Nokia launches new handsets

A leading mobile phone manufacturer has announced the launch of two new handsets.

Nokia has introduced its N85 and N79 devices to the US market for the first time, which each of the systems set to be available from a number of retail channels across the country.

Both phones include five-megapixel cameras with Carl Zeiss optics, while they both offer space for an owner’s favourite tunes on microSD cards.

Discussing the N85, Alessandro Lamanna, vice-president of sales and retail for Nokia Americas, said it offered users "a great mobile gaming experience, lets you capture high quality videos, browse the web, shoot amazing high resolution pictures and enjoy a great music experience".

He added that the N79 boasts "a wealth of wizardry to make discovering and sharing experiences with friends a real pleasure".

It was recently revealed that a Motorola handset is now available in the UK for just under £3.

According to the Sun, Carphone Warehouse is now selling the W180 device for around £2.89.
