Quotes
Telstra Product Management Executive Director, Ross Fielding:
The new Nokia 6720's superior coverage performance has earned it a Telstra BlueTick, making it the perfect mobile for people who work, live or visit regional and rural coverage areas. When you combine this with strong email, camera, music and mobile internet capabilities you get a quality all-rounder mobile phone.
The mobile data experience on this phone is fast when it's teamed with Telstra's Next G™ network. Fast data speeds mean consumer customers can access mobile email - a great way to stay connected on the go - easily thanks to fast page loads. Meanwhile business professionals can stay on top of their email, appointments and tasks by connecting this mobile to their corporate email via a Microsoft ActiveSync service.
The Nokia 6720 makes sharing the moment easier too. Customers get an advanced camera capable of taking high-quality shots in a range of environments. And with fast data speeds customers can email the photos they've taken to friends and family while out and about.
We think the Nokia 6720 classic on the Next G™ network will be extremely popular as we head into the holiday season.
