Nokia Announces Nseries Phones With Photo Focus

Apr 25, 2006, 3:30 AM by (staff)

Nokia today unveiled two new Nseries phones with a number of features for those as interested in pictures as in telephony. The new models feature large 2.4" QVGA displays, 3 Megapixel cameras with Carl Zeiss lenses and powerful flashes, and a new Xpress Share client that makes sending pictures as mms, email and even to Flickr accounts easy. Both phones use S60 3rd Edition, including Nokia's new full web browser as well as a new camera interface. Neither of these phones is expected on an American carrier, but Nokia will be selling both at new flaghship stores they will open around the country. Both phones are due out in the 3rd quarter.

N73: A bar-style phone designed as the successor to the very popular N70. Quadband GSM/EDGE (some models will also include 2100 MHz UMTS). The N73 uses an auto-focus Tessar lens hidden behind a spring-assisted cover. Features 42 MB built-in memory, MiniSD slot, and Bluetooth 2.0. Also features a music player that supports MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA, video player with streaming support, FM radio with visual radio and stereo speakers.
N93: A large multi-axis folder with a similar hinge to the N92 Mobile TV phone. 900/1800/1900 GSM/EDGE plus 2100 MHz UMTS. The N93 upgrades the camera to an auto-focus Vario Tessar lens with 3x optical zoom. It is focused as much on video as still recording and can capture 30 fps VGA MPEG-4 movies. Features 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, MiniSD slot and TV-out. Also features music player that supports MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA, video player with streaming support, and FM radio with visual radio.

Nokia also announced the N72 bar-style phone for Asian markets. The N72 specs and features are nearly identical to the existing N70 model.

Cingular will never get these phones.

Everything said about ppl wanting free phones is true. As a rep for Cingular almost everyone who comes by asks for the free phone not the coolest one or even the best one just what is free. Thats why these Nokia Nseries models won't be seen with Cingular, they don't see a demand for it. 😢 Kinda Sucks though.

Why do you need Cingular to pick up any of these? Just buy an unlocked one in a store.

It's not only Cingular.It's Americans in general.They rather pick a free phone instead of paying $100-$200 for one.It's the totally opposite in Europe and Asia where people are willing to pay for the coolest and latest phone.

sowhatsowhat10

if they marketed this crazy sick SH*t like they do in EUROPE everyone would buy it. over there they see it as a challenge to who has the best phones. if we made it that way here phones would be selling like burgers on the dollar menu.

...also, i think generally rates and flexibility in foreign markets (i speak for Asia and Singapore in particular) are much better than what the american carriers offer...

the often have deals for their customers...their phones are generally unlock...

who?

who will be carrying this phone.

why cant verizon get some cute phones?
ughh this makes me mad.

😢 Sadly, no american carrier will have these phones but you always can buy from independant dealers on the web. My guess is they will not work on Verizon's network. Nokia seems to prefer GSM over CDMA.

Live report coming soon

Hey folks - I'm in Berlin at the Nokia event right now, and I'll have a hands-on report for you shortly. 🙂

Icyhot

Thanks Rich. I wonder why, if the N73 is quad band, why it won't be carried by Cingular. You think perhaps when the AT&T deal is done, Cingular/AT&T customers will start to see some of these dynamite phones??

s0lrac

Wow these phones are nice... why cant we get any of these in the U.S. ... You would think the U.S. would be ahead of most of the world in technology... 😕 ....looking forward to your report...

wacko_javo

OK, so you won't talk about the N72 'cause it's cheap, but not even a pic?
