Nokia unveiled new services and cell phones

[2007-09-12]

During the launch of the Nokia N81 and 8GB N95, Anssi Vanjoki (Nokia’s Executive VP) has been reported as saying “If there is something good in the world then we copy with pride”.

This was apparently said during a question and answers time after not only the Launch of the above two new mobile phones, but also when Nokia showed the world its “iPhone Clone”.

Nokia unveiled a whole slew of new handsets as well an over-the-air music download service and an online gaming service. First things first: those new telephones, the N95i, the N81 gaming phone, the 5610 XpressMusic (candy bar), the 5310 XpressMusic (slider) and finally, the 5700 XpressMusic. The N95i sports 8GB of storage, longer battery life, a slightly larger screen and a black chassis but is otherwise identical to the regular old N95. The N81, meanwhile, is a "multimedia computer," designed to find, buy, manage and play music and games purchased via the Nokia Music Store and N-Gage service. Then there's the XpressMusic phones: the 5610 promises up to 22 hours of music playback and capacity for 3,000 songs on an optional 4GB microSD card, the 5310 boasts up to 18 hours of music playback with support for the same 4GB SD card and the 5700 is, quite simply, a black version of the same old 5700.
