New Qt-powered Nokia 603 smartphone packs Symbian Belle and NFC capabilities
jasonblack | 13 October, 2011 15:31
Today Nokia announced the Nokia 603, a powerful, colorful, affordable smartphone with Symbian Belle software* and built-in NFC capabilities. Adding to the previously announced line-up of Nokia smartphones that feature Symbian Belle software, this device comes preloaded with the latest social networking apps and games.
We anticipate this phone will appeal to first-time smartphone buyers, as well as those upgrading from older products, particularly current users of Nokia smartphones who will be interested in a device that shows off the latest technology and features in a package that is uniquely Nokia.
What can you expect from the Nokia 603? This Qt-powered smartphone features a compact design with 3.5" TFT capacitive ClearBlack touch display optimised for use in sunlight; 5 megapixel full focus camera with LED flash; On Demand WebTV; internal Radio antenna; A-GPS with Nokia Maps; up to six customizable home screens and dynamic live widgets for improved personalisation of your content.
The phone’s NFC functionality allows contacts, videos and images to be shared with other NFC-enabled devices and smartphones, as well as pairing with NFC-enabled accessories such as the Nokia Luna, a new in-ear Bluetooth headset that we also announced today. If you want to get started using NFC, you can now order an NFC device kit for testing purposes. And if you want to know more about NFC in general, you can visit our NFC developer pages.
For those of you who are planning to develop content for this new phone, interfaces include Qt 4.7, Java Runtime 2.3, Bluetooth 3.0 and Flash Lite 4.0.
Using Qt, Qt Quick and the ready-made Qt Quick components you can easily create engaging applications with a native look and feel and provide a faster and better user experience. The Qt Connectivity module will allow you to develop on NFC and Bluetooth.
Using Qt, you will not only reach new users of Symbian Belle smartphones like the Nokia 603, but you will continue to reach myriad Symbian users around the world today, as well as the many more Symbian devices that we plan to ship in the future and of course the recently shipping Nokia N9. And, as we have stated previously, Nokia will make Qt core to bringing applications to the next billion, too.
Get information about the online update for Qt SDK 1.1.3; as well as information about porting apps from Android to Qt and from iOS to Qt.
Priced at EUR 200, the Nokia 603 is available in black and white with a choice of back covers in six different colors: black, white, fuchsia, green, yellow and blue. The phone is expected to begin shipping in the fourth quarter of 2011. For more information about the Nokia 603, please have a look at the device specifications page or visit: www.nokia.com/603
*As a reminder, Symbian Belle is the latest in a series of updates that began with Symbian Anna (currently being delivered to in-market Symbian smartphones) and will continue into next year. Nokia has committed to provide software support for Symbian until at least 2016, so those who buy Symbian smartphones over the next few years do not need to be concerned about support ending for their phones.
