The company unveiled the N91 handset this week with the aim of taking on the iPod, which has sold millions of units across the world and has spawned numerous variations, from the iPod Mini to the iPod Shuffle and Photo iPod.
The N91 is due to be in shops by Christmas and will sell for a hefty 拢450 without a contract. This compares with around 拢300 for an 20GB Photo iPod, which holds 7,500 songs.
The N91 features include a web browser, a two-megapixel camera, 4GB of storage for music, although with a battery life of 12.5 hours that is less than the new generation of iPods, which Apple claims run for up to 15 hours.
Unlike the iPod, the N91 will let users download music while they are out and about, instead of having to be connected to a computer, as is the case with iPod.
Jonas Geust, vice-president of music at Nokia, said: "What sets the Nokia N91 apart is the fact that it is always connected -- you can download new music while on the move, add it to your favourite playlist and then share your playlist with friends. It's truly the world's best mobile connected jukebox."
