`Nokia introduces the new Nokia 9000i Communicator for GSM Markets
`New version with enhanced applications, advanced calendar system and Internet services based
`on Smart Messaging
`(November 5, 1997) -- Nokia today introduced the new version of the award-winning Nokia 9000 Communicator. In
`Europe the new product is called the Nokia 9000i Communicator and in Asia-Pacific the Nokia 9000 Communicator,
`Enhanced Software. The new product is currently available in volume for the GSM 900 and 1800 markets.
`
`The Nokia 9000i Communicator offers a comprehensive set of new features, advanced usability in all the major functions
`and it supports Smart Messaging. In addition to the existing languages, the Nokia 9000i Communicator includes
`language versions for the Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish markets.
`
`- Based on the success of the Nokia 9000 Communicator we believe that with the new version we have an even greater
`opportunity to serve emerging customer segments, such as corporate clients and vertical markets. They are now able to
`leverage a number of general and vertical applications, specific Internet/Intranet services and seamless connectivity with
`PCs. In addition, there has been considerable interest from companies wanting to optimize the unique functionality of
`the Nokia 9000i Communicator for their specific needs," said Anssi Vanjoki, Senior Vice President, Europe, Nokia
`Mobile Phones.
`
`All the applications in the Nokia 9000i Communicator, such as telephone, fax, Internet and calendar, have enhanced
`functionality in order to provide even easier and faster usability. For example, the Nokia 9000i Communicator now
`supports short messages with up to 2 280 characters, the current standard being 160 characters. With the Text Web
`service based on Smart Messaging, the end-user is able to obtain information in a simple text format without graphics or
`logos from the Internet by using the short message service. Text Web information can include flight schedules, weather
`or traffic reports and stock news.
`
`The operating system platform provides an open development environment so customers will be able to add innovative
`functionality as it becomes available from service operators, software developers and Nokia. Nokia is actively working
`with the number of third-party companies to develop connectivity and value-added solutions that will provide customized
`business tools for vertical market applications.
`
`The Nokia 9000i Communicator is much more than a full-featured digital phone. In addition to voice calls, it enables the
`user to send and receive faxes, e-mail and short messages, as well as access Internet services and corporate and
`public databases. Other applications include an electronic calendar, address book, notepad and calculator.
`
`All the applications in the Nokia 9000i Communicator have the same innovative user interface. The applications work
`together and can be accessed with the push of a button. When the keyboard is closed, the Nokia 9000i Communicator
`can be used as a digital cellular phone. When the communicator’s keyboard is open, the speakerphone activates,
`allowing the user to view documents from the LCD screen while speaking.
`
`The Nokia 9000i Communicator provides up to 3,5 hours of talk, fax or data time, or up to 33 hours of standby time. If
`the phone is switched off, the Nokia 9000i Communicator is able to standby for a week without being recharged. Data
`will not be lost even if the main battery runs out.
`
`The Nokia 9000 Communicator was originally introduced to the GSM market in 1996. It is currently sold in more than 30
`GSM 900/1800/1900 markets worldwide and it has won numerous international awards based on its innovative,
`revolutionary, but yet user-friendly concept.
`
`Headquartered in Finland, Nokia is a leader in digital technologies including mobile phones, cellular and fixed
`telecommunications networks, wireless data solutions and multimedia terminals. With sales in approximately 130
`countries, net sales totaled $8.5 billion in 1996. Nokia employs more than 36,000 people in 45 countries. Nokia’s shares
`are listed in Helsinki, New York, London, Stockholm, Frankfurt and Paris.
