AT&T today announced the availability of the Nokia 6555, a new handset engineered to take advantage of AT&T's high speed 3G network. A unique "smoothback" design, which eliminates the sharp edge found at the hinge of most conventional folding phones, makes the Nokia 6555 phone both comfortable to hold.

Exclusively available in the U.S. from AT&T, the Nokia 6555 makes it easy to access AT&T services via dedicated function keys. By pressing the CV key, users can access AT&T's streaming video content service, which includes local weather forecasts, sports and entertainment and broadcasts from leading cable news outlets - all displayed on a 16 million color QVGA screen. The dedicated AT&T MEdia Net key provides an immediate connection to Internet content, ranging from financial news and sports scores to movie times and reviews or the latest ringtones and mobile games.

Music fans will have access to the AT&T Mobile Music, including subscription services from Napster and eMusic, music videos, MusicID song recognition, "The Buzz" music news portal, XM Radio Mobile and more. The included music player and microSD card slot lets owners store and enjoy thousands of digital music tracks on an optional 2 GB memory card.

Staying in contact with friends and family through voice calls, text and photo messages is made easy with included push-to-talk functionality, an integrated instant message client and a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera and video recorder to capture and share special moments. Bluetooth technology makes it convenient to connect to PCs, wireless headsets and speakers, as well as an increasing number of vehicles that come with built-in wireless hands-free capability. The analog clock standby mode adds an additional touch of elegance to the Nokia 6555 phone's design.
