Nokia today announced that the Nokia N70 has won the ‘Best Mobile Entertainment Handset‘ award at the annual Mobile Entertainment Awards, the Meffys. The device defeated tough competition to take the top spot at the industry awards ceremony held in London.
The Meffys, organised by the Mobile Entertainment Forum (MEF), are the industry’s official benchmark for measuring success and rewarding innovating in mobile entertainment. The top entries in each category were chosen by a panel of independent industry, media and analyst experts.
The 2006 Meffys have been a fiercely contested event with a wealth of high quality entries. The winners reflect the hot trends which will be shaping and driving the mobile entertainment industry forward in the coming year.
said Patrick Parodi, MEF Global Chair.
This award is a fantastic endorsement for the underlining strategy behind the Nokia Nseries in terms of offering one single device for consumers to enjoy entertainment whenever and wherever they want,
commented Tapio Hedman, senior vice president of Marketing, Multimedia at Nokia.
This award comes as no surprise as back in April, Nokia announced that the Nokia N70 has been the best-selling 3G handset in the world and the biggest revenue-generating handset for the company during the first quarter of this year. Not only that, but according to Nokia, the N70 makes about 10% of the entire 3G market.
