BANGALORE, INDIA: Nokia further strengthened its style and imaging portfolio with the launch of the sleek and chic Nokia 6700 Classic and Nokia 6303 Classic.

The devices, which were launched by Bollywood diva, Priyanka Chopra, are targeted at the suave and savvy Indian consumers who are looking for superior functionality with premium finish at competitive prices.

Nokia also announced that it will continue its association with tinsel town’s reigning queen and Nokia’s youth style icon, Priyanka Chopra who will be seen in a new print and digital campaign being unveiled by the company soon. With the tagline “Pictures get us talking”, the new campaign has a contemporary visual appeal that brings out how people use the elements of mobile imaging in their way of mobile communication rather than just voice.

Alongside the Nokia 6700 Classic & Nokia 6303 Classic launch, Priyanka also rolled out an interesting consumer engagement initiative - “Pictures get us talking”. The consumer contest that starts from today, gives users an opportunity to upload their interesting and unique pictures on the Nokia website – www.nokia.co.in..

The picture that starts the maximum conversations and is the most talked about in the virtual world will emerge as the winner. The winning entry will get a complete makeover by a well known fashion designer. In addition, Priyanka will also talk and twitter about her favourite pictures on her twitter. .

Vineet Taneja, Director Marketing, Nokia India said, “Nokia is delighted to strengthen its bond with India’s style conscious consumers, both by extending our association with Priyanka Chopra and with the launch of Nokia 6700 Classic and Nokia 6303 Classic. Priyanka, with her signature glamorous style, has brought in a lot of vivacity to the Nokia brand. The Nokia Supernova campaign with Priyanka was one of our most popular ad campaigns last year."

I’m an avid mobile user and I find that Nokia delivers a complete experience in a great looking package! It’s a leader in style, innovation, technology and above everything else its user-friendliness… you can’t but get hooked to your Nokia!
