ESPOO, Finland—Nokia Corp. has launched the Nokia 6670 imaging smart phone for mobile professionals around the world.
The Symbian operating system-based GSM phone will come in two versions—one for the Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia markets and another for the Americas markets.
The device features a 1-megapixel camera with four-times digital zoom, a photo editor application, document viewers for reading e-mail attachments, personal information management capabilities, a Web browser with support for PDF files, Bluetooth technology and the Nokia Wireless Keyboard for faster data input.
