Nokia N96 Review

The Nokia N96 is the flagship of the N-Series following on the heels of it’s older sibling the groundbreaking but troubled N95.

To call the N96 a multimedia computer is hardly an understatement both in features and in price. In fact this mobile does more than some laptops I’ve owned, all in one pocket-sized unit.

This is a genuine tool for today’s high-tech living. Of course it utilises Vodafone’s 3G network and networks across the globe, it is first and foremost a mobile phone, but that’s where the similarity to most others ends. Add to that a 5 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens and flash/spotlight– which takes the best pictures and video I have seen from a mobile to date.

With its stunning 2.8” display, built-in 3D stereo speakers and integrated kick-stand for an awesome video experience, the Nokia N96 will have you totally glued to its screen. The N96 is also packaged with a TV-out cable to allow for media consumption on even larger screens. It supports common video formats such as MPEG-4, WMV and Flash. Movies are quite comfortable to watch on the bright screen and I never had a problem with glare like many portable devices.

With an internal 16GB memory that can be increased to 24GB with a microSD card (not included), the Nokia N96 also offers an advanced music offering and can hold a music collection to satisfy even the most dedicated fan. Create personal music playlists by downloading tracks directly via online sites or synchronise PC and mobile libraries via USB. Alternatively, the built in tuner allows you to listen to all the local FM radio stations.
