Loading ...Nokia’s Hot New iPhone-Killers
Spurred on by, no doubt, by the iPhone’s imminent European release, Nokia yesterday unveiled its latest set of multimedia-ready handsets, including a version of the high-end N95 optimized for the high-speed 3G networks of the U.S. We got an early hands-on look, and were, for the most part, impressed.

Nokia N81: This is a sleek and slim music and media phone (pictured) that many people are calling Nokia’s answer to the iPhone (probably because it shares the iPhone’s onboard memory size of 8GB). Compared to the iPhone, though, it’s considerably smaller (like a small candy bar) and more powerful, in our opinion, but then again so are most phones, considering the iPhone’s lack of picture- and video-messaging or camcorder ability (among other features standard on even entry-level phones these days). Like other N-series phones, the N81 is feature-packed, with built-in push e-mail, support for most types of music formats and podcasts, Bluetooth stereo capability, and Wi-Fi that not only lets you surf the Internet, but also play the media on your phone on any wireless-enabled TV, stereo, or PC.
