Nokia N85 and Nokia N79
officially announced today in UK!?

Although it is not possible to find anything officially on Nokia pages, Pocket-Lint claims that Nokia has officially announced the launch of the Nokia N79 and Nokia N85 handset in the UK.

NokiaN85 offers a 2.6-inch AMOLED QVGA (scren has faster response time, lower power consumption and faster refresh rate than LCD, which lends the screen to fast motion video and gaming) with up to 16 million colours display, a 5 MPX camera, and geotagging capabilities.

Phone will support N-Gage platform of course and will come with at least 10 pre-loaded demo titles and it will be possible to choose one licensed game for free. Yes you read it right, 10 demos titles and one full game for free!

Supporting GPS, the handset will offer Nokia Maps 2.0 on board and come with an FM Transmitter, with direct access to the Nokia Music Store, power for up to 28 hours of music playback plus 3.5mm headset connector and dedicated music keys for non-stop music enjoyment. The new handset is expected to hit the UK next month. There is no build in flash memory but it comes with an 8GB card in the box!!

N79 - for the 'stylish'

Nokia N79 is the new entertainment focused candybar handset, will be similar to the N85, also announced today, although come with a more stylised focus.

For those worried about matching their handset with their outfit when they hit the streets, three smart covers are included in every box, with the ability to change the theme's, as you might expect, accordingly.

Phone looks like the Nokia N78 successor and features a 5 MPX sensor supported with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED-flash and geotagging.

Elsewhere on the multimedia front will be an FM Transmitter, with direct access to the Nokia Music Store, power for up to 24 hours of music playback plus 3.5mm headset connector and dedicated music keys for non-stop music enjoyment

Taking advantage of that GPS, Nokia has also bundled in Nokia Maps 2.0 and it also comes with a respectible 4GB MicroSD memory card in the box. It is also intrensting that phone brings back the Xpress-on covers and offers two front and five back colours and styles to choose from!

The Nokia N79 will retail for around €350 (£279), while the Nokia N85 will cost €450 (£358), though you'll never see these in these shops, thanks to magic subsidies and the like.

That’s all for now, waiting for the official materials that are suppoused to be available tomorrow!?!?
