Nokia N77: an N70 Successor

 

Nokia Nseries, the family of most classical and finest multimedia phones available in the market today, the reason for the success is the complexity & class of the series itself.

The Nseries started off with the first wave which included the Nokia N70, N71 and N91 4-gb edition. N70 being simplest and most comprehensive of the three marked its position as a mega-hit product by its “Slide ‘n’ Shoot Simplicity”. N71 being a bulky clamshell couldn’t make it and N91 4-gb had other flaws.

Since N70 was the first wave phone of Nseries, even though after the launch of its Music Edition, The users carrying the so called motive of “Slide ‘n’ Shoot Simplicity” just wanted something more than a black glossy housing and a 1-gb memory card.

So, the company launched N77, not being a member of the Music Edition, this phone comes with a sexy black housing. The texture of the phone is rather better than N70 Music Edition, it has the Symbian Version 3 operating system which makes it more visually flexible and user friendly.

According to the manufacturer, the viewing time of TV cannot be more than 5 hours (on a fully charged battery). The phone has a visual radio, similar to the one assembled in Nokia N70.

You might be curious to know about the dimensions of the this device, well you would be surprised to know that it weighs 114 grams and has a dimensions of 111 x 50 x 18.8 mm. As the phone has Symbian Operating System Version 3 the phone is quiet much graphical with visual sliding menus. The gallery of the phone is similar rotating one as like in N70.

There are dedicated media keys for TV, camera and volume keys are used for zooming in the camera view-finder. The media keys make the usage more rapid and easy.

The phone has an Ambient Light Detector for optimizing display brightness, camera auto-exposure and power consumption.
