In a move matching recent cell phones promised from Motorola, [Nokia](http://www.nokia.com/?ref=hypebot.com) today upped the stakes by announcing a new line with advanced features including hard drives, improved cameras, video, and music storage.

According to a company press release the N91 can store 3,000 songs on its four-gigabyte hard disk, a capacity similar to that of Apple Computer’s iPod Mini and will go on sake by the end of this year. The N70, Nokia’s smallest so-called third-generation, (3G) hone will provide faster data-transmission speeds and will start selling in the third quarter. 

Global mobile phone sales rose 10 percent in the first quarter, slowing from a 44 percent increase in the quarter a year earlier, according to a survey from the consulting firm Strategy Analytics according to Reuters. 

The first "Nseries" handset, the N90, will go on sale within a month or two and it includes optics from the German lens maker Carl Zeiss and has a video recorder and i nternet browser. The company gave no prices.
