Multimedia Phone with GPS

The Siemens SXG75 brings multimedia to the mobile phone via high speed UMTS technology. The SXG75 offers a mobile GPS navigation system that directs users to their final destination through visual and vocal instructions. A 2-megapixel digital camera for photos and video recording is included, along with a second camera for video calls.

Equipped with a GPS module and navigation software, the SXG75 has everything necessary for innovative location-based services. Siemens' new mobile presents multimedia at UMTS speed. This high-tech third-generation mobile telephony device will be on sale from as early as October 2005. With its built-in FM radio and MP3 player, the mobile turns into a portable stereo system by attaching the superior speakers of the "Mobile Music Set" (optional accessory). The integrated 2-megapixel digital camera and the high-resolution QVGA color display ensure high-quality visuals. A second CIF camera above the mobile’s display is a practical aid for video telephony. An organizer, Bluetooth, an email client, Multimedia Messaging (MMS), Instant Messaging and a fast XHTML web browser are also among the extensive features of this UMTS all-rounder.

With the integrated GPS module and navigation solution from Siemens VDO Automotive, finding the way is always straightforward with the SXG75 - even in a strange city. This high-tech mobile is already equipped with Assisted GPS functionality, making it capable of receiving future operator services. The SXG75 also supports location-based services such as restaurant tips, special offers in shops or guides to major cities.

Other applications that are practical when on the move include the built-in translation aid for English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, as well as a photo editor.
