Nokia N96

Nokia N96

Every time the Nokia Nseries numbering goes up a notch geeks are holding their breath. Being a successor of the Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia N96 has some king-size spec sheet to top and it can't be accused of not trying.  There are Smartphone’s available that have been designed for messaging and then there are Smartphone’s that have been designed with all possible features known to mankind. The Nokia N96 is this kind of product.  The device comes with a music player with support for all common music formats, a stereo FM radio with RDS and Visual Radio support, integrated handsfree speaker, speaker independent voice dialing, talking ringtones, HSDPA (enabling fast downloads at up to 3.6 Mbps).  The N96 has the full range of connectivity possibilities, with support for Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, Wireless LAN, TV-Out and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The memory upgrade to 16GB and support for microSD memory cards is very welcoming too, for a device of this power.  Also, accessing internet videos is quick and simple. The Nokia N96 supports common video formats including MPEG-4, Windows Media Video and Flash Video, making favorite videos easy to view.  In select markets, the integrated DVB-H receiver offers live broadcast TV with an automatically updating program guide. The massive memory can store up to 40 hours of video content. And what is believed to be the most impressive aspect is that the Nokia N96 boasts a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, flash and video light. It allows DVD-like quality video capture at 30 frames per second. Further, with the integrated A-GPS, consumers can now 'geotag' their pictures with location data and share them with their online communities.  This device is worth every cent in the hands of a person who can take advantage of its numerous features.
