Electronics are a far cry from paper, rubber and cables, yet those are the industries from which Nokia was formed in 1967. The company produced its first portable phone, the Mobira Talkman, in 1984 and, following the launch of Global System for Mobile Communications technology in 1991, Nokia introduced its first cellphone, the Nokia 1011, in 1992. A long line of subsequent models have come and gone since, including the Nokia 5070.
Dimensions, Display and Power
Released in 2007, the Nokia 5070 candy-bar style cellphone measures 4.2 inches tall, 1.7 inches wide, 0.7 inches thick and weighs 3.1 oz. Its 1.9-inch color super twist nematic screen displays 65,000 colors at 128 by 160 pixels of resolution. When fully charged, the phone's standard lithium ion battery holds 860 milliamp hours of energy that provide up to 300 hours of standby and 3.5 hours of talk time.
Internal Components
Equipped with 4MB of internal memory, the Nokia 5070 does not offer the option of expandable memory. It does, however, connect to the 2G network using the GSM 850, 1800 and 1900 frequency bands. The phone accesses the Internet using a Wireless Application Protocol 2.0/xHTML browser that features homepage, history and bookmark functions. Built-in multimedia features include a digital music player, an FM stereo radio, a video player and a digital camera.
Camera and Messaging
The Nokia 5070's digital camera captures images at 640 by 480 pixels of resolution using Video Graphics Array technology and is capable of video recording at 128 by 96 pixels of resolution. Messaging formats supported by the 5070 include short message service, multimedia messaging service, email and instant messaging. SMS messages are text-only and limited to 140 characters, while MMS messages support video and voice. Email service is provided to the phone via the Post Office Protocol or Internet Message Access Protocol servers. Instant messages are simple text notes sent to users who are online.
Miscellaneous
Java-based applications that are included with the Nokia 5070 include a push-to-talk feature, predictive text input, organizer and voice-activated calling. The push-to-talk feature enables the phone to be used as a two-way radio, providing direct voice communication. Personal computer connectivity is made with the 5070 through a USB cable connection and the Nokia PC Suite software that allows organizer application data, such as contacts, calendar and to-do lists, the be synchronized. Available in red and blue, the Nokia 5070 maintains records for up to 20 missed, dialed and received calls.
