  • Packed to the mobile rafters with features.
  • More sluggish than a snail chained to the wall.
  • The Nokia N96 is stuffed to the point of bursting with features. Unfortunately it has two major flaws: a lack of a touchscreen and a lack of speed.With Wi-Fi, HSDPA, N-gage for gaming, integrated A-GPS and support for BBC iPlayer, the Nokia N96 is prob...

  • Abstract:  If you are a die-hard N95 fan this would be a good upgrade choice. But with touch screens beginning to dominate it does look a little old fashioned as a top of the range mobile phone. Nokia - N96 price Buy Nokia N96 securely online at a bargain price ...

  • Abstract:  The N96 differs from many recent smartphones in having neither a touch screen nor a keyboard. In fact, its not much different in design from its predecessor, the N95. Our main gripe with the N95 was poor battery life. Thankfully, the N96 is far sup...

  • This phone can be slow during multi-app activity, and its battery life isn’t that impressive. But the N96 is undoubtedly a multimedia powerhouse with an exceptional spread of high-end functionality. While there are enhancements to the specifications...
