Hands-on with the Nokia N76

by Chris Ziegler posted Jan 8th 2007 at 4:16AM

"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. Follow the link for more pictures!

This looks pretty nifty: a clamshell symbian!

Agreed, it does look *surprisingly* similar to what we've seen from Motorola recently, but you gotta admit it's nice!

Although when compared with the Moto Maxx V6 I'm ogling, I do miss HSDPA for us Europeans, the Moto has more than twice the internal memory, 50% longer talk time ... Tough call, but I do like the red ...

Marvelous! Nokia did slim clamshell smartphone that looks better than razr.

Why N76 is better than razr?
- It's a smartphone
- It has memorycard slot
- N76 has European 3G
- Good 2mpx camera

Very nice Nokia! Very nice!

Finally a smartphone that can fit nicely inside your pocket not like the bulky and expensive N93 and N95..althought it doesnt have all the features of the other 2 but still the N76 rocks!
