Nokia's N95 and E71 support Wi-Fi.
Nokia released the N95 cellphone in 2007, and the E71 appeared in 2008. The chunky N95, featuring a two-way slider design, 5-megapixel camera and good video capability, was hailed by PC Magazine as the "most powerful multimedia phone in the USA." With its full keyboard, the slim E71 offers a BlackBerry-like design for easy messaging. Both phones use the Symbian operating system, which Nokia announced in 2011 it will abandon in favor of Windows Phone 7.
