Nokia N96 Unboxed

Nokia's new Nseries smartphone, the N96, which should be now in stores across Europe and some Asian countries, has appeared in an unboxing video. Moreover, a semi-review (more like a first impression) of the N96 has been spotted on the Web. Thus, if you want to know what you will get after buying an N96, read on.

More info-packed than the video is the N96 preview appeared over at All About Symbian, together with some live images of the smartphone. The first negative impression is that the N96 is a fingerprint magnet. Furthermore, the handset's back is “plasticky”, but the overall build quality is good.

The camera-key of N96 is apparently a bit stiff, but the 5 MP Carl Zeiss camera is said to take very good photos. The music experience on N96 seems to be another highlight of the device, while its battery, although only a 950 mAh one, is said to have decent performances.

The N96 is being sold for 550 Euros (790 USD) free of any contract – a hefty price, nevertheless, but Nseries smartphones have always been expensive, and the newest one had to keep the tradition. If it's worth it or not is only for you to decide.
