Nokia Confirms Upcoming Additions To N-Series
The Nokia N-series has been one of its most successful lines of mobiles to date, with the most popular in the series (in this country at least) being the excellent N95. If you’re keen on the feature set of this phone but not so keen on the rather bulky design or traditionally prefer ‘candybar’ styles, the upcoming N79 should do nicely. At 97 grams it’s the lightest of the N-series to date and offers many of the typical features of the range including a Carl Zeiss optics 5MP camera, GPS and A-GPS with support for geo-tagging, WiFi and a multimedia player. It also sports a 2.4″ (240×320) display and an FM transmitter, so you could send any audio stored on the 4GB of supplied microSD memory straight to a car stereo, for example. Slightly higher up the tree is the N85, which was announced at the same time and falls somewhere between this model and the flagship N96. It adopts the more traditional slider design though this does allow it to offer a slightly larger 2.6″ OLED display. Other differences of note between this and the N79 are the inclusion of a TV-out port for sending media to televisions, 3.5G data and 8GB of supplied microSD memory. Generally though, both models offer a similar range of features and benefits, so the final choice will likely be down to price and style. The N79 should be available from October with an expected price of just under £300 before contract subsidies, with the N85 out around the same time for about £360. - Paul Lester [Mobile Gazette] [Mobile Gazette] nokia mobile phone GPS
