The Nokia 9110i Communicator offers WAP services to the large community of knowledge workers
(February 23, 2000)
Nokia complements the range of its WAP enabled products by introducing the Nokia
9110i Communicator supporting WAP (Wireless Application Protocol). Also, users of
the existing Nokia 9110 Communicators will be able to upgrade their devices to be
WAP compatible with an accessory package. The enhanced Nokia 9110i Communicator
was introduced at CeBIT 2000 in Hanover, Germany and at the Nokia - Designed for
Life event in Hong Kong. The Nokia 9110i Communicator will be available during the
third quarter of 2000. An upgrade for the Nokia 9110 Communicators providing the
same new functionality will be available at the same time.
"The Nokia 9110i Communicator will continue to support the Internet browsing and
e-mail services, but the add-on WAP application will provide users with access to
a new emerging group of mobile Internet services. The large display and the keyboard
function of the communicator are ideal for WAP based services with graphics and
tables. Services, such as mobile banking, news and various corporate Intranet applications,
will be particularly fast and convenient to use with the Nokia 9110i Communicator,"
said Søren Jenry Petersen, Vice President, Cellular Mobile Telephones, Nokia Mobile
Phones.
The Nokia 9110i Communicator will also support the Quick Imaging and Find applications
as new add-on software. To enhance the usability and functionality, the Nokia 9110i
Communicator will have the Outlook 2000 support for PC Suite. It will also provide
the MacSuite software for transferring information and software between communicators
and Macintosh computers. Both of these software add-ons will also be available for
current Nokia 9110 Communicator users.
The Nokia 9110i Communicator is a multipurpose communication tool combining the
GSM 900 phone with data communication capabilities, including telefax, Internet,
WAP, e-mail, wireless imaging, short messages and organizer functions. In addition,
the large base of the third party software enables new solutions to accommodate
corporate needs. A list of the applications can be found at: http://www.forum.nokia.com/developers/communicators/download/9110/s_applguide.pdf
