Nokia has unveiled new special editions of selected mobile devices that offer several varieties of Islamic applications. The devices that support the new Islamic applications are the Nokia 6131, Nokia 6233, Nokia 6070, Nokia E61, Nokia N73 and Nokia N80.

The applications include Emsakya, which features prayer times, and the Islamic Organiser, an independent calendar that works on both Hijri and Gregorian systems.

Although the software isnt readily available to the UK market at present, trial runs are being undertaken in other parts of Europe and if successful, this is expected to be introduced to the UK in the near future.
