Nokia’s in the news again with its new N-series. Rolling out in September is the N70, a 3G phone with a 2-megapixel in-built camera. According to Nokia, the N70 weighs a rather heavy 126g, with a width of 5.3cm and a thickness of 2.18cm. But you can forgive the bulk as the N70 allows you to print pictures directly to a compatible printer. Also, with RealPlayer installed, you can catch your favourite music and movies on the move.

If you’re fretting about the mere 30MB inbuilt memory, the Nokia 64MB Multi Media Card is your solution for more storage space. While N70 may seem the perfect companion for a constant dose of entertainment on the go, you may want to compare it with existing models like the N6610, which has specifications only slightly inferior to N70.

What is 3G?
3G stands for 3rd generation mobile telephone technology. “The services associated with 3G provide the ability to transfer both voice data (telephone call) and non-voice data (such as downloading information, exchanging email and instant messaging)”, according to Wikipedia.
