Nokia N96
Nokia N96 caused quite a commotion when it first debuted at the GSMA 2008 in February, but as with most Nokia, the high-end phones, it took some time for the smartphone to make their way into the United States. Thus, new products came out and stolen his thunder, including one from the family Nokia, Nokia N97. Nonetheless, N96 is an impressive all-in-one device, which deserves some recognition, especially for the huge 16GB of storage it offers. It also features Advanced multimedia capabilities and approaching replacement for your MP3-player or portable video player . N96 is the business side, too, with its productivity Suite and various wireless connections. That said, in addition to more flash memory, and some tweaks to the design, it is very much like its predecessor, Nokia N95, but does not warrant for modernization, especially at its unlocked price of $ 776. And with the announcement of the Nokia N97, we have a sense of N96 potential buyers may hold off to see what the newest N series devices can offer. Do not get us wrong, the Nokia N96 is a powerful smartphone that mix work and play well, but at the moment, N96 feels more like meditation than the potential acquisition.

Design
Nokia N96 is no different in that much of the N95 in the looks department. He keeps the same dual slider design and candy-bar shape, but the Nokia N96 updates hands, ribs and sleeker face. Meer, smartphones 4.1 inches high by 2.2 inches wide and 0.7 inch deep and weighs 4.4 ounces. This is similar in size to the HTC Touch Pro, so that while the short, it too, making it hard to fit into the pocket of trousers. For a higher purpose, we think, the phone feels the child is cheap because of the plastic edges. We are also not huge fans of plastic battery cover, since he feels quite fragile and may crack when the phone took a tumble.

Nokia N96 is similar to the format for HTC Touch Pro: a short and sturdy.

N96 features of 2.8-inch QVGA Non-touch screen, which displays 16 million colors at 240×320 pixels resolution, as well as the N95 8GB. There, the ambient light detector to adjust the backlighting depending on your environment, as well as at all, we found it was easy to read text and view images and web sites for smartphone. You can also customize the home screen with various themes, and set up lights and font size.

Below the display, you get a navigation array consisting of a talk and End keys, two soft buttons, menus, quick, clear button, and the five-way directional keypad. Nokia has added several new controls, although they are not always obvious in the first place. When the lights turned on, you will see that the surrounding switch focus on music controls–play/pause, stop the track forward or backward. There is also small multimedia menu key, which will automatically take you to your music, video, photos, games and more. Except for the latter, and navigation switch, all the controls installed flush with the surface of the phone, which gives the phone more updated and sexy look. Nevertheless, we found that they were a bit tough to press and press the menu and clear buttons crowded, jam among other controls.

Generally, alphanumeric keyboard is easy to use, but the top line and feel a bit cramped so close to the edge of the screen.

The rest of the phone buttons are the same style. You can access the alphanumeric keyboard when you touch the screen action. While flat, keys big and wide, minimizing mispresses. However, the top row is sufficiently close to the bottom of the front panel, and sometimes we get a finger against the edge. By sliding the screen in another way, you will have access to another set of keys Media Player - their functions are the same as the keys on the front panel (play, stop, etc.). The main difference is that when you access the keys in this way, targeting the screen automatically changes the landscape mode that allows for more screen real estate to enjoy video and photos. Unfortunately, like the N95, so do not automatically return to portrait mode when you close the phone instead, you must slide the screen and then back again.

Press down a screen, you can access the N96 in the media about control.

Other features include a MicroSD expansion slot on the left spine, and dual speakers, the volume rocker and camera activation / keys on the right side. The top unit switch lock, with a 3.5 mm headphone jack and power button, there is a Micro-USB port and power connector on the bottom. Finally, on the back, you’ll see the camera lens and flash, and little step that you can pull, which allows the phone on a flat surface and watch movies, slideshows, and so on.

The main headliner N96 is a huge 16GB of internal flash memory - double the capacity of 8GB Nokia N95. This gives you a surprising amount of storage on the phone. For example, you can store 40 hours of video (based on H.264 768-Kbps video at resolutions 320×240) or up to 12,000 music tracks (taking into account the 3:45 minute track and 48Kbps eAAC + audio) on the N96.
