Nokia tilts @ Blackberry again

THE LATEST SYMBIAN smartphone from Nokia, the 6670 goes directly up against dedicated email terminals such as the latest RIM Blackberry 7100 by offering support for a wireless keyboard.

The Nokia 6670 offers document viewers for reading email attachments, personal information management (PIM) features, plus a web browser with support for PDF files. The 6670 communicates with the foldable Nokia Wireless Keyboard via Bluetooth and users can also print documents wirelessly via Bluetooth too.

Other important enterprise features include being the first Series 60 product to support mobile antivirus software developed by F-Secure. Security can be further reinforced via the Nokia Mobile VPN client.

Announced at the same time was Nokia Wireless GPS Module which enables the use of a range of location-based applications and services via Bluetooth. There are two tri-band versions - one for Asia/Europe and the other for North America.

The 6670 should ship next month [October 2004].µ
