LONDON, November 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Finnish mobile communications company, Iqua, is launching its CPW-603 Bluetooth Wireless Headset in the UK. The headset, designed by Finnish award-winning design studio Salovaara & Salonen, is exclusively available through the Carphone Warehouse, either as a stand-alone product or bundled with the iconic LG KG800 'Chocolate' phone.

The headset combines leading-edge design credentials, with impeccable functionality. It enables users to answer or end a call, redial, use voice dial and switch between phone and headset using a single button. It has an operating range of 10 metres, and is compatible with wireless VoIP calls. The battery provides up to nine hours of talk time and 200 hours' standby, and can be fully charged within two hours. The headset provides crystal clear sound, and is available in a choice of three colours: pearl white, charcoal or pink, matching the colours of LG KG800 'Chocolate' phone.

Iqua has an impressive background in the mobile phone sector. Its founders are all former Nokia employees, and the former Managing Director of Nokia Mobile Phones in the UK, Isto Pankakoski, is a senior partner and board member. Together, the company's founders have more than 100 years' experience of the mobile communications industry and the sales staff also has extensive experience in the distribution sector.

Pankakoski said: "We are delighted to have secured this deal with Carphone Warehouse. The CPW-603 headset is both a fantastic piece of design and a highly functional accessory, and we feel it deserves the widest possible distribution across the UK and Europe. With this deal we have Carphone Warehouse's knowledge, expertise and commitment at our disposal, as well as its extensive retail presence. We are confident of developing a solid presence in the UK market, and achieving similar brand recognition as the LG 'Chocolate' phone with which CPW-603 is designed to match."

James MacKenzie, Carphone Warehouse said: "Iqua has produced an interesting and highly-innovative range of wireless accessory products that combine traditional Finnish strengths in mobile communications with the best of Scandinavian design. The CPW-603 headset has all the right ingredients to appeal to the UK market and we believe it can quickly become a recognised and coveted brand."
