Nokia's New Nseries Phones: N72, N73 and N93

Available now
25th April 2006

These three latest Nseries phones from Nokia introduce a few new concepts, but in the main they build on existing Nseries handsets for inspiration. All phones run the Symbian S60 operating system. We'll have a closer look later, but in summary the new phones are as follows.

The Nokia N72 (left) is essentially a 2G version of the N70 with EDGE instead of 3G, plus enhanced multimedia playback, dedicated media controls and an FM radio. All the other technical characteristics are almost identical to the N70.

The 3G Nokia N73 (centre) is perhaps more of an obvious upgrade from the N70, and the focus here is on the camera and digital imaging, with a large 2.4" 240x320 pixel display, 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, FM radio, expandable memory, video calling, multimedia player and stereo speakers. It can also upload pictures to Flickr.

Finally, the Nokia N93 (right) is designed to double as a digital camera and camcorder, with a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, 30fps video capture, TV output, a 240x320 pixel display and expandable memory. It looks rather like the Nokia N92 with the multiway hinge. The N93 features the best camera Nokia have produced to date.

Nokia also announced that the N71 and N80 handsets have started shipping, in addition the the N70, N90 and N91 devices that are already available.
