The Nokia N96 is a discontinued high-end mobile phone announced by Nokia on 11 February 2008 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona as part of the Nseries line.[1][2] The N96 runs Symbian OS v9.3 (S60 3rd Edition, FP2). It is compatible with the N-Gage 2.0 gaming platform and has a DVB-H TV tuner and AV output.
Compared to the popular Nokia N95 8GB, the N96 has a doubled flash storage capacity (16 GB), dual LED flashes and a slimmer design.[3] However, critics had negative views on the N96's battery life and user-unfriendliness[4] and its downgraded CPU clock speed raised questions.[5] It was one of 2008's most anticipated mobile phones, but its launch was delayed and it was only widely available from October 2008.[6][7] It is thus considered a commercial failure.[8] Critics stated that the Nokia N85 provided more new features at a significantly lower price.[9]
