Nokia unveils revamped N-Series GPS phone Navigation: Main page Author: WildC@rd Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone maker, unveiled an all-in-one multimedia phone and a slimmer model targeting US consumers at an event to showcase its multimedia devices on Tuesday. Nokia said multimedia is the fastest growing mobile segment and this year it has already sold more than 10 million handsets in its upscale N-series. The new N95 model, the first Nokia phone with integrated GPS receiver, is expected to retail in the first quarter of 2007 for about $700, excluding subsidies and taxes, Nokia said in a statement. The N95 will be the Finnish company's first with a five megapixel camera, and it will also be sold with free maps from Tele Atlas and location data for consumers in more than 100 countries. The top camera phones today usually capture three megapixels. Ben Wood, director at UK researchers Collins Consulting, said: "With the N95, Nokia has joined the megapixel arms race which has historically been the domain of Korean vendor Samsung with its multi-megapixel devices. "Nokia has packed every conceivable feature into the N95. The question is do users really want a Swiss army knife product like this or are they happier with something smaller and less complex?" Nokia also unveiled its new N75, a model slimmer than most of the more bulky N-series phones, which it will sell in Latin America and the US. eQ analyst Jari Honko said: "This phone could sell well. Nokia users have been looking for a slimmer model." Nokia's N-series phones have been intended as a move toward more stylish and lighter models but reviewers and critics say it is still some way from rivals Motorola's and Samsung's thin models. The N75 and N73 are about three-quarters of an inch thick, compared with the Razr from Motorola at about a half inch. Nokia, which sells more than one in three of all mobile phones around the world, has increased its market share this year but arch rival Motorola has reported even faster sales growth. Nokia also unveiled music versions of its N70, N73 and N91 phones, with the N91 8GB music edition holding 6,000 songs. The Finnish mobile maker said it was working with 40 music industry players, such as David Bowie, to form a web community - Music Recommenders - through which music fans can keep on top of the latest trends. Nokia aims to sell 80 million music phones this year, outpacing sales of devices such as Apple's iPod. Back in September, Nokia acquired location-based services software company gate5. |
