At the annual Nokia Mobility Conference in Monaco and the Destination Nokia event held in Bangkok, Thailand, Nokia today broadened its mid-range portfolio with the introduction of the new Nokia 6020 camera phone. With a subtle and practical design, the Nokia 6020 features a broad set of contemporary technologies for personal and business demands. The tri-band Nokia 6020 will be available in two versions: an EGSM 900 GSM 1800/1900 primarily targeted for European and Asian markets, and the GSM 850/ 1800/1900 version for the Americas. Shipments of the Nokia 6020 are expected to start in the first quarter of 2005. The unsubsidized retail price excluding taxes is estimated to be around ¤200.

"The Nokia 6020 is a compelling new addition to Nokia's strong portfolio of mid-range, business-focused mobile phones," says Aage Snorgaard, Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia. "The robust feature set of the Nokia 6020 is nicely complemented by a subtle, classical design, offering consumers an affordable, reliable business tool for any occasion."
