Nokia today unveiled a new mobile phone aimed at sports fans. The new Nokia 5500 Sport offers a durable and sporty design to withstand the daily rigors of work and work-out.
A single button serves 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 break a sweat.The Nokia 5500 Sport also offers "text-to-speech" technology so users don't need to take their eyes off the track or magazine. Tapping the 5500 reads the message out loud. In sports mode, the 5500 reads workout status, allowing users to stay focused on the exercise at hand. When music is needed, the Nokia 5500 Sport gives consumers a jump start. Supporting a multitude of different digital music formats and memory cards of up to 1 GB (microSD), the Nokia 5500 Sport can hold approximately 750 songs. Switched into sports mode, the 5500 helps users keep track of work or the work-out. The integrated pedometer feature serves to monitor distance walked or calories burnt - during a busy day in the city or that breathtaking cardio session. For extra durability, the Nokia 5500 Sport features an ergonomic stainless steel casing, complemented by a splash and dust resistant shell and rubber grips. The sleek Nokia 5500 Sport is engineered with materials used in the latest high performance running shoes which make it look good on and off the court. The tri-band Nokia 5500 Sport (GSM 900/1800/1900) is scheduled to sprint into European stores during the summer (3rd quarter) of 2006 and is expected to retail for around 300 EUR before taxes and subsidies. - Nokia 5500 Sport Specs
