Nokia N81

The smart money says that Nokia will announce its new N81 phone on August 29th at a press event in London. The only official evidence so far is the obligatory viral marketing campaign, at the site 070829 (the launch date in non-American format).
According to Tech.co.uk, the new slider will be an 8GB music phone, with a 3G HSDPA radio and a 2MP cam. Better than that, though, is the possibility of it featuring Next Gen N-Gage, an update to Nokia's fondly regarded gaming platform.

The event, to be held at the Ministry of Sound nightclub, is also expected to to see the announcement of a new music download service from the Finnish phone company, a nice little slap back at Apple who just muscled in on Nokia's turf .
