Slimmer than 3mm (21 vss 18mm)
Dvb-h Broadcast television
16gb of memory

Only idea they had is to put everything in one device and tag it pricey. Very innovative.. Talking about N series from the first N95.

Think it'll be interesting to see how well the DVB-H works. Wonder how strong the signal needs to be for it to get reception.
Cracked the screen of my p910 really need the p990 soon!!

DVB-H stands for Digital Video Broadcasting - Handheld

this works in a similar way to your regular freeview setup. (ie. free)

the one that i'm looking forward to seeing is DVB-SH which stands for Satellite Handheld...

EDIT: heres some valuable information....

Could Symbian handle all that memory?! I know when the 8gb N95 gets near full its a DOG! Imagine 16gb nearly full and juggling a Micro SD too? On paper its a definate monster but will it perform? I know Orange is gettin it and I will be runnin it through its paces before I start sellin it

Just in case any of you missed it. Just a few minutes ago a scammer posted the following in a topic here on Esato.


Nokia N96 features a 6 megapixel camera. The device has a 3.2 inch, 16 M colours TFT display. It has 10 GB of internal memory. The device weighs 115 gm and measures 102.5 x 56 x 17.6 mm. The handset has support for touchscreen and joystick navigation. Its integrated GPS displays maps of more than 100 countries. The device also has support for EDGE, Bluetooth and HSDPA connectivity.

The Nokia N96 slider phone has a unique design. It has two keypads that open up on opposite sides of the handset. The device can be slide opened either in upward or downward direction. One can gain access to its QWERTY keyboard by slide opening the handset in upward direction. When one moves its display downwards, it reveals another keypad that features a set of multimedia controls. One can also gain access to its navigation and shortcut keys even when the device lies in its slide closed position.


Does he honestly believe members of a mobile phone forum won't know the N96 specs?! Anyway I found it hilarious.

i've been told using the DVB-h tuner you can record your favorite show's, while phone is in standby, and view 'm later with the video-out cable
