Nokia today introduced a new handset for the NMT 450 standard. The Nokia 550 is the smallest and the lightest NMT 450 phone in the market. In spite of its light weight, the Nokia 550 has superior operating times and many new features. The product is now available in the NMT 450 markets.
The new features of the Nokia 550 include 12 ringing tones, 24 language options, large graphic display with scaleable font size and one-touch voice mail dialing.
