Nokia N96 Review

I'm sure you've heard about it since the advertising campaigns beginning in February 2008. I'm sure you've seen pictures of it everywhere and thought, "Wow, this phone looks a lot like a mix between an N95 and a Apple iPhone even though it's not due for release until July - September 2008. IT IS the Nokia N96! I have no idea of its expected price because it is yet to be announced. To start with, it will be released in black only.

Looks sleek doesn't it? That's because it is! It's 103mm in length, 55mm in width and just 18mm thick! Sleek, slim and sexy! And to top that off, it only ways 125g. Okay, so that's a little heavier than normal but hey, all the gismos and gadgets have to go somewhere!

The Nokia N96 has a screen that is 2.8 inches! Not bad, not bad at all. It is compatible with Polyphonic, Monophonic, True Tones and MP3s when it comes to ringtones. Oh, and just so you know, vibration is, of course, a function.

Memory... ahhh, memories... well, phone memories that is. Let's see... it has unlimited phone book entry space, a maximum of 30 days of detailed call record information, it has a MicroSD card slot, 128MB RAM, 256MB storage memory and wait for it... wait for it... 16GB, yes 16GB of internal memory! Hell yeah!

Now... let's see what other kinds of cool gismos, gadgets and just plain awesome stuff this Nokia N96 has to offer!

Well, I bet you want to know what this baby has to offer, right? You wanna know what games it has, what kind of camera, what other cool technology... you just wanna know everything about it! Alright, here goes nothing!
