Nokia Delivers Trend Setting Style to a Traditional Category
September 09, 1996
Nokia 239 redefines the status quo by offering consumers a stylish alternative in a phone category long dominated by flat blacks and grays
Nokia, Europe’s largest manufacturer of cellular phones, today introduced the Nokia 239, its first AMPS cellular phone to incorporate a stylish front keypad cover.
Nokia, the company that changed the thinking of the world with its color cellular phones, sent their designers back to their styling studio to complement the award winning design of the Nokia 232 by integrating a truly beautiful keypad option. The result of their work is the Nokia 239.
Keeping with Nokia tradition, the beauty of this phone is more than skin deep, beginning with its large 16-character display with permanent signal and battery strength indicators, four 'one-touch' dialing keys for instant access to emergency services, voice mail, frequently called numbers and the famous user-friendly Nokia menu interface. In addition, the 239 is data-ready via an optional cable that enables you to connect the phone to any compatible PCMCIA modem card, allowing you to send and receive faxes, data and e-mail via the cellular network. The phone also comes with a wide range of battery and charging options, including a hands-free car kit with a 3-watt power booster.
In its standard configuration with a 550 mAh NiMH battery, the Nokia 239 weighs 7.9 ounces, provides 1 hour 10 minutes of talk time and 15 hours of standby time. Optional NiCd and NiMH slim and ultra extended battery packs are available that provide up to 2.5 hours of talk time and 32 hours of standby time.
- With the 239, Nokia addresses the needs of those customers who desire the look and feel of a fold-down keypad cover without sacrificing the powerful features, friendly user interface, and colorful style that they have come to expect with a Nokia Phone, said John Ferrari, product marketing specialist for Nokia Mobile Phones, Inc., a unit of Nokia, Inc., the US subsidiary of Finland-based Nokia.
