Nokia seems to be planning a new Bluetooth earpiece launch, as images coupled with a new FCC certification have recently revealed. The earpiece will cater to business-oriented customers rather than for leisure, by the looks of the bulky, singular earpiece.
Visually, Nokia is sticking to the classic
old-style business look, with minimal variation from the other black,
minimalistic, no-nonsense earpieces we're used to seeing from Nokia in the
past. In fact, it appears nearly identical to the old-school Nokia Bluetooth
Headset BH-110, but with slightly more curved sides and a large, pronounced
multi-function button. The following images have been uncovered by Droid News
and leave little to the imagination about what the earpiece will look like in
terms of size, looks from each angle, and button functionality.
The gadget emphasizes its simplicity and
function-over-form design—it's there to do its job, allow you to very easily
take (or reject) call, or even listen to music as you go about your business
(but mainly, bring you back to the simpler old Nokia days).
As you can see, the earpiece will have one
main button on the top and a couple more discreet volume controls on the side.
The main control button will play or pause music, answer or end calls, or
reject them by holding down for one second—while holding down for two seconds
will activate a series of voice commands.
The volume buttons will also boast some
multifunctionality, as holding them down will allow you to skip forward or back
a track. We can likely expect to see this gadget in the market sometime soon,
as it has been registered at the FCC under the product code SB-201 complete
with user manual, images, and plenty of other details.
