Overview
The Nokia N76 is suspiciously similar to the Nokia N75, though the former is available unlocked while the latter is available only through Cingular. The difference between the two phones are obvious at first glance, but beneath the surface, what truly separates them is the difference between buying a carrier-supported phone, and buying what is truly a European import, sold to American customers. Most egregiously, the phone supports 3G networking in Europe, but cannot surf AT&T’s HSDPA network stateside.
The N76 may not have the extensive feature set of its much-lauded N-series companion, the N95, but there’s more than enough to keep you connected and entertained.
First up is a 2-megapixel LED flash camera — a surprisingly low resolution when you consider the number of phones sporting 3-megapixel versions. Photos can be taken in two ways — with the phone opened, or with the phone closed and held horizontally, where the external display acts as a viewfinder. We found the closed method was the best way to capture snaps, as finding the teeny shutter button when the phone is open is very awkward indeed.
Space-wise you’ve got 26MB of internal memory, with a microSD slot that will give you up to 2GB extra space. Our review model came with a 512MB card. Like other models in the N series, the phone has a focus on multimedia, with its music player capable of handling MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+ and WMA files. There is also an FM radio, but the lack of A2DP Bluetooth support means you can’t bust out those snazzy wireless headphones to hear your music.
