Nokia N-series will hit the market soon
Last few months a lot of users have waited for the N-series full of anticipation. Now the time has come that the new N-series will hit the market.
Devices like the N71, N80, N91 and N92 will be hot selling mobile phones for a company like Nokia and will for sure be a set of strong devices in the current portofolio. In relation to this we can now give you the latest info on these devices.
The introduction and marketrelease has taken some time. The new Symbian operating system (which the new N-series use) was the main issue and gave problems on several major points. At this moment the final issues are solved so the devices can hit the market soon.
The following N-series will be discussed:
- N71
- N80
- N91
- N92
It looks like the N71 will hit the shelves first the upcoming weeks. This new clamshell with 262.000 colours QVGA screen, 3G/UMTS, 2.0 Mpixel camera and MiniSD slot shall not be available in every country in Europe, but through cross import it will be possible to get hold off the new device.
The second one is the new N80, the big selling hit for this year. The new device will be the first slider within the N-series and consists of a 3.0 Mpixel camera, 262.000 colour screen, Wifi, EDGE, Bluetooth and 3G/UMTS. We expect the device to hit the market around the first weeks of June.
The N91 is the first music smartphone from Nokia within the N-series and has 4 GB harddisk and new music features that we will please any music lover. The device has also got a 2.0 Mpixel camera, 262.000 colour screen, Wifi, 3G/UMTS and external keys to control the music player.
The N92 is very special device because of the DVB-H mobileTV possibility onboard the device. The expectation is that we will see the new N92 around August and that it will be the first mobileTV device from Nokia onto the market. However Samsung will be the first to show a mobileTV on the market during the World Cup soccer around June. Furthemore the N92 consits of a large QVGA screen, 3G/UMTS, 2.0 Mpixel camera and MiniSD/SD/MMC slot.

The following story originated from Reuters tell us that the new Nokia E-series and N-series are delayed until the next weeks. The devices will hit the market around Europe as mentioned in the story below:
Software bugs postpone the release of six advanced mobile phones from Finnish giant.
Nokia said Monday that software problems had delayed the release of six models of its latest smartphones.
The company plans to begin shipping its N91 music phone this week, with the N71 and N80 phones beginning to ship later this month, according to Reuters. The N91 has a 4-gigabyte hard drive for holding thousands of songs.
The company had hoped to release the N91 by the end of last year, in time for the holiday shopping season, but then pushed back the scheduled release date to the first quarter. It’s a little late on that goal as well.
The company’s enterprise division is also late on its end-of-March shipment goal for its E60, E61, and E71 phones. As with the N-series phones, the Helsinki, Finland-based phone maker wants to make sure the software has been thoroughly tested. Priority will be given to the E61, which has a full keyboard.
Shares of Nokia fell $0.06 to $20.66 in recent trading.
Despite the delays, Nokia is continuing to come out with announcements of new devices. At the CTIA Wireless 2006 show in Las Vegas this week, Nokia plans to unveil technology for wireless Internet calling with a new device called the Nokia 6136 UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access).
In other Nokia news, a New York judge last Friday dismissed all the claims made in a class-action securities lawsuit against the company. Judge Kenneth M. Karas of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted Nokia’s motion to dismiss the claims, which had been filed against the company and several of its executives in April 2004.
In a 77-page opinion, Judge Karas reviewed each of the allegations and dismissed all the claims with prejudice. He also denied the plaintiffs the right to file an amended complaint.
“Nokia is very pleased with the decision, as the company has not at any stage of the case believed there to be any merit to the plaintiffs’ allegations,” said the company in a statement.
