A new device for American users, thanks to the collaboration between Nokia and the carrier AT&T. The Nokia Mural offers Quadband GSM connectivity, capable of working in Dual Mode thanks to UMTS support. To browse the Internet you can conveniently use the HTML browser. Data traffic will instead be managed by the internal HSDPA modem. The Bluetooth support is absolutely handy for exchanging files with other compatible devices. There is also a USB data output to sync the Nokia Mural with your home PC.

Design and features
Classic and dynamic style, suitable for any context to offer portability without compromise. The dimensions are compact, with a thickness of 16.3 mm and a weight of 110.6 grams. The structure opens in a clamshell design, to offer greater protection to the main screen which remains on the inside. This is a 2.2-inch QVGA TFT, capable of displaying up to 16 million colors. Also on the inside is the standard alphanumeric keyboard. On the front outer part, however, there is a 1.3-inch auxiliary display, to show basic information. There is a wide choice of available colors, to give a personal touch to a device meant for daily use.
