Nokia N76 goes on a diet

Say what you like, but thin is in. Even Nokia acknowledges this trend with its latest offering, the Nokia N76. The N76 is very similar to the RAZR and Sanyo Katana at first glance, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The N76 ships with the highly acclaimed S60 (3rd Edition) Symbian OS, offering unparalleled speed during navigation and a host of features which range from music playback to a decent Web-browsing experience.

What are the other goodies that come with the N76? For starters, you get a 2 megapixel camera and a microSD expansion slot. Nokia expects to release the N76 sometime in Q1 2007 with a yet undisclosed carrier partnership or price. Check out the list below for the complete set of features.
