nokia N80 Internet Edition comes loaded with Nokia's new Download! client. Clicking on the Download! folder allows users to see what new applications are available for their multimedia computer, as well as keeping other selected applications current. The fully featured Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map makes browsing the internet easy and users will be able to view the web pages just the same way that PC web browsers display web pages.
Making an Internet call with the Nokia N80 Internet Edition is as easy as making a regular voice call only the call is carried over WLAN. The VoIP framework (based on the SIP protocol) is integrated into the Nokia user interface, and the Nokia N80 Internet Edition allows downloading compatible third party internet call applications. The wireless LAN wizard will help users locate and set up a WLAN connection, when they are close to a WLAN, either at home or a public hotspot.
The Nokia N80 Internet Edition comes in two stylish colors, patina bronze and pearl black, and is expected to be available from mid-September 2006.
