Nokia N96: Rumor Mill Closed, Specs Leaked

February 10, 2008

Not too long ago, someone posted up a set of leaked N96 photos, a phone that looked practically identical to the N81, except for being wider and fatter. I called fake on that one, simply because I couldn’t believe Nokia would actually take one of its recent phone designs, add a couple features, and bam! turn it into an N96.

Nokia's N96

Nokia’s N96 looks suspiciously like the N81.


But it looks like Nokia did just that, and then leaked the specs for said phone on Nokia Germany. Well, the good news is that the N96 is bursting with features.

Quick specs are quad-band, 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash, DVB-H, 16GB internal memory (!!) + microSD card support, HSDPA 850/2100, 950 mAh battery. A very impressive showing, not counting the giant leap backwards in battery technology.

Either way, the leaked page has since been removed from Nokia.de, so I’m assuming the specs are on the money. Crazy Germans!
