Nokia N96 Specifications and Price. The N96 isn’t a drastic design from previous designs. The handset has quite a big frame but Nokia N96 comes with an altogether more stylish-looking high-gloss exterior. The slide device has also been twisted and now feels much smoother and sturdier. If you slide the screen up you’re met by the standard keypad, but when you slide it down a column of four media playback panels are exposed. The camera looks similar with the N95, but as it takes good shot. The five-megapixel sensor gets plenty of detail and the Carl Zeiss optics make sure that everything are still pin sharp. On the top of the N96 there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can plug your cans straight in without an adapter.
The N96 can download the iPlayer application from the BBC’s Web site. It works like a dream. The N96 has an excellent screen. Nokia has even put a kick-stand to the rear of the phone.
Until now, the N81 was the king of the N-Gage gaming handsets. But that’s all changed with the N96′s arrival. The N96 slides down the screen when an N-Gage game is loaded and transforms the media controls into additional gaming buttons for two-handed control. It helps game-playing greatly and makes the phone feel like a real portable games device.
