Nokia Rings In The School Year With Music/Messaging Phone

If Nokia has anything to say about it, kids will decide a wireless handset integrating music and messaging is something they can't leave home without, according to Wireless Week via Moco News.

"The Nokia 3300 music phone sports an MP3/AAC player, FM stereo radio and a full messaging keypad. The FM stereo offers 20 preset stations and up to 10 hours of music play. When a call comes in, the player will pause the music and return to the same beat when the call ends.

Nokia plans to add a RealNetworks' RealOne plug-in to enable users to manage their music, burn CDs, record MP3 files and gain access to RealOne's jukebox functions. When available, the RealOne plug-in will be available for download free-of-charge via real.com.

The music phone is available at Cingular retail stores and nokia.com/us. Nokia expects to offer the handset through more carriers across North America and South America in the near future".
