Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition - Always on the Right Track
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced the latest addition to its family
of "Active" phones with the introduction of the Nokia 5500 Sport Music
Edition. Adding to the well-received concept of the Nokia 5500 Sport, the
Music Edition is enhanced with a 512 MB microSD card for enjoying up to
375 songs, as well as a fitness carrying strap, bicycle holder and
sports headset packed in a new energetic color.
"Music is a great source of energy and inspiration for many - during a
workout, a fitness routine, or just relaxing," says Antti Koivula,
Director of Lifestyle Products at Nokia. "To complement its sporty and
fitness-inspired design, the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition offers an
expanded range of music features and bears the Nokia XpressMusic
feature brand which guarantees an outstanding mobile music experience."
The innovative carrying strap of the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition
allows it to be worn around the waist or strapped around an arm to ensure
that the handset stays in place, even during vigorous exercise. The
sports headset also offers handsfree convenience for music and
conversation with an anatomically engineered, over-the-ear design. For a
complete music experience, the Nokia Music Manager application makes
music transfer in multitude of different digital music formats from
your PC easy and convenient.
As a sports companion, the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition packs a lot
more than just music.
Featuring an integrated pedometer, this "smartphone with a six-pack" lets
users know the distance travelled and calories burned during a run. Other
activities, such as a bicycle tour or cross-country skiing can also
monitor distance and calories with an optional GPS module. Results of
workout routines can then be transferred from the Nokia 5500 Sport
Music Edition to a PC to follow individual progress.
When it comes to messaging features, the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition
is as versatile as a decathlete. With the press of a single button to
activate three dedicated "modes", the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition can
switch from a phone mode to stay in touch, a music mode to relax or
energize, and a sports mode to help users go the extra mile. With a
high-powered smartphone at heart, the handset can even support text-to-
speech technology. With two taps, the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition
reads an SMS aloud. A 2 megapixel camera completes the well-rounded
feature set of the Nokia 5500 Music Edition.
The triband Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition (GSM 900/1800/1900) is now
available in select shops around Europe. The expected retail price
before taxes and subsidies is approximately 350 EUR.
