Siemens’ SX1 changes the face of mobile phones
Powerful mix of features and applications packed into unique, beautiful
design
Siemens Information and Communication Mobile (Siemens
mobile) launched an instant design classic today with its next
generation mobile phone, the SX1, at the 3GSM World Congress
2003 in Cannes. A unique keypad arrangement, outstanding
design and the world’s most powerful suite of features and
applications for its size set the SX1 apart from other handsets -
perfect for the most demanding mobile phone consumers.
The SX1 has strips of keys built in to each side of the phone, instead of an
ordinary keypad, to give it a sleek shape. This design innovation also shifts
the large, 64K color high-resolution screen into the center of the device
without compromising overall size as the SX1 only weighs 110 grams.
Embedded discreetly underneath the screen are central navigation keys
which help make the features of the SX1 even easier to navigate in the
usual portrait mode or, if the application supports it, in landscape mode.
Powerful as it is beautiful, the SX1 hosts the ultimate entertainment and
business package. Features packed into a slender 99cm volume frame
include: built-in video player, camcorder, music player and FM radio; rich
unlimited gaming supported by Series60 or Java (J2ME); full set of business
applications directly comparable to a normal PDA, including local and
wireless synch. By combining the latest entertainment and business
technology, the SX1 is perfect for those who ‘work hard, play harder’.
Peter Zapf, President of Mobile Phones within the Siemens Information and
Communication Mobile Group, said: “This is another exciting world first for
Siemens mobile. A unique design with the power to match its beauty, we
believe the SX1 will build on the huge success of the SL45i, our
breakthrough mobile MP3 phone. The SX1 is perfect for truly demanding
consumers who want to make the most of 2.5G services like video MMS
and over-the-air (OTA) downloads of applications and content. It is the
new standard for next generation phones.”
Built on the open-source Symbian platform, the SX1 features a tailored
Siemens mobile version of the Series 60 interface and application platform.
This enables ease of use and also lets consumers personalize their
phones with a huge choice of downloadable content and applications. The
SX1 will be available throughout Europe and Asia within the first half of
2003.
The Siemens Information and Communication Mobile Group
(Siemens mobile) offers the complete range of mobile solutions including
mobile devices, infrastructure and applications. Devices include mobile
phones, fashion accessory phones, wireless modules, mobile organizers
