Nokia's strategic nomenclature can be traced back in 2005 when the Nseries line was launched, offering devices with flagship specifications and premium hardware at various price points. These devices were considered the "bread and butter" of the company and were often positioned to showcase their latest technologies.[1] Thanks to the newfound consumer and enterprise interest in smartphones at the time, the company introduced four additional collections to diversify their product portfolio and meet demands in most market segments. These new phone series were named Eseries,[2] targeting small business and enterprise customers;[3]Xseries, providing consumer-grade multimedia-focused devices;[4][5][6]Cseries, which Nokia used to target both the low-end and mid-range market segments;[7] and Tseries, for devices exclusive to the Chinese market.[8]
Nokia Nseries was a multimedia smartphone and tablet product family that served as the company's flagship portfolio. It was aimed at users looking to pack as many features as possible into one device.[9]
Nokia N70[10] is one of the first products successfully launched from the series. It has introduced a sliding camera cover on its rear view, protecting the lens and triggers the camera feature when opened, which was later used in other phones created by Nokia.[11]High resolution 2-megapixelcamera with video capture, Bluetooth, FM radio, RealPlayer media viewing and support for WAP 2.0 are also the notable features offered by this device.[12]
Nokia N71[13] is a phone in clamshell form factor,[14] mostly recommended for consumers who search for enhanced ergonomics due to its button arrangement.[15] It supports SMS, MMS, voice and video calling, Internet browsing, Bluetooth wireless technology, among many other features. Like the Nokia N70, it has a 2-megapixel camera.[16] To connect with PC, it uses the proprietary Pop-Port medium.
Nokia N72[17] is a stylish Nseries device that comes in two designs: gloss black[18] and pearl pink.[19] It only runs through the GSM network, and has no front-facing camera.[20] The device takes from Nokia N70's design cues.
Nokia N73[21] is one of the range's best-selling smartphones.[22] Apart from the more compact design, it also has improved its camera compared to the Nokia N72, packing 3.2-megapixels with Carl Zeiss lens.[23] It is capable of video calling, and was the first device to be termed the "multimedia computer."[24] The camera is praised for taking sharp, clear and crisp photos.[25]
Nokia N91 was the first ever phone encompassing a 4 GB internal hard drive, allowing storage for 3,000 songs (an 8 GB revision came later). The N91 is highly focused on music, with dedicated music keys on the front which slide down to reveal the keypad. It also featured the industry-standard 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Nokia N95 is a smartphone announced in September 2006 and released to the market in March 2007. The N95 ran S60 3rd Edition, on Symbian OS v9.2. It has a two-way sliding mechanism, which can be used to access either media playback buttons or a numeric keypad. The N95 was a high-end model that was marketed as a "multimedia computer", much like other Nseries devices.[1] It featured a then-high 5 megapixel resolution digital camera with Carl Zeiss optics and with a flash, as well as a then-large display measuring 2.6 inches. It was also Nokia's first device with a built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, used for maps or turn-by-turn navigation, and their first with an accelerometer. It was also one of the earliest devices in the market supporting HSDPA (3.5G) signals.
