Nokia has announced that the N91 'multimedia device' has been released in the USA. The N91 is aimed primarily at people who want a music player as well as a handset, with an inbuilt 4Gb hard drive, a standard 3.5mm headphone socket, dedicated keypad keys to access music playback functions, PC Synchronisation and wireless LAN support. The phone also supports the sharing of playlists via text messaging or bluetooth connectivity.

As an added bonus, the stainless steel-encased Nokia N91 comes preloaded with exclusive content from the series of Live8 concerts that were held in July 2005. An estimated three billion people watched Live8 with one message in mind - make poverty history. People who buy the Nokia N91 can enjoy videos of the Live8 performances by a range of world-famous artists.

"The second Nokia Nseries flagship device to hit the US, the Nokia N91 is ready to rock the US audience. It combines a high-fidelity music experience with all the benefits of a multimedia computer," said David Watkins, Director, Multimedia Computers for Nokia North America. "The Nokia N91 delivers on the Nokia Nseries promise in a very compelling way. Its multiple connectivity and powerful performance in all areas, truly makes it the world's best mobile connected jukebox."

The handset also includes the now almost standard 2megapixel camera, Internet browsing support, with support for RSS feeds, and push email support alongside the usual array of application support through the Nokia PC Suite.
