Nokia phone navigates WiFi and wireless
Nokia unveiled a handset last week that will hand off a live call made on a cell network to a WiFi connection when one is sensed. The Nokia 6301 uses UMA (unlicensed mobile access) to make use of wireless hot spots for calls. Aside from saving minutes on a cell plan, the dual-mode phone offers the promise of better coverage where traditional reception is spotty.
The 6301 is reported to be one of a handful of UMA phones, given the potential for them to eat into the lucrative wireless business model. The unit will be introduced in select European markets for about $322. Orange will provide a service package.
