Nokia Pours 4 New Entertainment Phones, 3 New Services

Just as expected, Nokia has made its big announcements in London, introducing four new devices capable of providing high-end entertainment solutions. The unexpected side of it was that Nokia 5700 Black Edition was the fifth device awaited for a release today, but which did not make it.

The Finnish company has also brought Ovi, the company's new Internet service brand name. This enables people to try and buy music as well as games from a wide range of artists and publishers.

Even more important, Nokia's Music Store has just hit the market to bring millions of tracks from major artists, independent labels as well as local hits. The service has been seen as a potential competitor for Apple's iTunes, which gives it a promising head start. The first devices optimized for this type of support are Nokia N81 and the 8GB version of Nokia N95, which have also been presented today in London.

The Nokia N-Gage mobile gaming service is the third of those unveiled today. This makes it possible to play all N-Gage games for free from any of the tens of millions of compatible Nokia devices on the market. Users can later choose to download and buy the game on the PC or mobile phone and continue to play.

Nokia N81 will come in two different versions, in order to best suit the user's needs. There will be a simple handset and an 8GB one, just as Nokia N95 is now available for purchase. Both these devices are capable of handling a large number of applications and provide entertainment, such as music, videos and games to their users. This makes them complex devices packed with the largest memory on the handset market at this time, 8 GB.

Two XpressMusic mobile phones have also been released today. Nokia 5310 and Nokia 5610 are the ones that will take care of the user's need for evolved music rendering. Playing songs at top quality is what they know best and now come to enlarge the line of music phones that Nokia has brought out on the market.
