Nokia will Connect
Communities with N79
Nokia
has unveiled the Nokia N79, the latest addition to the Nokia Nseries range
that combines customizable design with a multimedia computer. It offers
integrated navigation, music with FM transmitter, high-speed connectivity,
web browsing, at least 10 pre-loaded N-Gage games, and an advanced 5
megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics. The Nokia N79 is expected to
begin shipping in October 2008, with an estimated retail price of EUR 350.
The
convergence of photos, music and navigation in the Nokia N79 combines with
high-speed 3.5G HSDPA and Wi-Fi to make it quick and easy to share
experiences on websites, blogs, or online communities.
You can
log on to online community sites like Friendster, Flickr, or YouTube or
click through to Nokia services such as the Nokia Music Store, N-Gage,
Nokia Maps and Share on Ovi, an online service that enables consumers to
share personal pictures and videos from their mobile devices.
The Nokia
N79 comes with Xpress-on smart covers that are available in five cool
colors: Light Sea Blue, Espresso Brown, Olive Green, White, and Coral Red.
A combination of three of these comes with each Nokia N79.
The 5
megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash and video light
captures sharp, clear images and video that can be edited immediately,
without the need for a PC. Images can also be geotagged to specific
locations.
What's
more, the Nokia N79 comes packaged with a 4 GB microSD memory card that
makes it possible to store around 3,000 songs, approximately 2,500
pictures, and up to four hours of DVD-quality video clips that can be
organized by albums or tags and uploaded directly to Share on Ovi or third
party services. The addition of a sliding lens cover helps protect the
lens when not in use.
Nokia
Maps makes it easy to explore and navigate new surroundings by accessing
more than 15 million points of interest (POI). In-built A-GPS providing
turn-by-turn navigation - for walking or driving - comes with a three
month integrated license on the Nokia N79.
A
Friendster widget will also be made available for the Nokia N79 via the
WidSets service. This will allow people to browse Friendster friends'
profiles, view and post shoutouts, upload pictures taken with their
handset, and browse their own and friends' photo albums.
All this
enables more effective communication with friends while away from a
computer using the Nokia N79. New users can even register for Friendster
directly on their device via a link to Friendster's mobile site (m.friendster.com),
create an account, and instantly begin participating in the Friendster
global community.
