Three days after we wrote that the Finnish mobile giant might be unveiling more new N-series phones, Nokia announced five addons, including three intended to enhance the user's mobile and music experience. The release comes a day before Nokia is to take the wraps off its new handsets at a media launch in Manila, with the rollout of the five new mobile phone accessories starting the ball rolling.

Among them are two Bluetooth headsets, two portable speaker systems and a full-sized headphone. No pricing details were given at press time, but all are expected to ship in Q4 of this year.
