Nokia's N77 sports a simple candy bar form factor, and is draped in a matte silver and gray finish. The handset itself is pretty unassuming, except for a vivid 2.4-inch widescreen display, which highlights the N77's main feature, live mobile television.
The N77 includes DVB-H technology, similar to MediaFLO here in the U.S., which allows for live, streaming TV on handsets. This candy bar displays video in landscape mode and fills up the screen for optimal watching, rather than incorporating a swivel screen like we saw on LG's VX9400
TV phone. The N77 also features a dedicated TV button on its keypad for one-touch access, along with an integrated program guide that lets you know what's on. Unfortunately, since the N77 uses DVB-H and not MediaFlo like the VX9400, the chances of seeing the N77 stateside aren't good.
However, there's more to the N77 than just TV; the candy bar has a 2-megapixel camera and a music player that supports MP3, AAC, WMA, AAC+ and eAAC+ files. The phone also crams in 2GB of internal memory to store all your tracks, and bundles a 3.5mm headphone adaptor so you can use your own cans.
