Anyone know how much these new Nokia N-Series phones will be coming out and
their estimated prices?

I haven't been excited with Nokia phones for several years now - the last
Nokia phone I had and actually thought was excellent was the Nokia 8850 so
hoping these new ones will be good.

Any comments on the new phones?

The Nokia website says end of this year, so it'll probably be the
middle of next year. Estimated to be very expensive.

The MP3 player one is nice.

I like that one too. I saw the size and is a bit bigger than I would have
liked - and a bit too heavy at 160g which is not what you want for the
summer. Can't they shrink it into the size of the 8850 and still put all the
bits in?

I think they do well to get a 4GB MP3 player into something the size of
an iPod Mini. To get a phone, WiFi and bluetooth as well into something
even smaller would be a tad tricky.

But hey, by the time they get around to actually launching it, it may
actually be possible!

Yeah they can... will they? no. Thats for next time... just when they stick
something usefull on the
phones like BT they will make lovely phones that dont include it. So you can
upgrade sooner
rather then make an amazing handset that you wont change for along time.

My friends Sony ericsson phone in japan has a 2 or 3 megapix camera with a
tv built in and some
other stuff.... What do we get? the Z1010...

I have a couple of issues with this phone.  I see the Battery is a BL-5C,
900, mAh, Li-Ion and wondered whats the point of having 3,000 songs to
listen to when the trade of with talk time is gonna seriously affect how
many choons you can listen to before needing a re-charge.  Anyone who has a
Nokia 6600 will I am sure be able to vouch for example how long the battery
lasts just by switching the Bluetooth on ;-(

If the songs are stored on a hard disk then when playing that will need
constant access and therefore power drain ;-(

Note that as yet no "playback" times are quoted.  Having just rerplaced an
iPOD battery and owning a 6600 I know how quick these things can run out.

Having looked on the Nokia.com site i also note that the bottom half of
phone slides down to reveal buttons for dialling and texting and these look
a a tad small and awkward but will wait and see what the real thing is like.

Just *my* thoughts

This is what mobile-review.com site says:

N70 Sept 550 Euro
N90 June 650 Euro
N91 July 750 Euro

I would have considered the N91 but the keys look cheap and tacky and seem
way too small, maybe they will refine them a bit more or maybe they just
look worse in photos than they are. Also if it costs £500 its going to be
approaching the cost of an ipod- even on contract.

I've just gone retro and ordered an 8850. I'll stick to my 20g ipod and
6630 for everything else other than incoming calls and txt. I doubt the
n91 is going to be here this side of xmas.
