The N76 is a smartphone. It runs Symbian S60 and comes in WCDMA and GSM flavors. It doesn’t seem to be available on our shores quite yet — if I have it my hot little hands, however, that means it should be online and in Nokia stores any day now. I can’t confirm right now, but it doesn’t look like any carriers will pick this old girl up, so you may need to spend about $499 on it.
The N76 comes with a high quality & fun camera feature which allows the user to take photos, edit photos, save photos & share them with other contacts. The camera is a 2 megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss Optics Tessar™ Lens. The camera comes complete with 20 x digital zoom & a LED flash which ensures a clear & precise photo is capture each & every time the camera is used. The user has the freedom to take photos when the phone is in the opened or closed position with the use of camera capture keys being situated externally. The camera feature comes with many useful & exciting camera modes & photo setting which allow the user to gain the perfect finish for their photos. The screens work as viewfinders for camera & video features.
The phone itself is quite stylish with a 2-megapixel camera and bright chromed color scheme. It his 13mm thick has 26MB internal memory with a hot swappable microSD card slot. It lasts about 160 minutes on one charge although I saw standby times of about 10 days with little use.
The user can record, play, stream, download, edit, share & video call using the Nokia N76’s video feature. The Nokia N76 comes with a built in video recorder which is easy to use & comes with many fun & useful settings & modes, ready & waiting for the user to edit their video recordings to perfection. The user can share their video with others by simply creating a multimedia message with video, text & sound. The user can have a face to face video call with other contacts who have a compatible 3G mobile phone with a video calling feature. The user can see their contact on the large internal screen & the second small camera on the N76 will record the user which will be seen by their compatible contact.
The N76 is available in red and black. My review sample was the red variety, and I have to say that while I don’t usually go for red in a handset the all metal casing and use of silver as the other colour does have a certain appeal. It won’t be for everyone, though, and the black alternative is a rather more subtle take on things.
This is a clamshell phone and a huge one. The flip format enables mobiles to be pretty small, but Nokia seems to have ignored that design possibility here. Measuring 106.5mm tall, 52mm wide and 13.7mm thick, it grows to a massive 185mm tall when the flip is opened. At 115g, at least it is not too heavy.
The size means this phone is a bit of a challenge for smaller pockets and also a challenge for smaller hands and you’ll need to both to open it, when a simple recess on the lid would have allowed for one handed opening.
