Nokia today introduced the Nokia N77 handheld, offering an optimized mobile TV experience in a compact form factor. As the latest integrated DVB-H device in the Nokia Nseries range, the Nokia N77 enables living room TV viewing.
The dedicated TV key on the Nokia N77 gives consumers straight access to a world of DVB-H TV. It even remembers the last channel viewed when the TV was switched off. Users can also set reminders to alert them when their program is starting and access it at the push of a button. Through the Program Guide in the mobile TV application they can view program information up to seven days, browse TV channels, purchase new channels if desired and select the TV program they are interested in.
By utilizing built-in interactive service functionality, like SMS voting for deciding what music video will be played next, it is very easy to make voices heard. Users can also take full advantage of 30 seconds replay and continue live TV watching after the replay clip.
With up to 2 GB of memory and integrated stereo speakers, the Nokia N77 also features great mobile music experiences. The Nokia N77 offers storage of up to 1500 tracks. Enjoy favorite DJs or discover a rich new world of music with Visual Radio. With support for MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+ and WMA, no song should go unheard. For enhanced personal sound quality, connect the in-box earphone buds or use the Nokia Audio Adapter with standard 3.5 mm connector to hook up to a compatible headphone.
With practically all the applications users would expect from a true Nokia Nseries multimedia computer, including a 2.0-megapixel camera (1600 x 1200 px), the Nokia N77 is much more than just live TV. Designed to work on 3G (WCDMA 2100 MHz), EDGE and GSM (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) networks, with the Nokia N77 consumers can manage their day on the go with email, calendar and to-do lists.
The Nokia N77, based on S60 3rd Edition software on Symbian OS, is expected to start shipping during the second quarter of 2007 in countries where DVB-H services are available, with an estimated, pre-tax, unsubsidized sales price of approximately 370 euros.
