Nokia and Verizon Wireless introduces the light-weight, compact and colorful Nokia Shade

The Nokia Shade with camera will be available online beginning Oct. 6 at www.verizonwireless.com for USD 29.99 with a new two-year customer agreement. Customers can purchase Xpress-on changeable covers in blue, red and purple for USD 19.99 by visiting www.verizonwireless.com.

Because purple is the awareness color for domestic violence, those who purchase the Nokia Shade with a camera online during Domestic Violence Awareness Month will receive a free picture frame phone lanyard and a purple Nokia Xpress-on Cover while supplies last.  Additionally, the Nokia Shade features pre-loaded wallpapers that highlight HopeLine®, Verizon Wireless’ phone recycling and reuse program, and it is the first Verizon Wireless phone to have #HOPE pre-programmed into the contact list.  When customers dial #HOPE, they are connected to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, where they can receive information or help with domestic violence situations or questions.  To learn more about Verizon Wireless’ efforts around Domestic Violence Awareness Month, visit www.verizonwireless.com/HopeLineDVAM.
