This text will be replaced
 The Nokia N76 is a frustrating phone when you realize just how much better it must be abroad. The phone's performance is a bit more zippy than the N75, and it includes niceties like a 3.5mm headphone jack and a slick design. Still, the lack of 3G support is a real let down, and though we hate it when carriers muck up the features on our favorite phones, in this case we wish a carrier would step in and make things better, like e-mail, IM and PlaysForSure support, all of which are better (or available) on the N75. Had Nokia addressed these concerns, and thought more about their audience, instead of simply selling what is clearly a European phone to the U.S. market, they would have a real winner on their hands. Instead, the phone just reminds us of what could have been. Release: June 2007. Price: $500.
Pros: Slick, shiny design. Great sounding calls. Good music player with dedicated hardware buttons. Rich, colorful displays.
Cons: Many European-only options that don't work here, including 3G, video conferencing and more. Poor camera quality. No preloaded e-mail or IM clients. No GPS.
