Mission: Impossible 3 Is World’s First Mobile Premiere on Nokia N93 Multimedia Computer

In a Hollywood first, Nokia announced the launch of the blockbuster movie M:i:III on memory cards to coincide with the film’s DVD release. The action-packed feature film will be offered as part of the Nokia N93 sales package with no additional cost to consumers and will be available in Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and the UK.

The Nokia N93 – with its high definition 2.4” QVGA color screen and a perfect form factor for watching videos – is the ultimate mobile entertainment device. The full length film, which is supplied on a 512MB miniSD card, runs at 25 frames per second, and you can rewind, fast forward, stop and continue watching the movie anytime. Furthermore, to make the movie experience even more complete, you can enjoy it in stereo audio thanks to the stereo headset included in the standard Nokia N93 sales package. Once you have watched the movie, you can store it on your PC and enjoy the 512MB of storage for shooting pictures and video*.

The deal between Nokia and Paramount Pictures, a division of Viacom, brings fans the $400 million worldwide box office hit. To date, it has been seen by more than 74 million people across the globe.

“With this package, we want to highlight that the Nokia N93 is not only a fantastic movie-making device, but that it is also a portable video player, allowing users to enjoy movies wherever, whenever,” said Tuula Rytilä-Uotila, director, Multimedia, Nokia. “You can even watch movies on an airplane with the device in offline mode. Indeed, we look forward to seeing consumers across Europe enjoying M:i:III on their Nokia N93 devices this holiday season.”

“Combining the exciting innovations of Nokia N93 with a film as cutting edge as M:i:III makes for a truly winning formula for consumers,” said Thomas Lesinski, President, Paramount Pictures Digital Entertainment.

Not only is the Nokia N93 a portable media player, it is also a high performance mobile camcorder allowing users to record their own adventures in DVD-like quality. To encourage people to shoot and share their moving moments, Nokia created the Nokia Nseries Studio (www.nokia.com/nseries/studio), an interactive online community for mobile movies which was launched by award-winning actor and director Gary Oldman. A selection of mobile movies shot with the Nokia N93 by an international cast of creative visionaries is already available to view on the site, including a short film by Gary Oldman himself.
