Nokia N96 Reviews
Pocket-Lint reviews the Nokia N96 and writes;
“The N96 is an evolution and refinement of the Nokia N95 rather than a whole new model, but seeing as the original phone was very good to start with (it was voted Best Mobile Phone at the 2008 Pocket-lint Awards) this isn’t a bad thing. The larger screen, refined design and additional memory bring the phone back up to flagship level, something which over the last year the N95 had started to lose. ”

CNET Australia reviews the Nokia N96 and writes;
“Unlike the N95, there’s a 3.5mm jack on the top of the phone instead of the side, which is much more practical and means it’s less likely to get in the way when you put it in your pocket…One of our favourite features, and probably the N96’s most modest one, is the kick stand on the back of the handset that allows you to rest your phone upright on a table — useful if you’re trying to watch a full-length film and don’t fancy holding it for an hour. ”

Brighthand first thoughts reviews the Nokia N96 and writes;
“The Nokia N96 will sport a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, flash and video light. It will allow DVD-like quality video capture at 30 frames per second. With the integrated A-GPS, users will be able to ‘geotag’ their pictures with location data and share them with online communities. ”

RealGeek reviews the Nokia N96 and writes;
“One of the another enchanting feature about Nokia N96 is its built-in GPS receiver that works with the new Nokia Maps 2.0, which come preloaded on the N96. The Nokia’s updated Share Online function enables the N96 to automatically geo tag your photos and upload them to Flickr. ”

Pocket-Lint quick reviews the Nokia N96 and writes;
“In our brief play the video quality looked very good with the screen big enough to deliver a good picture. It’s not going to replace your TV or laptop, but for watching short films or music videos it will do nicely. It certainly beats Motorola’s movie-focused Z8 handset. ”
