New York -- Hoping to make conversations more colorful, XE Mobile, a new pay-as-you-go wireless service designed to meet the needs and lifestyles of the youth and college age market, announced today the availability of the red-hot Nokia 6061 clamshell phone. This is the first Nokia 6061 handset offered for the prepaid user and XE Mobile carries the only red model available in the U.S.

One of the standout features in this easy-to-use handset is the pulsating light that allows members to easily check for new messages or missed calls. Additional features include MP3, MIDI, and AMR formats for ringtones, calendar with day, week and month view, to-do list, calculator, stopwatch and countdown timer, speakerphone and photo phone book that stores up to 500 entries. For even more fun, the handset is preloaded with Java(TM) games. XE Mobile members can download more Java games, MP3 and polyphonic ring tones, wallpapers or animated screen savers to customize their phone to make it one-of-a-kind.

XE Mobile rates start as low as 10 cents per minute, with up to 250 free incoming minutes each month, unlimited free incoming text messages and international long distance rates from only five cents per minute. Members are never locked into any contract or plan and can easily adjust as their wireless service needs change throughout the year.

Included free with the purchase of every XE phone is the XE Club Card, the nation's most widely accepted discount program for youth. The XE Club Card, with a $40 value, provides members with exclusive discounts of up to 50% off at more than 21,000 retailer locations around campuses and national businesses, as well as online merchant providers.
