A Look At The Upcoming Nokia N96
April 14, 2008 Latest Mobile Phone News, Mobile Phone Manufacturers, Mobile Phone Releases, Nokia Mobile Phones, Smartphone, Technology News No Comments| One of the next set of N-Series phones from Nokia, the Nokia N96 builds on all the success of its predecessor, the N95 but with some extra features bringing it up to speed to be one of the top phones in the late-summer market.Once again we see the great camera features of the 5 Megapixel, Carl Zeiss camera with full realtime video (640×480, 30fps), WiFi, HSDPA 3G, and music features like the FM radio, but this time the radio includes RDS, the storage is up to a whopping 16GB with a MicroSD slot for further expansion, the GPS is tweaked to geotag your photos with the location of their capture and the N96 is equipped for DVB-H Mobile TV.While not available just yet in the UK, the inclusion of DVB-H is an interesting one. Following recent events that have seen the EU officially backing DVB-H as the standard Europe wants to see for mobile television and the authorisation of Oftel for the release of the frequencies this year, it should hopefully be set to be making an appearance around the time as the Nokia N96 is launched, if not shortly after. It is however very much a “watch this space” technology and it remains to be seen if it will prove to be worth the inclusion on Nokia’s part in the N96.
Once again this is a very full featured phone from Nokia, the N95 and more recent N95 8GB came in with a very impressive feature set, but the Nokia N96 builds on that even more, and looks as though they are becoming worthy of their “Mobile Computer” title that raised a few eyebrows at the start of the N-Series.
