IMG=1]A few months before the release of the Nokia N96 mobile phone, some people said that it was the best rival the Apple iPhone can get. And looking at the device's specifications, you can quickly understand that Nokia N96 is a remarkable phone with amazing features. First of all, there’s the 16 GB internal flash memory that allows you to store approximately 40 hours of videos or 12,000 tracks. Then, there’s the 5 megapixel camera that lets you capture high-quality photos quick and easy.
The device has a 2.8 inch QVGA LCD TFT display with up to 16 million colors that lets you enjoy photos and videos without the limitation of a mobile phone screen. Getting back to the 5 megapixel (2592 x 1644 pixels) in-built camera, it's important to note that it comes with Carl Zeiss Optics Tessar lens, auto-focus, auto-exposure and dual-LED flash. In addition, it provides some advanced mobile photography features such as a focal length of 5.2mm and a focus range of 10 cm to infinity.
As expected from a multimedia mobile phone, the N96 incorporates advanced music features that allow you to turn the device into a high-quality audio player. Beside the support for MP3, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA file formats, the Nokia mobile phone comes with a built-in FM radio that helps you listen to your favorite radio station quick and easy.
As mentioned, the Finnish company has incorporated an internal memory of no less than 16 GB which should be enough, whether you want to store pictures, videos, games or music. In addition, you have the option to expand the storage capacity with a microSD memory card in order to store even more files.
Since it packs a lot of high-end features, many of you might be interested in this device, so the price is quite precious information. So here it is: in case you want to purchase a Nokia N96, you have to pay approximately $800!
