Nokia N96 expected for UK in August 2008
According to UK retailer The Carphone Warehouse, Nokia's N96 - which it announced at the Mobile World Congress back in February - is expected to launch in the UK in August 2008. That would fall comfortably in the Q3 timeframe Nokia originally estimated. The N96 will replace the N95 8GB, bringing the styling up to date with Nokia's current range as well as adding DVB-H mobile TV, a dual-LED flash and clever kick-stand to prop up the handset while watching TV and video.
"The Nokia N96 mobile phone takes the impressive N95 and makes it even smarter. It has the same clever two-way sliding mechanism as its predecessor, giving you the choice of a conventional keypad or music controls, but there are quite a few changes inside. The 5 megapixel camera is now linked with the built-in GPS mapping, letting you 'geotag' your pictures with location data. You're able to capture video clips in DVD-like quality at 30 frames per second - and there's compatibility with a wide range of video playback formats including MPEG-4, Windows Media Video and Flash Video. The Nokia N96 even has a stand on the back for handsfree viewing. Music is also well catered for, with a massive 16GB of expandable storage, 3D stereo speakers and a standard 3.5mm headphone socket. With WiFi and 3G HSDPA connectivity rounding off the package, this is a true multimedia computer" The Carphone Warehouse
