Nokia N96 review
Certainly among the most innovative cell phones and among the best suited to ride the wave of do-it-all phones is this new N96 from the Finnish company. Successor to the ever-recent N95, it is a smartphone with a "slide" opening (drawer-style) with high multimedia capability, which means practicality of use, connectivity and above all entertainment, also because it is now increasingly clear that the public seems very interested in a phone to have fun with music, videos and whatever else. It will soon be available for sale.

Ultra compact, elegant and discreet, rounded corners, soft lines and a not too cluttered keypad, a true technological little gem to show off with pride.
