New Nokia Mobile

I was waiting for a bus in leicester the other day and noticed the advertisement on the bus stop for the new nokia phone, Nokia N95. The slogan was something like 'It's a GPS. It's camera. It's an MP3 player. It's a WiFi. Its a mobile." Something along those lines anyway.
But it just struck me how much we can actually fit into a device that is precisely 99mm tall, 53mm wide and 21mm thick.
The features include:

  • 20x zoom
  • 5 Megapixel camera
  • Autofocus
  • Bluetooth technology
  • Carl Zeiss lens
  • chat menu
  • conference calling
  • dual band on 3G
  • email
  • external memory MicroSD
  • FM Radio
  • infrared connection
  • Java™ capable
  • MP3 & AAC player
  • quad band technology
  • speaker phone
  • Symbian Series 60 9.2 operating system
  • Video Calling
  • video capture
  • Video download
  • Video Messaging
  • Video playback

This is obvioulsy a great example of convergence, the combining of technologies. Here, Nokia have encorporated not only a camera into their phone, but an MP3 Player, eMail, video messaging and calling, radio and a speaker phone. Let us not forget that this phone weighs no more than 120g.
