HELSINKI (Reuters) - Nokia unveiled on Monday its first dedicated personal navigation device, the Nokia 330 Auto Navigation, as the world's top handset maker tries to increase its foothold in the fast-growing navigation market.
The Nokia 330, with preinstalled Europe-wide map data from navigation firm Route 66, is expected to be available in Europe during the fourth quarter of 2006, retailing for 360 euros (241 pounds) excluding taxes.
The 330 does not function as a phone.
