Nokia launches the N79 and N85

 

As it has been  promised from earlier this month, two new Nseries devices has the release today. It’s the N85 and N79 which is designed to raise the game for mid-range mobiles. There have been no other Nokia handsets leaked out recently, and the touchscreen Nokia Tube is an exception since it appears to be headed for the XpressMusic range. Since they are part of the Nseries family, both the N79 and N85 should bring lots of high-end features. It is already known that the handsets pack photo cameras with Carl Zeiss optics, auto focus and flash

The N85 One of the obvious features of this handset is the 2.6 OLED screen, which has a faster response time, lower power consumption and faster refresh rate than LCD, which lends the screen to fast motion video and gaming. Refusing to let the N-Gage platform die, Nokia has bundled in 10 games, including one of the users choice, to really get people interested in this handset as a gaming device too. GPS with turn by turn navigation, a 5MP snapper with Carl Zeiss optics and an FM transmitter make this a possibly great mid-range device, with up to 28 hours music playback. It also comes with an 8GB card in the box, so you can pack it full of media magic and watch it on the little kickstand in the idle moments.

The Nokia  N79: The new entertainment focused candybar handset, will be similar to the N85, also announced today, although come with a more stylised focus. For those worried about matching their handset with their outfit when they hit the streets, three smart covers are included in every box, with the ability to change the theme’s, as you might expect, accordingly. Replacing the N78, it will feature a 5 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, geotagging and dual LED-flash. Elsewhere on the multimedia front will be an FM Transmitter, with direct access to the Nokia Music Store, power for up to 24 hours of music playback plus 3.5mm headset connector and dedicated music keys for non-stop music enjoyment. Taking advantage of that GPS, Nokia has also bundled in Nokia Maps 2.0 and there is a 4GB microSD card with supports up to 8GB rather than having memory built in.
