Nokia trots out multimedia phone
Nokia, the world's largest cell phone maker, unveiled an all-in-one multimedia phone and a slimmer model targeting U.S. consumers at an event to showcase its multimedia devices on Tuesday.
Nokia said multimedia is the fastest growing mobile segment and this year it has already sold more than 10 million handsets in its upscale N-series.
The N95 will be the Finnish firm's first with a 5-megapixel camera, and it will also be sold with free maps from Tele Atlas and location data for consumers in more than 100 countries. The top camera phones today usually capture 3 megapixels.
Nokia's N-series phones have been intended as a move toward more stylish and lighter models, but reviewers and critics say it is still some way from rival Samsung's and Motorola's thin models.
The N75 and N73 are about three-quarters of an inch thick, compared with the RAZR from Motorola at about a half inch.
Nokia aims to sell 80 million music phones this year, outpacing sales of devices such as Apple's iPod.
