Nokia's N96: The Feature List Goes On and On

The successor to the popular N95, Nokia's top-of-the-line N96 proves you can have it all (except touch technology, something Nokia says its working on)--if you're willing to pay for it. The N95 boasts a big (2.8-inch) screen and the connectivity (HSDPA, Wi-Fi, USB 2.0) to encourage MPEG4, Windows Media, or Flash video playback; in areas where DVB-H (technology for live broadcast TV for handhelds) service is available (mostly Europe), the Symbian S60-based N96 can handle that too. This slider phone also has a built-in aGPS receiver (but turn-by-turn directions are an extra-cost option); a five-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics; 16GB of internal flash memory (expandable to 24MB via a MicroSD card slot . . . the list goes on. The N96 is slated to appear in the third quarter for an estimated price (before taxes or carrier subsidies) of 550 euros which, at the time I write this, comes to about $800.
