HELSINKI, Finland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 2003--

Nokia 3660 and Nokia 3620 Camera Phones Offer 65,500 Color Screen, Stylish Keymat, Xpress-on(TM) Covers

Building on the success of the Nokia 3650, the company's top-selling imaging phone launched last year, Nokia is now introducing the Nokia 3660 and Nokia 3620 which further expand the company's imaging portfolio and extends the imaging experience to a wider consumer segment. In addition to an integrated high-resolution VGA camera for still picture and video capture, a video player and multimedia messaging (MMS) functionality, the Nokia 3660 and Nokia 3620 feature a 65,500 color display, a stylish key mat design, and a new range of Xpress-on(TM) covers. The tri-band Nokia 3660 (GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900) is primarily for the European, Middle-East and Asia Pacific markets while the Nokia 3620 (GSM/GPRS 850/1900) phone is primarily for the Americas. Shipping is expected to begin during the fourth quarter of 2003.
