Nokia’s saying farewell to the past glories of the N95 with the introduction of a new hero in its ranks - the N96. And guess what! We’ve all the specs right here.
The next jewel in Nokia’s crown- the N96 has a whopping 16GB internal memory, which can be easily upped to 24GB, that’s enough space for up to 15,000 tunes. Want to know more? Read on.
It also includes proper GPS talents with Nokia Maps providing fool-proof directions, guides and points of interest. Web browsing’s a cinch too thanks to a dollop of 3G and HSDPA.
Like the N95 it’s a bit of a media mogul with support for a smorgasbord of music and movie formats including MP3, AAC, WMA, MPEG-4 and WMV9.
Similarly there’s also a 5-megapixel snapper with Carl Zeiss optics and a built-in flash and 30 frames per second video recording. Jack of all trades, master of all? possibly.
