Nokia N96 Released

The power house from Nokia, The Ultimate Convergence device; the N96 has been released in India today. You can go pick up your handset from dealers in exchange for Rs. 34,999. As earlier speculated, the handset being sold only through the Idea Network has been denied and the handset will be available from any dealer. There is a slight possiblity to see some VAS (Value Added Service) bundled along with the phone when sold through network providers but with no change in price.

I’ve had the chance to use the N96 handset for about an hour and I didn’t see much to amaze me. As far as I see it, the N95 8GB is the biggest competitor to the N96. And frankly speaking over the N95 the N96 is not much of an upgrade. It could be a buy just for those few select people. For more on a first hand experience of the N96 click here. The article shows throws light on the powerfulness and the functionality of the N96 and how its not much to overcome.
