Nokia sees red in radio handsets

Music fans will give an instant verdict on the latest hits when Nokia launches handsets with an interactive Visual Radio service next year, reports The Times Online.

"Virgin Radio is the first British station to sign up to the service, which brings the “red button” digital television functionality to radio.

Listeners will be able to make instant purchases of polyphonic ringtones of records being played when the touch-screen Nokia 7700 handset arrives in Britain next year. Radio stations will send advertisements directly to listeners' phones."
