Nokia 5500 Sport phone announced

Fri, 12 May 2006

The world's largest handset maker, Nokia, unveiled a new sport focused mobile phone today, the Nokia 5500 Sport that promises to feature all the technology that every active-minded consumer needs, and is specially designed to withstand the daily rigours of work and workout.

The Nokia 5500 Sport features a single button to activate three dedicated "modes" - a phone mode to stay in touch, the music mode to unwind or power-up, and the sports mode to help you break a sweat.

The Nokia 5500 Sport also offers "text-to-speech" technology so that you can just tap the phone and the message is read out to you. In sports mode, the Nokia 5500 Sport reads the status of your workout. Supporting a multitude of different digital music formats and memory cards of up to 1GB (microSD), the Nokia 5500 Sport can hold approximately 750 songs.

The phone includes a sports mode, which can be used to monitor distances walked, or calories burnt during a workout.

The triband Nokia 5500 Sport (GSM 900/1800/1900) is scheduled to sprint into stores during the summer (3rd quarter) of 2006 and is expected to retail for around £200 before taxes and subsidies.
