The recently concluded GSM Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona has seen a raft of new smartphones that will make booking travel via a mobile ever more accessible, reported BreakignTravelNews.com. Nokia’s big launch was its applications store, the Ovi, which will allow Nokia users to download applications such as Facebook, as well as worldwide city guide city.mobi. It also aims to muscle in on the BlackBerry business market with its E55 phone, which it hopes will take the use of mobile email beyond business users. The phone is an updated version of the E71. “I believe it is going to really introduce mobile email to a whole new generation of users,” said Kai Oistamo, Executive Vice-President of Devices, Nokia.
Sony Ericsson aims to gain ground on the iPhone with the Idou. The touch-screen phone comes with a 12.1 mega pixel camera, making it the most powerful camera phone on the market, and replacing the need for a digital camera. The company has also outlined its new mobile internet strategy, Entertainment Unlimited, based on the synergy of images, music and communication. Steve Walker, VP and Head of Portfolio Planning, Sony Ericsson said, “We’re explaining our strategic direction here in Barcelona, setting out our roadmap for the next three to five years. In our eight year history, Sony Ericsson has been through two major waves of activity, this is the start of our third wave.”
