Nokia Debuts New Light-Up Camera Phone

May 31, 2004, 11:41 AM by (staff)

Nokia today announced the 3220 camera phone and a new Xpress-on™ Fun Shell accessory. The 3220 is a tri-band GSM phone with pulsating light effects, custom cut-out covers, and a VGA camera that records video clips. The 3220 is also Nokia's first mass-market phone with a 65,536-color active-matrix LCD display. The optional Xpress-on™ Fun Shell for the 3220 adds a tilt sensor for controlling games, and Light Messaging, which allows users to "write" a message in mid-air by waving the phone side to side. The 3220 and Fun Shell will be available globally this summer, including a GSM 850/1800/1900 version for the Americas.

I see a lawsuit.....

....I just got knocked unconcious by someone doing light messaging! He was typing an R and smacked me right in my head! 😁

Seriously though, I would feel funny waving the phone around in public.... especially with all this homeland security stuff, you'd probably be tackled if you tried it on the subway. 😁

WOW, first nokia phone marketed to kindergardeners!!!

It's always been known that Nokia tends to the teenage crowd with its changeable covers and colorful phones, but this is ridiculous. What's next a joint venture with Crayola or maybe Pokemon. Hahaha, you have to laugh. When will Nokia mass produce a well-designed, sleek, slim flip phone for the business professional?

Lights and more

Call me a kid or whatever but Nokia makes the coolest phones regardless and push the envelope on designing different types of bar phones for different people. "Light Messaging" just sounds cool and it reminds me of a circus. In response to another comment, Nokia makes business type phones that work better than flip phones. (No need to mention Motorola here) But a businessman will choose a flip because of the size, and then go back to the store a month later swearing he should have gone a with the Nokia because the service on the flip isn't good. That's been a big thing in West Texas because of rural areas where the service already sucks. Anyway, the phone looks great and the only thing stopping me from purchasing it, any phone for that matte...
