Nokia introduced its first imaging “smartphone” for the Americas market optimized for use on new high-speed EDGE networks. The Nokia 6620 imaging phone employs a 65,000 color TFT screen for viewing still images and video clips captured by the integrated VGA camera and real-time video streaming over the EDGE network using the built-in RealOne mobile player. While taking pictures, users have the ability to use the 2X digital zoom and a self-timer feature. It uses Symbian OS and includes tools for PDA synchronization over-the-air. Between the on-board memory and the included MMC memory card, the Nokia 6620 imaging phone has over 40MB of memory in its standard configuration. Commercial availability is expected in Q2. http://www.nokia.com

From the Graveyard
You just read about Nokia. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Alcatel-Lucent built IP, optical, wireless, fixed access and telecom software. What became of it?
Alcatel-Lucent brought IP, optical, wireless, fixed access and telecom software to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Nokia for €15.6B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Nokia today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
