Nokia hatched the Nseries as an elite brigade of 3G multimedia virtuosos. So elite in fact, that with the exception of the popular N70, getting your hands on these ‘multimedia computers’ has proved problematic.

The N90 didn’t even get picked up officially by a network operator. Its 4GB-hard-drive-packing musical sibling, the N91, hasn’t yet hit the shops despite being unveiled just under a year ago. And the N92 TV handset won’t even make it to UK shores because we don’t yet support Digital Video Broadcast for Handheld (DVB-H) technology.

Nokia has gone on record declaring that the Nseries is an exercise in chest thumping and concept building, showing just how high mobile technology can reach, but these handsets have niche appeal, with the majority lacking any mainstream allure. So while we wait for the N91, the next Nseries instalment looks likely to be the N80 slider. [3G!]
