The Nokia N76 is remarkably thin - for a Nokia phone. Though it won't compete with the thinnest flip phones, such as Samsung's SPH-M610, the phone is a step thinner than Nokia's usual brick phones. The phone is mirror-like in its shine, very pretty, but quite fingerprint-prone. It can accept standard headphones with its 3.5mm jack up top, and features a camera on the outer shell, as well as a tiny pinhole camera facing the user. That facing camera may hint at which U.S. carrier will pick up the N76, but Nokia isn't saying. The screen, a 2.4-inch, 16-million color display, showed the richest colors we've seen on recent phones, and both the internal and external display handled video-recording clearly, with no blur or pixel noise.
