Nokia the world's largest maker of mobile phones, unveiled new models that include more features and better musical compatibility with Facebook and the new subnotebook, or netbook, the Finnish company.
The announcement is part of Nokia's campaign to expand into new markets such as wireless services online.
"We're on the defensive or offensive," said Nokia executive vice president Anssi Vanjoki Nokia World09 exposure in two days in Germany.
It said it reached an agreement with Facebook, the popular social networking page, allowing users to update some of their phones and their location directly on the page provided by Nokia's Ovi account.
That capability will be included in the new mini N97 also presented on Wednesday which will sell for 450 euros ($ 645) without contract when the market starts in October.
Nokia unveiled new devices in its exhibit, including his new laptop, Nokia Booklet 3G to be sold in the last quarter of 2009 with operating system Windows 7.
The aluminum laptop has a screen measuring 25 cm (10 inches) and weighs 1.3 kilos (2.8 pounds). That puts it in the subnotebook category of manufacturers who have pioneered Taiwanese Asustek Computer Inc.
But unlike most subnotebooks, the Booklet of Nokia will have a chip with a connected GPS navigation Nokia Maps program and an aluminum foil instead of the typical plastic.
