3GSM: Nokia announce new Nokia 6136 Mobile Internet Phone
Nokia have announced at 3GSM the new Nokia 6136 mobile phone, which features UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access): a technology that enables the phone to make calls over mobile networks and broadband Internet connection via WLAN. Both data and voice calls can be made over a user's Internet connection via WLAN, enabling incredibly quick download speeds and high quality voice calls when within range of a home WLAN/mobile basestation. When out of range, the voice or data call is transferred seamlessly to the mobile phone network. Orange have already said they will be an initial customer for the Nokia 6136, and will sell the basestation with the phone.
