Nikon's Teams with T-Mobile, Releases COOLPIX S7c Digital Camera

Nikon says it partners with T-Mobile USA. The agreement enables owners of the new Nikon COOLPIX S7c digital camera to access T-Mobile Hotspot Wi-Fi Service in order to be able to wirelessly share photos with family and friends. Coinciding with the launch of Nikon's COOLPIX S7c, the Wi-Fi service called "COOLPIX CONNECT" makes it possible for users of the new camera to take high-quality photos and send them via e-mail through a direct high-speed Wi-Fi connection at T-Mobile's U.S.-based Hotspot locations. The COOLPIX S7c is a 7.1 megapixel, 3x Nikkor Zoom ED lens camera that combines high-quality imaging performance, style and impressive new photo-sharing technology.

Working with T-Mobile, Nikon's COOLPIX CONNECT provides Nikon COOLPIX S7c users with Wi-Fi service that offers unmatched convenience and ease of use. The first time that a COOLPIX S7c user connects the camera to the T-Mobile network at any of the thousand T-Mobile HotSpot locations nationwide, that user's one year of complimentary T-Mobile HotSpot service is automatically activated. Choosing Wi-Fi mode on the COOLPIX S7c in a U.S.-based T-Mobile Hot Spot location automatically connects the camera to the T-Mobile network, activates the complimentary T-Mobile HotSpot service, and readies the camera to share pictures through a high-speed Wi-Fi connection.

The T-Mobile HotSpot service enables a total of up to 50MB of images to be sent to a T-Mobile server and stored for a maximum of two weeks. The server sends an email to each specified recipient with a thumbnail and a link to a Web page, thereby allowing COOLPIX S7c users to invite friends and family members to view the images right away, download full-resolution versions of the images to their own computer, or enjoy the images as a slideshow.

COOLPIX S7c customers can access T-Mobile HotSpot service in more than 7.000 U.S. locations, including convenient venues such as select Starbucks, Borders, FedEx Kinko's, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, Red Roof Inn locations, Sofitel and Novotel hotels, airline clubs of American, Delta, United and US Airways, and many airports.
