.

, it has fixed mass storage
of 16GB without a memory card
slot, no FM transmitter and a less advanced camera, with Extended Depth of Field, instead of autofocus
as in the N8 and the E90. Like the Nokia N8
, it comes with an HDMI
-out connector and a non-user-replaceable battery that is smaller than the E90's.

(AMOLED) ClearBlack technology with a slightly lower resolution than the E90.
