Nokia unveils the latest in convergence and mobility from Nokia Nseries
Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N79, the latest addition to the Nokia Nseries range that combines intelligent and customizable design with a fully-loaded multimedia computer; and the Nokia N85, the latest Nseries multimedia computer made to set new standards for mobile entertainment, gaming and sharing.
Nokia N79 – Powerful fusion of technology and style
Behind its sleek exterior, the Nokia N79 is a technology powerhouse. It offers a full range of multimedia experiences including integrated navigation, music with FM transmitter, high-speed connectivity, superior web browsing, 10 preloaded N-Gage games and an advanced 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics. Expected to begin shipping in October 2008, the Nokia N79 has an expected retail price of 350 euros, before taxes and subsidies.
“The Nokia N79 packs cutting-edge technology into a compact design – a characteristic of the iconic Nseries – that allows people to discover, create and share their passions with others. It has been designed for those who want a device that is as appealing as it is powerful and comes with interchangeable covers that have automatically matching screen themes. This balance of performance and style means that it is a powerful and defining step forward from the popular and very successful Nokia N72 and Nokia N73,” said Steve Lewis, Head of GTM, Nokia Middle East and North Africa.
Perfect for the style conscious, the Nokia N79 comes with Xpress-On smart covers that are available in five cool colors: Light Sea Blue, Espresso Brown, Olive Green, White and Coral Red. Combinations of three of these come with each Nokia N79.
The convergence of photos, music and navigation in the Nokia N79 combines with hi-speed 3.5G HSDPA and Wi-Fi to make it quick and easy to share experiences on websites, blogs or online communities.
Experience new discoveries
The innovative technology packed into this colourful offering means that accessing a rich pool of services to further enhance individual experiences is seamless. Log on to online communities like YouTube or click through to Nokia services such as the Nokia Music Store, N-Gage and Nokia Maps.
The 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED Flash and video light captures sharp, clear images and video that can be edited immediately, without the need for a PC. Images can also be geotagged to specific locations. What’s more, the Nokia N79 comes packaged with a 4GB microSD memory card that makes it possible to store around 3000 song files, approximately 2500 pictures and up to four hours of DVD-quality video clips that can be organized by albums or tags and uploaded directly to Share on Ovi or other third party services. The addition of a sliding lens cover helps protect the top-quality lens when not in use.
Nokia Maps makes it easy to explore and navigate new surroundings by accessing more than 15 million points of interest (POI). In-built A-GPS providing turn-by-turn navigation comes with a three month integrated license on the Nokia N79.
To ensure each device is as distinctive as its user, customizable features are available at the Nokia Download! store, a one stop personalization shop, already embedded in Nokia Nseries devices. It lets consumers create a unique experience for themselves by offering easy access to a multitude of popular ringtones, world-class branded entertainment content, the latest in mobile gaming and dynamic applications for personalizing mobile devices to the user’s own preferences.
Nokia N85 – The definitive entertainment package
Along with an eye-catching 2.6” OLED screen and smooth, sleek finish, the Nokia N85 redefines the mobile experience. It boasts N-Gage gaming, music with in-built FM transmitter, 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and geotagging capabilities, three month integrated license for turn-by-turn voice navigation and high-speed connectivity, all in one device. The Nokia N85 is expected to begin shipping in October 2008 with an estimated retail price of EUR 450, before taxes and subsidies.
“The Nokia N85 was created to be more than the sum of its parts, offering a complete mobile entertainment package designed for connecting, sharing and discovering,” said Steve Lewis, Head of GTM, Nokia Middle East and North Africa. “The iconic Nokia Nseries dual slider design has evolved to become smaller and sleeker while integrating the newest features and services to deliver the best mobile experience to date.”
With a strong lineup of multimedia features, the Nokia N85 is taking the world of mobile convergence to the next level. Gaming, photos, navigation and music blend together with the newest Ovi and third party services via 3.5G HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity to make discovering and sharing experiences quick and seamless.
Engage and interact
The Nokia N85 is pre-loaded with at least 10 made-for-mobile N-Gage gaming titles that jump off the screen thanks to the dazzling OLED display. Dedicated gaming keys light up when the device is in landscape gaming mode to further enhance the action-packed experience.
A state-of-the-art 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and bright dual LED Flash captures clear, sharp images as well as DVD-quality videos at 30 frames per second. Combined with A-GPS it is possible to geotag favourite pictures to record where each image was taken using the Nokia Maps application or online sites such as Ikbis.
Each Nokia N85 comes with an 8GB microSD card, up to 30-hours of music playback time and its high-fidelity sound means favorite tracks can be enjoyed virtually anywhere. N85 users are able to build a personal music collection from the 2.5 million tracks and playlists. Alternatively, consumers can enjoy RDS radio or a wide selection of stations via the internet. The 3.5mm audio jack makes connecting a top-quality headset simple and easy, while a built-in FM Transmitter lets the Nokia N85 play wirelessly through a car or home stereo to really crank up the sound.
While it comes out of the box with a multitude of powerful functionalities, the pre-loaded Nokia Download! application makes the Nokia N85 truly customizable by offering a wide range of bespoke content. This includes an outstanding selection of world-class branded entertainment content, the latest in mobile gaming and dynamic applications so users can really make the device their own.
The Nokia N85 comes with an 8GB microSD card for anything from music to games, photos and up to seven hours of DVD-like quality video at 30 frames per second.
