The 7900 also has a 2 megapixel camera and 1Gb of internal storage.
The 7500 Prism is the budget GSM model with similar taste in exterior decoration and a 2 megapixel camera. But it can also store up to 1,500 songs on an optional-extra 2Gb microSD card.
Battery life will support up to nine hours of music play-back, said Nokia.
