Nokia's 'new toy' in the playground
With mind-blistering colours, chart-booster music and flashing lights at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon ballroom, Nokia launched its new top-of-the-line handset the Nokia X6 and the new web portal on February 18.
The event styled "Welcome to the Nokia Playground" was a showcase to launch the handset with four experience booths, which were giving the invitees the real experience of the handset and the new web portal.
The new Nokia X6 has a 16:9 wide screen optimised for photos, videos and browsing. It offers easy access to social networks like Facebook and Twitter and capable of playing up to 35 hours with music using 16 GB onboard memory. It has a slick 3.2 finger touch interface that allows users to play games using only the touch feature and a five-mega pixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens. The Nokia X6 could be pre-ordered from one of the experience booths.
The web portal www.nowplaying.nokia.com.bd was featured in one of the experience booths, where invitees could go and sample the portal that is designed not only for music, but also for entertainment such as games and application from Ovi Store. Famous Bangladeshi musicians Fuad and Feedback have partnered with Nokia, giving music fans a chance to be connected with them through their blogs at the portal.
"The essence of Nokia has always been connecting people to their passions. We are all about enabling everyone to make the most of every moment," Prem Chand, general manager of Nokia Emerging Asia, said.
"We want to facilitate the famous Bangladeshi culture 'adda' with the portal," said the GM.
Priced at Tk 30,800, the pre-order offer for the Nokia X6 started from February 19 and will continue till March 10 this year. The first fifty consumers, who make pre-order from Nokia stores in Bashundhara City, Gulshan and Uttara, will win the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-503. The handset will be available from March 2010.
The night was marked by live performances by Fuad and Feedback.
