CSL and Nokia join forces to launch online printing service in Hong Kong

June 16, 2006, Hong Kong / Espoo, Finland - CSL, a pioneer in the mobile communications market in Hong Kong, and Nokia, the global leader in mobility, today announced that CSL is the first operator globally to deploy the Nokia-developed press to print mobile imaging solution, offering CSL’s 1O1O and One2Free customers a fully integrated mobile online printing service. The online printing service offers a simple and straightforward way for 1O1O and One2Free customers to order prints of images they have captured with the Nokia N80 multimedia device.

As convenient and spontaneous as capturing the images, the Nokia press to print solution makes ordering prints of photos taken with a camera phone extremely easy and simple. With the solution preinstalled in their Nokia N80, the online printing service enables CSL customers to order multiple uncompressed high-quality prints, quickly, easily and directly from the Nokia N80, over the cellular network.

With no need for a PC or a separate photo printer, users can access the service immediately after capture or from the Nokia N80’s Gallery, select the images they want to be printed, insert an address and press Order prints. The images are transferred over the mobile network, and the user can go on with using the device for other needs. The order is then processed by Stereo, a renowned printing solution house and prints will be delivered to the supplied address and the order will be charged on the customer’s mobile bill.

“Camera phones offer people a unique ability to spontaneously capture moments wherever and whenever they want,” said Mr Bruce Lam, General Manager, Customer and Market Operations, Mobile Phones, Nokia (HK) Ltd. “The quality of advanced camera devices, such as the Nokia N80, makes printing these images a reality. While Nokia users have previously been able to enjoy the benefits of home and retail printing, the new service will help consumers ’unlock’ images from their phone, order high-quality prints over the air, and have them delivered directly to their doorstep.”
