‘3G’ stands for the ‘third generation’ of mobile technology. But what does that actually mean for your everyday life? Basically speaking, 3G is a much faster and more enhanced way of getting entertainment, news and information to your phone - so you can enjoy exciting services like live video streaming, seamless messaging, anytime social networking and super-fast downloads of files and images.
Messaging and social networking
3G brings a new level of convenience to your everyday communications.
Which means you can pick up all your email in one place with Nokia Messaging, Gmail, Yahoo! and Hotmail; chat in real time, enjoy face to face conversations with video calling, and stay connected to your office using Exchange or Lotus.
Social networking really comes alive on 3G too - share your world on Facebook, tell your friends what you’re up to, and see what they’re doing at a single touch.
Audio and video
News, sport, your favourite TV shows - with live TV on your Nokia 3G phone you’ll never miss your favourite TV programs. You can also download all the music you want almost instantaneously; listen online or download songs in seconds and find all your favourite tracks on Nokia Music Store - with over 4 million tracks to choose from!
Faster browsing and downloads
3G makes it possible to do so much more on your Nokia mobile device.
You can send almost any kind of data, including graphics, documents, audio and video content - many times faster than on 2G networks. Not only can you do more, you can do it faster too. 3G enables speedier browsing, and high-speed video streaming and audio downloads.
Why choose a Nokia 3G phone?
To really experience the full benefit of 3G, it’s best to choose a device that has been designed to make the most of the technology.
For instance, most Nokia 3G devices include a secondary camera for video calling so you can be sure to get an even closer connection with your friends and family. And if gaming is your passion, you’ll find all kinds of high intensity action games performing at their very best on a Nokia 3G device - including multiplayer games with features you won’t find anywhere else.
