In the last period there are more and more smart phones launched, but Nokia N96 remains one of the most desired ones.

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:

• it’s a Nokia, which means a good reliability
• it has a great features list.

Nokia N96 features

• it is a sophiscated dual slide camera phone. It has a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and a Tessar lens. The camera has auto focus with a range from 10 cm to infinity and auto-exposure.
• built-in GPS receiver. The Nokia N96 has a built-in GPS receiver, with support for assisted GPS (A-GPS), and free downloadable maps of over 150 countries.

The N96 is quite large at 103 x 55 x 18mm, but this is mainly due to the fact it has to house the large 2.8 inch QVGA display.

A notable improvement is the capacity of the N96. The N96 has 16GB of internal memory as well as a microSDHC slot and with card currently available up to 8GB this means you can increase capacity to 24GB.

Video playback is up to 5 hours and music playback is up to 14 hours on a single charge. The TV playback on a single charge is a bit less at 4 hours.
