Nokia N81

The Nokia N81 8GB-packed music phone is likely to be one of the new multimedia phones introduced by Nokia at its London launch on 29 August.

The Nokia N81 hasn’t been officially announced by Nokia yet. But a viral advertising campaign is underway which features what appears to be the N81 with a countdown timer onscreen counting down to 9am on 29 August. That’s the time of Nokia’s UK press launch (Tech.co.uk will of course be reporting from the launch).



Other features are as follows:

* Form factor: slide
* Dimensions: 102 x 50 x 17.9 mm
* Weight: ~ 140g
* Memory: 8GB internal flash memory
* Music Playback time: up to 12,5 hours
* Gaming time: up to 3-4 hours
* Talk time: up to 3-4 hours (3G)/3-4 hours(GSM)
* Standby time: up to 15 days
* Main Display: 2.4″QVGA 240×320, 16M colors
* Main Camera: 2Mpix
* Second Camera: CIF

It will feature extensive music player functionality, and is also thought to be one of the first wave of new Symbian S60 smartphones to feature Nokia’s new N-Gage gaming platform.

The viral ad involves a moody black screen with moving shapes and swooping coloured spotlights moving around apparently randomly, occasionally forming the shape of a phone.
