Nokia saves the world in "Armageddon" this summer with the Nokia 6100 Series
July 09, 1998
Nokia, one of the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers, is proud to announce the feature of one of its most stylish mobile phones - the Nokia 6100 series - in Disney's Touchstone Pictures' summer blockbuster "Armageddon."
Nokia has linked with "Armageddon," a suspense thriller starring Bruce Willis, to showcase the Nokia 6100 series phone as it plays a crucial role in the movie's plot to save the world. In the movie, an asteroid the size of Texas is heading directly towards earth at 22,000 miles per hour. NASA's only option is to send a crew to destroy the asteroid. On this heroic journey, the crew faces the most physically and emotionally challenging conditions ever encountered to save the world and prevent Armageddon. The Nokia 6100 series phone plays an integral part in the movie's action when it delivers a crucial text message to NASA's crew on its large LCD screen to help prevent the pending disaster.
Touchstone Pictures chose the Nokia 6100 series of mobile phones because of its tremendous communications capabilities combined with state-of-the-art styling. True to Nokia's heritage of delivering products based on human technology and from observations of people and their needs, the Nokia 6100 offers unique profile settings - outdoor, meeting, pager, silent and general. The profile settings when combined with priority grouping give users complete control of which calls they choose to receive.
Outstanding talk (5 hours) and standby times (up to 270 hours) and features such as 30 ringing tones, full data capabilities, a built-in calculator and three games - Snake, Logic, and Memory - put the Nokia 6100 series galaxies beyond traditional cellular products.
At more than 100 million units, mobile phones were the world's largest volume consumer electronics product sold in 1997.
Headquartered in Finland, Nokia is a broad-scope telecommunications company supplying mobile phones, mobile and fixed telecommunications networks, data communications solutions, multimedia terminals and computer monitors. With sales in 130 countries, net sales totalled FIM 52.6 billion ($9.8 billion) in 1997. Nokia employs more than 38,000 people worldwide.
