The news
Nokia has tied up a deal with Paramount Pictures to let it offer Mission: Impossible: 3 on mobile phone memory cards from October 30 - the day the movie debuts on DVD in Europe.
M:i:III - as we're apparently expected to call it - is being bundled free on a 512MB miniSD card with the Nokia N93 in the UK and in Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Turkey.
The on-card film has a stereo soundtrack and runs at a PAL-standard 25 frames per second. It can be copied off to a PC either for backup or to free the space on the card. However, Nokia says that the movie can't be played on a PC and also can't be copied to a different memory card, only to the original.
Nokia's N93 GSM phone ('multimedia computer' is the company's preferred term) carries a widescreen 2.4in main display - QVGA (320 x 240) and 262,144 colours - plus a 1.1in secondary with a resolution of 128x36 and offering 65,536 colours. It can shoot video or stills and comes with stereo earphones for use while watching movies or listening to music tracks. Specs on the phone are here and other details here.
