Nokia N-series: Multimedia mobiles

Stylishly designed and brimming with features, Nokia's N-series handsets up the ante on multimedia mobiles.

Supporting high-speed wireless technologies such as HSDPA and Wi-Fi, Nokia's N-series mobiles are built to stream video, play music, take photos and video clips, and share content easily with friends. All feature high-spec digital cameras and handle mobile web browsing with aplomb.

Since the Finnish released the ground-breaking N95 last year, the competition has closed in with strong, full-featured devices from Samsung, LG and the Australian release of the Apple iPhone 3

G. Despite the alternatives, Nokia's N-series continues to define what we expect in a multimedia mobile handset.

Nokia N96

Without any significant technological advances since its predecessor, the N96 struggles to impress. Its 16GB of storage is great, and the kickstand is a handy addition, but overall Nokia's latest "flagship" model has little to justify its top-shelf price tag.

Nokia N95

If you need an all-in-one communications, navigation and imaging device and don't mind charging it every night, Nokia's N95 raises the bar in the mobile world.

Nokia N95 8GB

An upgrade to the crowd-pleasing, GPS-toting N95, this music-focused version adds a larger screen and 8GB of internal memory to its predecessor

Nokia N82

Nokia's latest N-series handset combines the form factor of the N73 and the feature set of the N95 into one powerful camera-phone package.

Nokia N73

Nokia's N73 is one of the best camera phones we've seen

this year, with a wide range of multimedia and business features tucked under its belt. Responsiven

ess, however, is not a strong point.

Nokia N810 Internet Tablet

Though not necessarily worth the price for an upgrade, the Nokia N810 Internet

Tablet brings some nice additions to the mobile Web browsing device, including a full Qwer

ty keyboard and integrated GPS.
