Nokia N96 US Review
Score: 43.2 / 100Nokia N96 US is a low-end device launched in August 2008, equipped with a compact 2.8-inches screen and a 5 megapixels back-facing camera.
Apparently Nokia forgot about optimizing the weight, putting together a 4.4 ounces phone. This device isn't a compact phone, considering it is 4.05 inches long and 2.16" wide,but it just holds a 2.8" screen. This device is a little thick for current standards, with a thickness of 0.7".
A nice point of this cellphone is the 16 GB quite big internal memory and an external SD slot, enough to install hundreds of applications and games without any problem.
This phone is equipped with only a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera. Its back facing camera has a 2.8 aperture so it is quite hard to take nice photos in low-light conditions. It is also able to shoot videos in VGA 640x480 at 30 fps. The camera also includes flash and auto-focus.
Nokia designed the Nokia N96 US with a nice 2.8" display, and a 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution, giving this phone a nice graphical experience.
The Nokia N96 US uses a poor capacity 950 mAh Li-Ion removable battery, which is quite poor for a consuming cellphone like this. According to Nokia, this phone has an aproximate 230 hours stand by time and a 3.8 hours talk time.
This cellphone has wi-fi capability (but it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and the fastest 3G internet connection, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM services.
This cellphone also comes with a handful of cool characteristics like Bluetooth (2.0, EDR) and GPS Localization, and Accelerometer.
The Nokia N96 US is very overvalued considering it is sold for $ 155, and some similar cellphones are a lot cheaper than that.
