Nokia N96 available on 3 for £30/month

By on September 22, 2008 in News

Finally, the Nokia N96 is available for ordering from 3′s UK website. I’m not sure whether you can actually walk into a 3Store and pick up one of these yet. But I’m pleased to see they’re online and orderable.

Our very own James Whatley isn’t a fan because the N96 is missing a graphics chip present in the N95 8GB. Other than that, the N96 looks like a fairly decent handset. Big screen. Who’s getting one?

    Me!

    Was debating with myself to get the iPhone, Bold, E71 or N96. Looks like it’s the N96. I saw James Whatley’s Qik video but couldn’t see the difference between the two phones.

    Btw Three are doing half price mobile broadband to existing customers at the moment.

    Sell it!

  • jamesbody

    Why sell it – can you name ONE thing that you can do today in UK with a N96 that you cannot do with a N95-8GB with updated firmware?

    AND the N95-8GB has a faster video subsystem AND a bigger battery AND supports SIP VoIP – all of which the N96 does not!

    Best that you save your money – looking forward to the arrival of the N79 or the N85….

  • http://mostlythis.com mostlythis

    well – the N96 doesnt need a bigger battery
    it works with iplayer download. which seems to fail on the N95/8gig
    its a slimer (more attractive?) design.
    alot of people will just get it free on upgrade?
    it handles video better with hardware codecs.

    but its not a 'must have' upgrading to N96 form N95 8gb unless you want to.
