Nokia has taken the wraps off their latest N Series handsets - the N79 and N85. They both run on the Symbian S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 OS. The N79 is a candy bar whilst the N85 is a dual slider. Both handsets share many similar features as expected from any S60 handset - both have a 5 Mega Pixel camera, Dual LED flash, TV-Out, Micro-USB, 3.5mm AV connector, MicroSD support, GPS, Navi-Wheel and integrated FM Transmitter supporting frequencies 88.01 - 107.9Mhz.
The key defining feature of the N79 is the interchangeable Xpress-on smart covers, which change the theme scheme when swapped. There are two sets to choose from:
- Canvas white with light sea blue/espresso brown/olive green
- Seal grey with espresso brown/coral red/white
The N85 on the other hand has an OLED screen which should help on sustaining battery life, this is the first handset I know of Nokia releasing with such a screen and one I'm glad they've done, it's progress comes from lessons learned with the N95's poor battery performance as the N85 also ships with a decent 1200 mAh battery.
Both handsets will support Nokia's N-Gage platform and come with 15 demo games pre-installed and they include:
- Asphalt 3
- Hooked On: Creatures of the deep
- Worlds series of poker
- Block breaker deluxe
- Tetris
- Space impact
- System Rush
- Brain Challenge
- Mile High Pinball
- Snakes Subsonic
- Sims 2: Pets
- FIFA 08
- Midnight pool
- Reset generation
- Bounce
One key thing to note is the N85 will come in a NAM version so the North American customers can be happy about that, whilst the N79 won't.
For details on the handsets you can visit the product pages on the NSeries website.
