Mistake leaks specs of upcoming Nokia N96 phone

By Ed Oswald, BetaNews

February 8, 2008, 3:01 PM

An apparent oversight on the company's German Web site has disclosed the specifications for the company's upcoming slider phone.

Pictures of the phone first leaked two months ago, but at the time, the list of features was not known. If the leaked information is to be believed, the N96 will satisfy the needs of a lot of loyal Nokia users.

Quad-band GSM and HSDPA data lead off the N96's considerable list of features, and the phone will run on the company's Series 60 3rd Edition FP2 platform. a 2.8" QVGA display is also included, capable of displaying up to 16 million colors.

16GB of onboard memory will provide twice the capacity of its N95 predecessor, and it will include all of the multimedia features of that phone. However, the camera is much improved, with 5 megapixels of resolution, autofocus, and Geotagging support, and TV-Out and DVB-H reception.

Even further, the N96 includes a built in GPS -- obviously needed for the geotagging functionality -- WiFi, and Bluetooth. Users will be able to expand the memory of the phone through microSD support.

No pricing or availability information was specified on the leaked page. So far, Nokia has not commented publicly on the reports.

For more information, including pictures, see this post on GSM Arena regarding the leak.

I wonder if the N96 will save incoming bluetooth transfers to the big memory, the N95 doesn't it saves it into the rather limited memory and you have to manually transfer it to the hard drive.

on a side note, I allways giggle when I read posts from people in the USA about mobile phones, I say this because funny how mobile phones and carries work in the USA compared to the rest of the world.

in Australia you just get whatever phone you want on whatever network you want and its technically illegal for the carrier to lock the phone onto their network. (I wonder why the iPhone is not avaliable in Australia yet.....)

Um, last time I looked Nokia was the #1 manufacturer with record profits. Furthermore, unless you're Korean a phone like this is head and shoulders above 90% of whats available. Maybe you're thinking of Motorola..?

This is a non issue phone Nokia has been going down hill for a few years now. Nokia needs to come out with something soon or Nokia will be a ex-cell phone provider. From what I have seen and read this phone is not that diffrent or that much of a stand out product to make a diffrence. I also think that the U.S. market is causing its self problems by having several competing standards. The cell companies should do like Japan and allot of the rest of the world and have one standard. Maybe when Sprint PCS dies there might be a better chance of this happing.

Not sure what Nokia you are referring to but the Finnish Nokia company is doing very well. Their latest phones are being snapped up by all and sundry, especially the N95 and the N95 8GB. Their designs may look tired compared to other phones, but when it comes to sales and features, it isn't going downhill, at all.

Well if you look at the US market compared to say 10 years ago. 10 years ago Nokia were the major player. You had many Nokia's to choose from. Some of the major carriers don't even carry more then 2 Nokia's. Sprint has 0 Nokia phones, AT&T has 6, Verizon has 0, T-Mobile has 6. Use to be if I was to check them Nokia would have 6 or more phones per a carrier. 2 out of 4 of the major carrier's don't even handle Nokia.

Number of Customers per a Carrier Q1 2007 data
T-Mobile - 65 million
AT&T - 50 million
Verizon Wireless - 44 million
Sprint PCS - 37.5 million(Nextel accounts for 15.3 million of this 37.5 million)

So 81 million potential US customers can not get Nokia phones unless they buy unlocked phones. And lets face it most US customers just walk in to their cell store and walk out with a phone.
Maybe in European countries and Asia they might have the market share but as far as the US market goes, Nokia's market share has dropped.

The American cellphone market has become a unique beast compared to the rest of the world.

It is because of this that innovative, feature rich phones are more easily had in Asia and Europe.

My regional provider (Suncom) only has one Nokia phone in it's stable at the moment. That didn't stop me from grey-marketing my Nokia N81.

Nokia make sleek and superior phones. Compared to the iPhone, N95 has tons of extra features that most of the iPhone users wish they had. The whole issue is caused by adopting to unified standards. US mobile cariers should just adopt to GSM technology. I feel sorry for those on Verizon, Sprint who need to purchase different inferior phones next to their own phone when they want to receive calls in EMEA and Oceania. But it's their choice to stick with those companies that don't adopt to the global mobile protocol. My 2 cents

I agree with you I would love to see a single standard for all cell phone companies here in the states.
Nokia does make good phones but the problem is getting them in to the consumers hands. It don't matter if you make the greatest and best and create a demand for it ala iPhone. If the consumer can't get it then your doomed to fail. The world cell phone market is finicky market. You can be on top one day and going bankrupt the next.
