I TRIED TO WARN YOU ALL… THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE BOUGHT AN i-PHONE.
Nokia unveils the N96
The eagerly-awaited successor to the the popular N95 was at last unveiled in Barcelona this morning. Details of the N96 – the latest addition to Nokia’s smartphone range – were leaked before the weekend, and they weren’t far wrong.
The N96 also offers a DVB-H TV tuner for live TV broadcasting in select markets and it supports most common video formats including MPEG 4, Windows Media Video and Flash Video. And the handset features a “kickstand” on the back that allows the device to stand alone for hands-free viewing.
It also features media keys, a 3.5mm headphone connector and built-in 3D stereo speakers plus the Nokia Maps application with Assisted GPS, a five-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, flash and video light and video capture. It has Wi-Fi and HSDPA connectivity.
The N96 is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2008 with an estimated pre-tax sales price of approximately €550.

That’s one sharp and fancy looking device. In a few years, the I Phone will be like the Apple II, obsolete; but a pathfinder!
here’s the scary part… if they’d started it out at 30 Gigs and stopped locking people into a contract with AT&T, which in NY is the worst, i’d be singing their praises.
But can you imagine it,a Carl Zeis lens, Xenon flash, expandible memory, WiFi and GPS… I don’t wanna pay 1k for it but damn, damn, DAYYUMM!
oh my fucking god buy me that!
