The Nokia N96 has similar features to the hugely popular Nokia N95, but with a much more user friendly platform.
The Nokia N96 is not designed as a replacement for the N95, instead it is aimed to bring you all the good parts from the Nokia N95 along with more multimedia capabilities like video and mobile TV.
