Nokia Intro Nokia N79 & Nokia N85 Smartphone [Set For UK Release Next Month]

Nokia has officially detailed their new, up and coming N Series
handsets, namely the Nokia N79 and Nokia N85 smartphones - the former
being the successor to Nokia's not especially popular N78 whilst the
latter succeeds Nokia's rather popular N81 handset.

The 3G (HSDPA) N-Gage friendly N85, which appears set to become the new
N Series flagship handset, runs on S60 3rd Edition , sports a 2.6'
AMOLED display, a new, updated 5 megapixel built-in camera (which comes
complete with Carl Zeiss optics and a dual LED flash), as well as GPS
functionality, WiFi, Bluetooth and microSDHC card slot. Interestingly,
according to initial reports, the N85 appears to dispense with
integrated memory completely, instead relying on an 8GB microSDHC memory
card that will be supplied with the handset - though users will be able
to opt for an optional 16GB card if desired.

Nokia's N79, like the N85, also sees and upgrade in camera resolution to
5MP (which will also come with dual LED flash), though, unlike the N85,
the candybar N79 will offer swappable back covers allowing users to clip
on covers that suit their tastes and will be supplied with a 4GB microSD
card.

Both phones are expected to hit the UK market next month (September '08)
with further, European releases (the handsets are already available in
the US) following soon after. No word as yet concerning unit pricing.
