Nokia N76 now shipping in "key markets"

When we say "key markets," we naturally mean that the US is left squarely out of the equation (can't you almost feel the bitterness in our voice here?). Alas, folks in parts of Asia, Europe, and the Middle East can now get their hands on the slimmest -- and arguably most attractive -- device in Nokia's multimedia-centric Nseries range, the N76. Furthermore, buyers in a handful of European countries will be given a voucher to download five "pre-selected" tracks by the band Travis from MSN's music store; according to the VP of Brand Entertainment for Sony BMG Europe, Travis' "target audience" fits well with Nokia N76 buyers (who knew?), so the promotion should work out swimmingly. Prices are set by Nokia's regional distributors, but we'd expect interested folk to pay somewhere in $500 range for the privilege of owning the slimmest Nokia flip on the block.

That is a pretty cool looking phone. I think it may come to the US eventually, it just takes them longer to get here because of fcc compliance and all of that technical stuff. But i think the demand is there. So it shouldn't be too long. If you really want one, you could probably get one unlocked and use it like that. Although i dont think the 3G will work here. So if you aren't using it for data, there isn't a difference.
 
Hard to believe that anyone who wants to pass him/herself off as knowledgeable about cellular wouldn't know that the USA is not considered a "key" market. The US is less than 6% of the global GSM market.
