What's Hot

2.8in display, 5-megapixel camera, HSDPA capable, built-in GPS, two-way slider, 16GB internal memory with microSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack

What's Not

Sluggish user interface, plastic build, DVB-H capabilities currently useless in Australia, overpriced

The Final Word

Unlike its predecessor, the N96 isn't revolutionary but it remains a reasonable upgrade to the N95. It’s expensive and the DVB-H feature is useless in Australia, but as a multimedia device it is one of the better mobile phones on the market.
