Espoo, Finland - On the bank of Iceland's world-famous Blue Lagoon,
the Nokia 5500 Sport leaped into the world arena, displaying its
sleek, sporty design with an athletic lifestyle appeal. The Nokia
5500 Sport features all the technology that every active-minded
consumer needs, and is specially designed to withstand the daily
rigours of work and work-out.
"The Nokia 5500 Sport combines the passion and spirit of sports with
the latest in mobile communications. It's an ideal companion for an
active, urban lifestyle," says Heikki Norta, Senior Vice President,
Mobile Phones, Nokia. "There is a very sizeable audience of consumers
who demand sport-inspired products, even if they are not professional
athletes themselves. The Nokia 5500 Sport offers these consumers a
mobile phone suited to their specific needs - during a jog in the
park, a day at the beach and even that dress-to-impress first date."
A mode to match your mood
A single button serves to activate three dedicated "modes" - a phone
mode to stay in touch, the music mode to unwind or power-up, and the
sports mode to help you break a sweat. The Nokia 5500 Sport also
offers "text-to-speech" technology. Don't take your eyes off the
track or that magazine, just tap the Nokia 5500 Sport and the message
is read out to you. In sports mode, the Nokia 5500 Sport reads the
status of your workout, allowing you to stay focused on the task, or
the excercise, at hand.
When music is on your mind, the Nokia 5500 Sport gives you a jump
start. Supporting a multitude of different digital music formats and
memory cards of up to 1GB (microSD), the Nokia 5500 Sport can hold
approximately 750 songs. With your music collection in hand, every
activity has its own soundtrack!
Switched into sports mode, the Nokia 5500 Sport helps you keep track
of work or your work-out. The integrated pedometer feature serves to
monitor distance walked or calories burnt -during a busy day in the
city or that breathtaking cardio session. For extra durability, the
Nokia 5500 Sport features an ergonomic stainless steel casing,
complemented by a splash and dust resistant shell and rubber
grips.The sleek Nokia 5500 Sport is engineered with materials used in
the latest high performance running shoes which make it look good on
and off the court.
The triband Nokia 5500 Sport (GSM 900/1800/1900) is scheduled to
sprint into stores during the summer (3rd quarter) of 2006 and is
expected to retail for around 300 EUR before taxes and subsidies.

No but they send me every press release under the sun. I only post the news if it relates to a new phone that someone may actually be interested in.
