The N77: A Blast From the Past
Nokia has always been a pioneer in the mobile phone industry, introducing innovative and feature-packed devices to the market. One such device was the N77, released in February 2007. Let's take a trip down memory lane and explore what made this device special.
Design and Dimensions
At only 114g and 18.8mm thickness, the N77 was surprisingly lightweight and sleek for its time. The phone had a compact body, measuring 111 x 50 x 18.8 mm, and came in only one color: black. It also featured a mini-SIM card slot, which was the standard at the time.
Display and Platform
The N77 sported a 2.4-inch TFT display with 16 million colors and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. While it may seem primitive compared to current smartphone screens, it was considered quite impressive back in 2007.
Under the hood, the N77 ran on the Symbian OS 9.1 with S60 rel. 3.1 user interface. It was powered by a 220 MHz Dual ARM 9 processor, which may not sound like much nowadays, but it was enough to handle basic tasks and features at that time.
Storage and Memory
The N77 had a measly 20MB of internal storage, but it did come with a microSD slot for expandable storage. It also had 64MB RAM, which was decent for a phone of its time.
Camera and Multimedia
The N77 had a 2MP single camera with an LED flash and the ability to record CIF videos. It also had a CIF videocall camera for selfies, which was a rare feature back then.
One of the phone's standout features was its DVB-H TV broadcast receiver, which allowed users to watch live TV on their phones. It also had a stereo FM radio and support for various multimedia formats through its media player. However, it lacked a 3.5mm audio jack, which meant users had to rely on a Pop-Port 2.0 for audio output.
Connectivity
The N77 supported GSM and UMTS networks and had a maximum speed of 384 kbps for data transfer. It also had Bluetooth 1.2 with A2DP support for wireless file sharing and a WAP 2.0/xHTML browser for internet access.
Battery and Other Features
The N77 came with a 1100 mAh removable Li-Ion battery that provided up to 4 hours and 30 minutes of talk time on 2G and 3 hours and 30 minutes on 3G. It also had some useful features such as predictive text input, voice command/dial, and an organizer for managing schedules and tasks.
The Verdict
The Nokia N77 may not have been a groundbreaking device, but it was a solid option for users back in 2007. It offered a variety of features, including a unique DVB-H TV broadcast receiver, and had a compact and lightweight design. While it may be discontinued now, it will always hold a special place in Nokia's history and the hearts of its loyal fans.
