Nokia Preparing Mid-Priced TV Phone?

With the Sony Ericsson phones and the iPhone revealed, there weren't that many rumors about mobile phones lately.

But this is all about to change because it looks like a new Nokia handset is about to be presented at the 3GSM event next week, and it doesn't really look like anything you've seen the Finish mobile phone manufacturer produce before.

If you thought that Nokia's shown all they had to show this year, it looks like they will still keep presenting new mobile phones and won't come to 3GSM empty handed.

According to rumors, Nokia is planning to add one more mobile phone to their N-series range and unveil a mid-priced TV mobile phone next week.

The N77 will apparently be able to receive TV signals in DVB-H technology and according to the source: "immediately when the phone prices reach the 200-300 euro price point, mobile television goes mass market."

There is no way to tell whether the phone will look like the one in the photo, but the design is not very typical for Nokia mobile phones. From the looks of it, there is also a slight chance that it may be the product of one of those Chinese manufacturers.

Nokia is currently offering the N92 that also allows the user to watch TV, but when compared to the N77, it is a much more advanced handset with a higher price.

Nokia declined to comment on the rumored product launch but the 3GSM is only a few days away and we will soon find out if this mobile phone actually exists.
