(InfoWorld) - Nokia has introduced several phones and also announced a music recommendation service that hints at the potential for a full-blown music store from the company. The N75, announced Tuesday, is Nokia's smallest multimedia phone and is targeted at the U.S. market. The new phone includes a camera, a music player and Internet access. Nokia has been under pressure to release new, attractive devices in the U.S. since it announced in June that it will stop making CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) phones, which are widely used in the U.S. "We don't rest until we make it here in the U.S.," said Anssi Vanjoki, executive vice president and general manager of multimedia for Nokia, during an event in New York that was Webcast. "The N75 will be my tool to get that going." Nokia also introduced the N95, a phone that includes a 5-megapixel camera, GPS (Global Positioning System) capability with mapping applications and 3D graphics. The N95 will operate on broadband WCDMA (wideband CDMA) and HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) networks in Europe and Asia. It will also include Wi-Fi. The phone is based on Nokia's S60 software and the Symbian operating system and comes with Nokia's Web browser. Users can insert microSD cards for extra storage on the device and connect via mini USB (Universal Serial Bus) for data transfer. The N95 is expected to become available in the first quarter of 2007 for â¬550 ($703). The N75 will cost between $350 and $390 and should be available by the holiday buying season. Along with the phones, Nokia announced a music service that will become available worldwide by year-end. Registered users of the service can browse a Web site to read music recommendations. Nokia has lined up 40 recommenders who are independent music enthusiasts working for well-known record shops around the globe. Nokia has also signed on musician David Bowie to contribute a monthly feature or podcast about new music that he has discovered. Visitors to the site will also be able to listen to music clips and read artist interviews. The site will be launched first in the U.K. and Australia, although music fans around the world will be able to sign up to those sites when they're launched. Access to the site will be free. Vanjoki hinted that the site might be expanded based on technology Nokia expects to acquire through theÂ purchase of Loudeye. That acquisition, announced in August, hasn't closed yet so Vanjoki said he couldn't provide further details on how Loudeye's technology might be relevant to the new music recommendation site. He called Tuesday's announcement a "precursor" of things to come. Nokia also introduced music editions of three existing phones, the N70, N73 and N91. The phones include dedicated music access keys, additional storage capacity and new software to make synching easier.

Nokia introduced the successor to its popular&#160;N95 mobile phone, the N96, featuring a slightly larger screen, as well as an upgraded mapping program.The N96, due out by September, has a 2.8-inch LCD TFT screen, a bit larger than the N95&#39;s 2.6-inch screen. Minus subsidies and taxes, the phone will sell for &#8364;550 ($800), Nokia said at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday.The N96 has 16GB of internal flash memory -- enough to hold roughly 40 hours of video or 12,000 songs -- plus a slot for an 8GB microSD memory card.Other features are a video camera that records at 30 frames per second and a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics. The N96 also includes Nokia&#39;s Assisted GPS (Global Positioning System) application, which lets users put markers on the photos based on their location, known as &quot;geotagging.&quot; Photos can then be uploaded to photo-sharing services such as Yahoo&#39;s Flickr, Nokia said.A-GPS is also a feature on three other new Nokia products: the 6210 Navigator, 6220 classic and the N78. The phones will also have Maps 2.0, Nokia&#39;s latest upgrade to its mapping program, also announced Monday. Maps 2.0 has been in a beta release, and Nokia has been expanding the number of countries that Maps covers.The most notable feature of Maps 2.0 is the &quot;Walk&quot; feature for pedestrians. The feature taps into a piece of technology in the 6210 -- an &quot;accelerometer&quot; -- that detects when a walker changes direction. Used with the device&#39;s built-in compass, a pedestrian can watch their progress on the mapping program as they are moving, as well as get directions to a different location.Minus taxes and subsidies, the 6210 Navigator will retail for &#8364;300; the 6220 classic for &#8364;325 and the N78 for &#8364;350. The 6210 and 6220 should be available by September, with the N78 coming out before the end of June, Nokia said.Nokia is also trying build interest in Ovi.com, its Web site where users can share photos, buy music and access third-party services such as Flickr. The latest upgrade, &quot;Share on Ovi,&quot; lets people create a personal account to publish their photos.The service is free and intended to be a one-stop place where people can manage their content on their phones and PCs. However, Ovi.com is in a field crowded with other competitors, such as Facebook.Nokia also took a step in the mobile advertising arena. The company has launched the Nokia Media Network, a consortium of operators and publishers. Nokia said the platform will let advertisers book mobile ad campaigns, reaching some 100 million mobile users.Media publisher Hearst, Reuters, Sprint, and Discovery Communications have joined the network, Nokia said.
