This coming Friday we can look forward to the “Next Episode,” an event being hosted by Nokia UK. Mad.co.uk has some insight as to what will actually happen at the event. A new 60 second commerical will be preimered called “Playful Discovery.” It will air in 62 countries simultaneously as well as in movie theatres. Nokia’s Music Store which will offer tracks at 1 Euro a pop and albums for 10 Euros will be launching this Friday along with the new N-Gage platform. Rumor has it the N82 will be announced as well, but I’m hearing conflicting information. The N82 being the N95 in a candybar form factor and swapping an LED flash for a Xenon based solution.

You can read my review of the N81 here, which is quite negative, but don’t forget to check out what Ricky and Mark have to say about their review units. I do admit that after owning the N81 for a little over a week it has grown on me, but it still has some gripes, mainly that the camera is piss poor and the price tag is way too high.

    Stefan, well, it does have a 8GB chip in it. Have not compared, but are there many phones around with that kind of storage at this price? And the regular N81 is of course an option.

    Good to see a BIG marketing push!
