For those of you interested in the Nokia N76:

1) MobileBurn’s preview of the Nokia N76

Today I had the chance to play around with what could fairly be called Nokia’s first RAZR, the 14mm thin N76. The N76 sports the same clamshell form factor pioneered by Motorola with its RAZR V3 in that it has its internal antenna located below a flat, metal keypad. Nokia’s N76, however, is a true smartphone and runs its own powerful S60 user interface on top of the Symbian OS.

2) Endgadget Mobile’s preview of the Nokia N76

“Nokia” and “thin” aren’t terms that we generally find ourselves assembling into a single sentence, but the freshly-introduced N76 changes all that in a big way. We had a chance to run our hands over a couple N76es at CES — one red, one black — and the smart money says future owners are not going to be disappointed. After the initial shock of handling an Nseries device this svelte, we were really digging what Nokia put together here. Sadly, the lack of American 3G bands leaves the phone dead in our eyes, but we enjoyed our brief interlude nonetheless.

3) UberGizmo’s Nokia N76 Hand-On experience

CES 2007 - The trend is thin and nobody can ignore it, not even Nokia. The Nokia N76 closes a gap in Nokia’s offering in a stylish way. They will probably hate me for saying this but the Nokia N76 looks like the RAZR and the Sanyo Katana. I don’t say that in a bad way – the RAZR design is what brought struggling Motorola back into the game.

4) SymbianFreak gets a Nokia N76 Hands-On preview

On the unofficial press release on Sunday Evening, we had the opportunity to get our eyes exclusively on the black edition (the red one next day) and the first thing came in my mind: Girl’s Phone!?.. The N76 looks stylish with its mirror touch (don’t forget to polish all the time!), a nice external screen (1.36 inch color display (160 x 128 pixels) TFT with up to 262,144 colors), dedicated mp3 player buttons .. all what a phone needs so far ..

On the eve of CES, nokia has just announced the new Nokia N76!

It is definitely one of the most beautiful S60 phones I’ve ever seen. Great job on the design, Nokia.
Here are a few screenshots:

Technical Specifications:

Although the phone is quite stunning, the question that comes to my mind is: “Where is U.S. 3G?”. You’ve announced 2 new phones already, but not one of them has US 3g?

Its really major issue and I simply can’t imagine how this went through the testing phone unnoticed. Here’s the problem:

If you have the Messaging Memory set to the N91 HDD, then you can’t use the phone as a Mass storage device.

I recently switched messaging memory over to the N91 HDD as I was running low on phone memory. And since then, I haven’t been able to use Mass Storage at all. It says, “Messaging is currently using the hard disk. Mass Storage mode cannot be activated”. I use a powerbook, so mass storage is the only option for me when I transfer music. So for now, I have to choose between being able to access and save my emails or being able to transfer new music to my phone.
This totally sucks! I really hope someone from nokia reads this and releases a patch.

Digital Lifestyles has reviewed 3’s X-Series. It covers the skype, slingbox and orb services that 3 offers as a part of its x-series package. I am actually waiting for a similar service to be implemented in the US. What interests me most is the skype client. A good robust VOIP client is long overdue for symbian phones, even more so now, since almost all new symbian phones have integrated wi-fi. 3’s skype (iskoot actually) is a step in the right direction. Although the service only allows users to call skype contacts at the moment (no skypeout till early 2007), it still is a promising application. Add 3’s flat-rate pricing and it makes for an enticing deal.
