N75

N95

Nokia has announced two all-new additions to its Nseries line of flagship phones, and several music-oriented updates to existing models.

N75: A new clamshell smartphone with features similar to the N71, but in a thinner, lighter form factor with dedicated music keys on the front. Supports 3G (WCDMA 850/1900) and quad-band GSM/EDGE for the U.S. market. The highly intuitive Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map and RSS support delivers desired Web pages with their original design directly. The phone comes with 75MB of internal memory and a Micro SD card slot which can swallow a 2GB card. You can listen to your favourite tracks and FM radio via the integrated stereo speakers. The phone also features a microSD memory card slot (up to 2 GB), 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, QVGA display, and S60 3rd Edition. Expected to ship in the U.S. by the end of this year.

N95: Nokia's first phone with HSDPA high-speed data. This slide-style device sports a large 2.6 inch QVGA display, 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with Carl Ziess lens, VGA-resolution video capture at 30 fps with image stabilization, stereo Bluetooth, Wi-Fi with UPnP, TV output, a 3.5mm headphone jack, GPS and mapping software, slide-out media keys, and a microSD memory card slot. 3G works in the 2100 band for Europe and Asia only, although quad-band GSM is also included. Shipping Q1 2007.

N91 8GB: An update to the N91 music phone that upgrades the internal hard disk drive from 4 GB to 8 GB. Available by the end of 2006.
