Nokia's Latest N-Series Phones

Nokia's forthcoming N85 is built for mobile entertainment and gaming, the company said. It features a slider form factor and includes a 2.6-inch OLED screen, a built-in FM transmitter and a 5-megapixel camera. With the transmitter, users can play files wirelessly through a car or home stereo. The N85 also includes an 8-GB microSD card to provide up to 30 hours of music playback.

The device can be flipped and used horizontally for game play and comes pre-loaded with N-Gage made-for-mobile gaming titles. The N85 also supports Wi-Fi and high-speed 3.5G HSDPA connectivity. It will be priced at approximately $660 and is slated for availability in October.

Another new device, the Nokia N79, is billed by the company as "a technology powerhouse" and offers similar features to the N85. The candy bar-style form factor includes integrated navigation, music playback with an FM transmitter, high-speed connectivity, a 5-megapixel camera and pre-loaded N-Gage games.

The N79 comes with Xpress-on smart covers, giving users several options when it comes to the color of their phones, including Coral Red (shown). It includes support for Wi-Fi and high-speed 3.5G HSDPA connectivity. The N79 is expected to ship in October for approximately $515.

Nokia also said it will ship its forthcoming Nokia N96 device in North America in the fourth quarter. Unveiled earlier this year, the N96 features a 2.8-inch screen, 16 GB of internal memory, a 5-megapixel camera, integrated Wi-Fi support and assisted-GPS navigation. It will be priced at approximately $895.
