Nokia N76 - Menu

The menu of the Nokia N76 is synoptic and provided with clearly recognizable symbols. If the symbols are still not clear enough, these are also supported by a word that tells us what every menu subject serves as. You can let the menu represent like blocks next to each other, in a horse shoe or V design or as a list. Personally, I think the reproduction in blocks the most synoptic. The most important subjects like the phone book, SMS messages, multimedia files, the calendar and the Bluetooth functions, can be opened directly via the main screen of the Nokia N76.

Nokia N76 - MP3 player

The MP3 player or better: the multimedia player of the Nokia N76 is of an extraordinary quality. Nevertheless, I detect a little fault in the design with the use of the headphones; when the headphones are plugged into the mobile, the flap can’t open all the way. When the mobile phone is closed, you can use the three buttons on the front side to start the MP3 player, to rewind or forward to the next song or to pause. By means of the button on the right hand side of the handset, you can manage the volume of the song that is playing at that moment.

Nokia N76 - Battery

The battery of the Nokia N76 is a 3.7 Volt 700mAh Nokia BL-4B battery. According to Nokia, the standby time of the Nokia N76 is 200 hours and the calling time 2 hours and 45 minutes. The times which Nokia indicated are realistic, the standby time is even one to two days longer, according to what I measured. The calling time will be about the time that Nokia indicated. It will of course be different if you send SMS messages constantly or if you use the MP3 player a lot or watch a lot of films.

Nokia N76 - Monitor

The monitor of the Nokia N76 is a sixteen million color screen with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. The monitor is of a good quality, shows clear colors and the borders of images or letters are sharp. In general, everything that is reproduced on the monitor can clearly be read, even in direct sunlight. The screen on the outside cannot be used anymore in direct sunlight, but usually shadow can be created quickly with such a small screen.
