The N76: Back From the Dead and Now With Half a Keyboard

The Boy Genius Report has word of a new Nokia phone (code name: WAHOO) that’s slated to hit AT&T some time in the future. It looks just like the ill-fated N76, Nokia’s answer to the ridiculousness that was the RAZR. Specs are fairly sparse right now, but it looks like the flip is a quad-band connected phone with WCDMA 850/1900, 2 megapixel camera with flash, 2.5mm headset jack (lol), A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 + A2DP, and up to 4 hours of battery life (UMTS). Screen size leaves a little bit to be desired, with a 2.2 inch main display and 1.36 inch front display. The half-QWERTY keyboard looks similar to the one featured on the Blackberry 8220 Pearl Flip phone currently turning heads at T-mobile (or not). The entire device looks like a weird cross between the 8220 and the RAZR. Quote from BGR specs: “In the smart phone QWERTY category, “WAHOO” will stand out as stylish and one of the few options in the familiar and preferred fold form.”
