The Nokia N76 is a smartphone with a long list of features housed in a super-thin clamshell form factor. Key features include a memory card slot, full web browser, large QVGA main display, 2 megapixel camera, and Bluetooth.
IntroductionBack in January 2007 I had the chance to tour Nokia’s N-Series Pavilion at CES in Las Vegas. The buzz was all about the N95, Nokia’s then-unreleased flagship device with its 5MP camera, GPS, and extensive list of other features. But the N75 also caught my eye for two main reasons. First, it was by far the sleekest, sexiest handset I’d ever seen with the Nokia name on it. Second, it was being demoed with big ol’ DJ headphones hooked up to its 3.5mm audio...
DisplayLike it’s big brother the N75, the N76 sports two displays and both are excellent, though they’re both prone to fingerprints and smudges.

Since this is an unlocked phone, there are no carrier-branded Email or IM clients to be found. That’s good in the sense that you’re not being nudged towards any specific solution or provider, but bad in the sense that there are no handy-dandy wizards to...
ConclusionI commend Nokia for breaking out of their “rugged, functional, not so sexy” design mold with the N76. Though it’s easy to knock it as a RAZR knock-off, I still think it’s notable that Nokia built a slim flip phone without compromising any functionality. Series 60 OS, music player with external controls and 3.5mm headphone jack, 3G data (in Europe, anyway) -- this is a powerhouse of a handset packed into a tiny little body.
