Nokia N96 Expert Reviews

With Wi-Fi, HSDPA, N-gage for gaming, integrated A-GPS and support for BBC iPlayer, the Nokia N96 is probably one of the best equipped phones around, and thanks to a pedigree Carl Zeiss lens and five-megapixel sensor it's a perfectly passable camera ...

Packed to the mobile rafters with features

More sluggish than a snail chained to the wall

The Nokia N96 is stuffed to the point of bursting with features. Unfortunately it has two major flaws: a lack of a touchscreen and a lack of speed.

The N96 is another chunky, multimedia friendly handset from Nokia. In this case the size of the phone does seem to make it a bit unwieldy, and we aren't entirely convinced about the dual slider system, ...

If you are a die-hard N95 fan this would be a good upgrade choice. But with touch screens beginning to dominate it does look a little old fashioned as a top of the range mobile phone.

A great multimedia phone with surprising business features, but it feels clunky

Greatly improved battery life but Symbian flagship upgrade still needs to do more with the browser

BBC iPlayer support ; lots of add-ons ; better battery life than N95

Keypad cramped and too smooth ; browsing experience lags behind competition

Good performer with lots of features, but not a compelling upgrade

Unlike the N95, the overpriced Nokia N96 is not revolutionary and its much touted DVB-H feature is currently useless in India.

This is a good phone, which a year ago would have been fantastic. The problem for Nokia, is the bar has been set so high by their own past devices, they now find themselves struggling to keep up momentum

The BBC recently made available for download to portable media players such as the Nokia N96, iPlayer TV and radio content.
