September 23, 1998

from flowers and flags to stripes and animals.

HOW: The Xpress-On covers are used only with the new Nokia 5100 series of digital phones, the first digital phones that allow consumers a true choice of color. Users can change different color covers - just snap on and snap off - in a matter of seconds and without any tools.
More than just a fashionable phone, the Nokia 5100 series also packs consumer-minded options into its sleek styling.
The new series of digital wireless phones features an alarm clock, three standard electronic games and a battery
offering more than a week of stand-by time with- out needing a charge.
