Nokia N76
Encyclopedia
The Nokia N76 is a multimedia 3G
Smartphone
made by Nokia
. It was introduced at the Las Vegas
CES 2007
in January 2007 and was launched on 5 May 2007 with a sales price of 390 EUR. It is advertised as "The computer done beautifully" and as a "multimedia computer". It is also the slimmest Nseries phone to date, following many trends such as mirrored exterior screen and Motorola RAZR metal keypad. Hardware-wise the N76 bases off a platform by Freescale, being a first of kind in the family of “cheap” 3G
smartphones. In fact the difference between the OMAP2420
and this Freescale CPU, is the lack of a graphics accelerator.
The phone was originally released without stereo bluetooth
, but a later firmware update v30.0.015 adds A2DP and AVRCP bluetooth profiles. There are also numerous stability improvements and bug fixes as well as new features including the inclusion of Nokia Maps and a new search feature in active standby.
