Nokia has announced that, for this year's Consumer Electronics Show, it plans to include the showcasing of a wide portfolio of mobile devices, among which the coveted Nokia N97 mobile computer, along with the award-winning Nokia E71 and a series of new products that are meant for the North American market.

The stylish, functional and impressive converged Nokia N97 mobile computer is stated to also make its debut on the US market at CES 2009. Other devices announced for demonstration at the show include the Nokia 1006, Nokia 7510 and Nokia E63, also set for release on the market in North America.

Nokia 1006 is the latest CDMA device offered for AWS carriers and is reported to have been developed in the company's San Diego product creation center. It features an ergonomic design and offers convenience while on the go. It comes with a large, bright color display, voice memo, speakerphone, as well as a phonebook capable of holding 500 entries. The new curved sleek device will be made available in blue and silver.

“Nokia continues to connect more people around the world than any other mobile device manufacturer on the planet. More importantly, we continue to raise the bar with compelling mobile experiences,” said Mark Louison, president, North America, Nokia Inc. “This week at CES, Nokia is demonstrating our leadership by again setting the industry benchmark – with a wide range of devices that are easy-to-use, with fun and collaborative services that consumers demand, like music, gaming, maps and media. It's an exciting time in our industry and we look forward to bringing more of these experiences to life in North America this year.”
The company announced that, at CES, it would also showcase a series of new technology advancements meant to enhance the user experience as well as to help consumers make environmentally-intelligent choices. The demonstrations include the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) protocol, Easy Meet, a mobile communication and collaboration system allowing web conferences to be held from anywhere at any given moment. As a means to show its commitment for environmentally-friendly practices, Nokia has played the role of the worldwide sponsor of “Wild Ocean,” an underwater movie that shows how people can protect the environment.

“Nokia continues to be at the forefront of driving 'green thinking' and helping consumers make environmentally intelligent choices. We strive to educate consumers on options for recycling their old mobile phones, and at CES 2009 we will demonstrate the new Nokia Carbon Calculator – a mobile application that encourages users of devices, such as the new Nokia 6650 with AT&T, to offset the carbon footprint of their travels,” said David Conrad, head of Environment, Nokia North America.

“In addition to our green initiatives, education is also playing an important role, and our sponsorship of the film Wild Ocean is just another way in which we hope to educate the world that if we each do our part, we as a community can make a difference, making the planet a cleaner, greener and better place to live,” Conrad also added. iphone skal
