The Nokia N96 is an evolution of the all-conquering Nokia N95, retaining its kitchen-sink approach to features while improving build quality and style. It's a tough act to follow however, and the N96 has got to be pretty special to lure dedicated N95'ers away from their beloved handset. So has Nokia succeeded? Of course they have! Luckily for us, the N96 is just as much a range-topping flagship as its predecessor. As the N96 is a slider phone, the 2.8" screen dominates the front panel. With a resolution of 240x320 and capable of displaying 16 million colors, it looks superb in the majority of situations. The N96 runs the Symbian S60 9.3 operating system with the excellent Feature Pack 2 installed, bringing with it very welcome upgrades to performance and stability, plus a wealth of visual tweaks and the very handy Active Standby screen.
Underneath the screen is the usual array of call buttons and soft keys, plus the introduction of a Navi-wheel, which works by moving your finger around the edge of the D-pad in order to move the onscreen cursor. In Nokia N96, there is another interesting feature that is browser-based video access. It supports for flash video and for streaming, downloading and progressive download. The phone comes with a powerful battery named BL-5F with 950 mAh. Its talk time can be up to 160 minutes in WCDMA and 230 minutes in GSM. The standby time can be up to 200 hours in WCDMA and 230 hours in GSM. This product has a digital music player that supports MP3, AAc, eAAC+, WMA and album art. One can edit and share the play lists. It also supports for Windows Media DRM protected files. For the FM radio lovers, It supports this feature with RDS as well as visual radio. Apart from this, this device from Nokia also has an internal radio.

N96 is in fact the first Nokia handset that ships with a car charger and it's a neat accessory we appreciate.

The storage capacity of the Nokia N96 can even be further expanded with an optional microSD card, such as the new Nokia 8GB microSDHC Card MU-43 which increases the available memory of the Nokia N96 to a total of 24 GB. For added convenience, the Nokia N96 features a 'kickstand' on the back cover that allows for hands-free viewing.
