Nokia 6680: 'Best in Class' 3G WCDMA device
Espoo, Finland - The Nokia 6680 imaging smartphone is the new 'Best
in Class' 3G device according to a report by Strategy Analytics. Four
leading 3G devices currently available on the Western European market
were rated by Strategy Analytics' Advanced Wireless Laboratory (AWL)
panels in London, UK and Milan, Italy.
Each device was assessed on the basis of four categories: Video
Features, User Interface & Input, Display, and Style/Design. The
Nokia 6680 smartphone achieved the highest individual rating in two
categories, Display and Style/Design, as well as a joint highest
score for User Interface. The Nokia 6680 was also the only device to
score above the mean score across all four categories.
"This acknowledgment underscores Nokia's leadership in 3G devices,"
said Joe Coles, Director of imaging product marketing at Nokia. "The
Nokia 6680 is an example of an engineering masterpiece that offers
very sophisticated technology combined with ease of use and extremely
desirable design. Devices like it pave the way for transforming the
way people live, work, play and communicate."
Kevin Nolan, Director of Strategy Analytics' Advanced Wireless
Laboratory commented: "As handset manufacturers compete to launch
compelling devices that will meet the demands of the advanced buyers
who will drive multimedia content consumption across 3G networks, the
Nokia 6680 has set a new standard for performance in terms of
usability and device size and style."
Particularly in the Style/Design category, the Nokia 6680 scored well
ahead of the others. When asked which of the four devices they would
consider the "coolest", 98% of the research participants nominated
the Nokia 6680. Users were also virtually unanimous in praising the
clarity, resolution and brightness of the Nokia 6680 smartphone's
display.
Within the User Interface category, the majority of users considered
the menu system on the Nokia 6680 to be "logical and easy to use".
The Nokia 6680 scored highest for 'Configuration and Usability of
Hot-Buttons' and 'Ease of switching between text options'. Panel
users also found the simple camera activation mechanism of the Nokia
6680 very appealing. Furthermore, according to the report, those who
explored the additional imaging applications were impressed by the
full range of features on the device.
Optimized for visual sharing, the Nokia 6680 imaging smartphone
boasts a wide array of features including two integrated cameras, a
flash, the Nokia XpressPrint printing solution, an active slide for
easy camera activation and a bright screen of up to 262,144 colors.
Smartphone features, including organizer, video streaming, Internet
browser, and email, are further complemented by 3G-enabled services,
such as two-way video calling and video sharing, making the
well-designed Nokia 6680 a versatile work tool.
The Nokia 6680 imaging smartphone is now widely available in markets
across Europe, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. A full list of the
smartphone's features is available at www.nokia.com/6680.
