“At CeBIT in Hannover, Ericsson unveiled the cordless Screen
Phone HS210. This product defines a new product category fusing
Bluetooth connectivity and the Internet, telephony and e-mail into
a convenient well designed package.”

“With the Screen Phone, the user is freed to browse the
Internet, send e-mails and make phone calls simultaneously from the
comfort of their sofa rather than being tied to the main PC that
sits in the den. They are free to interact with anyone on their own
terms. Using Bluetooth wireless connectivity, users are freed from
the tyranny of the cable that would tie them to fixed spot in the
home.”

“Bringing mobility to the home is a long-standing feature of
Ericsson’s strategy,” says Jan Ahrenbring, Vice President Marketing
and Communications at Ericsson Mobile Communications. “Home is
where we believe that people want to relax and find the balance in
their busy lives, interacting with friends and family.”

“The Screen Phone has a color touch screen, on which the
Internet and other functions can be launched at the quick touch of
a finger. You can talk using the speakerphone or use a handsfree as
you surf. The Screen Phone uses the Linux operating system for
its stability and openness, thus enabling a wide range of future
applications.
