Nokia N96 is the latest Nokia smartphone to carry the N Series name, and became available for purchase in early Septemeber 2008.
N96 is so popular for 2 reasons:

Ths N96 will be a great phone
Nokia products really rocks the marketplace, specially now they got N96 this phone series is a must have.
What else are you looking for the features are great.
Very impressive specs but I wish it had a higher res screen though since 240×320 has fast become the standard.
how do i make my phone make a normal ring tone when people ring??? when people ring me they here music not ring ring and they hang up thinking its my voise mail plzzzz help email me with ur answer smithy-o7-@hotmail.co.uk
After waiting so eagerly for UK release, I have finally got my hands on one. I don’t think its all that brilliant and it has been a bit overrated. Its just a cross between the N81 and the N95. The one thing I really like is the screen adopts and changes according to how you hold the phone. It sense when the phone is held upright or sideways. I think the N97 will be a lot better… I hope.
Impressive but i feel i am happy with my I-phone.
It has my interesting features and the look itself it so cool, comes very handy
