Nokia N76 Hands-on

CES 2007 - The trend is thin and nobody can ignore it, not even Nokia. The Nokia N76 closes a gap in Nokia’s offering in a stylish way. They will probably hate me for saying this but the Nokia N76 looks like the RAZR and the Sanyo Katana. I don’t say that in a bad way – the RAZR design is what brought struggling Motorola back into the game.

However, the Nokia software is probably much better. Just like any phone in the N-Series, the N76 comes with the S60 (3rd edition) Symbian OS, a solid foundation to build applications. The user interface is fast and feature-complete from Music replay to Decent web-browsing. Note that when I went to ubergizmo.mobi our logo appeared monochrome for some reason. I did not have enough time to dig into the options but nothing obvious came to mind.

The phone is to be released in Q1 2007, no carriers partnership announced yet.
