Awesome Nokia

Nokia’s N85 is N96’s media-oriented sibling; while smaller, the 2.6″ screen is a bright AMOLED display. Also includes an FM radio, 8GB microSD card, 5 MP camera and 10 N-Gage games.

The Nokia N96 slider cellphone will arrive in the US 4Q 2008; it will be able to handle US 3G networks. Unfortunately, no carrier will pick it up, meaning you’ll have to foot the bill.

Nokia has released the Carbon Arte, an ultra-premium version of their popular 3G 8800 slider phone. The bulk of the cost: carbon fiber, polished glass, titanium and stainless steel.

Nokia’s 3610 clamshell phone is targeted towards budget users, but it manages to pack in bluetooth, a 1.3 MP camera and microSD support. The analog clock display is a nice touch, too.

Choosing between Nokia and Blackberry? BGR’s E71 vs. Bold comparo is worth a read. Conclusion: the E71 is the best phone ever to run S60, but the Bold remains king for business users.

As of today, Nokia’s 5610 XpressMusic is available at T-Mobile. Ideal for music lovers, this slider phone has built-in FM radio and stereo bluetooth; it also has quad-band but is EDGE only.

Only 0.39″ thin, the Nokia E71 has arrived in the US. Enterprise-grade features include 3G, Wi-Fi, Exchange and VPN. Our favorite: GPS pinpoints your location and gives turn-by-turn navi.
