Combining a large 2.8 inch screen, 16 gigabytes of internal memory and
compatibility with a wide range of video formats, the Nokia N96 is a
sleek, smart and powerful device that delivers an outstanding
entertainment experience.
August 26, 2008 - White Plains, NY, USA - Nokia today announced that
the highly anticipated Nokia N96, unveiled earlier this year at Mobile
World Congress in Barcelona, will be made available for high-speed 3G
HSDPA networks widely used in the Americas during the fourth quarter of
2008. Combining a large 2.8 inch screen, 16 gigabytes of internal
memory and compatibility with a wide range of video formats, the Nokia
N96 is a sleek, smart and powerful device that delivers an outstanding
entertainment experience.
Support for popular video download services, including those using
Windows Media format, means that Nokia N96 owners can easily explore,
purchase and download their favorite movies, television shows and other
video content on their PCs and sideload them to their devices to watch
at their convenience. The internal 16 gigabytes of memory, and
expandable memory card slot, allows up to 40 hours of video content* to
be stored on the Nokia N96. Additionally, the built in "kick stand"
allows the Nokia N96 to be supported handsfree at an optimal viewing
angle to ensure enjoyment of their favorite video content.
"Since the first Nokia Nseries device came to market in 2005, this
range of devices has consistently represented cutting-edge technology
combined with an unparalleled user experience. The Nokia N96 builds
upon this tradition to bring mobility to today's most valuable Internet
services," said Bill Plummer, Vice President of Go-to-Market for Nokia
Americas. "With support for movies, music, games, navigation and more
right out of the box, the real power of the Nokia N96 is that it
provides an open application environment for users to define their own
mobile lifestyle."
While optimized for entertainment, the Nokia N96 offers all of the
innovative features that make the Nokia Nseries line of devices the
most advanced on the market. Some of these cutting edge features
include a five megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, integrated
Wi-Fi support and assisted-GPS navigation. Through the integration of
Ovi services, the Nokia N96 becomes an even more powerful device.
Consumers can enjoy one-click uploading of images, videos and other
content using the Share on Ovi service, easy navigation across town and
country with Nokia Maps 2.0 or a spur of the moment N-Gage games
tournament with friends around the world using the preinstalled N-Gage
application.
Included with the Nokia N96 are three months of navigation service for
Nokia Maps 2.0, which enables the Nokia N96 to deliver detailed
turn-by-turn diections for both automotive and pedestrian navigation. A
voucher to purchase a full version of the exciting N-Gage racing title
Asphalt 3: Street RulesTM is also included with the Nokia N96. Along
with the Asphalt 3: Street RulesTM voucher, trial versions of four
other popular N-Gage titles are already on the device, making it easy
for owners to try some of the latest games before deciding to buy the
full version. Other N-Gage games, including the newly released Dirk
Dagger, are easily downloaded to the device.
The Nokia N96 with Americas 3G support is expected to be available
during the fourth quarter of 2008 for an estimated price of USD 895.
