The much anticipated successor to the N95 was officially announced by Nokia today at Taj Mahal Hotel, Colaba. Yes, I am talking about the N96, which is expected to be available in stores from September 16.
We had a chance to get up close with the phone, and we thought we’ll give you a sneak preview of some of its most important features.
My first impression of the phone must be a pretty universal observation, which is its strong resemblance to the N81. It does look very much like the N81; but the width has been altered to accommodate a larger screen. The phone feels a bit heavy, even though it's shed some of the unnecessary flab of the N95.
The inbuilt speakers have been shifted to the bottom of the phone, and instead of the miniUSB interface (as in the N95), the N96 has microUSB, the new industry standard.
