Telecom 3

The Nokia N96 is probably the most eagerly anticipated phone release of 2008 and Telecom 3. Due to the success of the N95, every N95 owner couldn’t wait for the N96 to hit the market. The handset is still a slide form factor, slightly heavier than its predecessor and a smoother finish with more curves to its body design.

The phone is almost similar to the N95 in terms of specification, so it’s a mystery why the device took so long to be released. Significant changes would be the upgrade of the Series 60 user interface from 3.1 to 3.2, an increase of the flash memory from 8GB to 16GB, and the addition of Live TV. The Live TV feature includes an integrated antenna and a DVB-H TV tuner, the Nokia N96 has been designed to allow you to watch TV on your phone. Many home users enjoy using the BBC iPlayer on their computer systems. It’s now possible to use the BBC iPlayer on the N96 which enables you to stream BBC TV and radio content on your phone.

The upgrade in the Series 60 user interface resulted in a more stable environment of the N96’s operating system. The rest of the system is pretty much the same as the N95 8GB. Built-in GPS navigation with the Nokia Maps application, which can be updated on Nokia’s website, digital camera on the phone is still 5 mega-pixels with the addition of Carl Zeiss lens and Tessar optics, video camera for recording and video calling capability, Wi-Fi internet connection, 2.8 inch display with 16 million colours – one of the largest screens available, 3G/HSDPA connection at 3.6Mpbs. Music player which supports all the common music formats (AAC/MP3/WMA etc.), a stereo FM radio with RDS and Visual Radio support, integrated hands free speaker, speaker voice dialling. The N96 has a full range of connectivity possibilities, with support of Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, Wireless LAN, TV-Out and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The memory upgrade to 16 GB with the support for microSD memory cards.

Although there’s not a whole lot of matters to discuss about this handset that hasn’t been covered in the N95 review, the phone is still a big improvement due to its upgraded OS, making the phone much faster and more reliable to use.
