Nokia releases N75, N76 in the U.S.

Nokia has just made available both N75 and N76 handsets to Americans via independent distributors instead of through deals with mobile operators. The N75 and N76 cellphones both run on the S60 platform, with the former being a quad band GSM handset that features stereo 3D sound, integrated speakers, dedicated music keys, Bluetooth with A2Dp connectivity, a microSD memory card slot, a 2 megapixel camera, and 40MB of internal memory. The N76 looks more trendy, featuring tempered glass or mirrored steel casings, an integrated FM receiver, built-in speakers, a microSD card slot, and a 2 megapixel camera. The N75 and N76 will retail for $429.99 and $499.99 respectively.
