Summary:
At CES 2007 Nokia launched the N76. The N76 was a thin clamshell style Nseries, reminiscnient of Motorola's popular RAZR series of phones. However as an S60 device it is capable of much more than your average fashion phone. The down side is it does seems to attract finger prints.
These images were captured at CES 2007.
