Nokia N96 after the Successs of N95

Connectivity

As the N95, the N96 has a built-in GPS receiver and comes with the Nokia Maps application. Nokia are touting the assisted GPS feature as one of the major pluses of the N96 handset.

It still features the Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map, and also has an RSS reader for catching up with website content feeds.

The other range of connectivity, including Wi-Fi and USB 2, remain pretty much the same on both models.

Storage

The N96 comes with a very decent 16GB of storage memory plus a hot swappable microSD memory card slot, compared to the N95’s 4GB memory card slot, so plenty more room for multimedia.

Worth it?

Simply comparing specifications on virtual paper surely won’t do Nokia’s N96 justice. The handset certainly looks the business, and there are some obvious improvements hiding amongst the acronyms and numbers.

Nokia N96 Internet, Video & TV
“In 2007, the Nokia N95 became an icon of convergence of Internet and mobility. With over 7 million units sold to date, the Nokia N95 has changed the way people use their mobile device. The Nokia N96 we introduced builds on the success of the Nokia N95, further enhancing the experience,” says Jonas Geust, who oversees Nokia’s Explore category. “Through the power of the Internet, video and TV are becoming even more prevalent in people’s lives. With its large, bright screen, and a range of high-speed connectivity options and the enhanced Nokia Video Center, the new Nokia N96 is a personal window to entertainment.”
