The N96 is pretty similar to the Symbian 60 powered N95 we’ve all come to recognize as Nokia’s 5MP GPS finest, but with 16GB of internal memory and a 2.8-inch screen. This model also has a built in DVB-H receiver for digital TV signals in Europe and Asia, and a kickstand for desktop viewing. Also new are the backlit touchbuttons on the face, dialpad and top slider section of the phone. When playing media, they show the typical play/pause/ff/rr functions; when gaming on the N-Gage gaming platform, they show control pad buttons. Approx $800, but likely no US 3G support.
