With devices like the N81 and N95, you get incredible cameras, lots of games, and plenty of music. On the other hand, you have the more messaging-friendly E-series. With handhelds like the E61i, you get a full QWERTY keyboard, push email, and other business-oriented goodies. Up until now, the two lines have not really found any center ground. That’s about to change.

There are rumblings on the Internet that Nokia is lastly working on an N-Series device that has a full QWERTY keyboard, the main feature that has been lacking from the creation line thus far. Details are pretty slim at this point and the supposed cell phone doesn’t even have a name yet.

There are whispers that this new N-series phone will have a candy bar form factor similar to the E61i (also like the Moto Q and Samsung Blackjack) and it will be powered by the S60 3rd Edition FP2 operating system. Set for presentation around the next half of this year, the new Smartphone is said to rock filled QWERTY, a 5MP or 6MP camera, 30fps DVD video recording, and integrated GPS. Sounds so hawt! It’s almost certainly attractive freaking luxurious too.
