Nokia N96 to ship in August
LEADING MOBILE handset builder Nokia is expected to ship its next Nseries model N96 this coming August, at least in Europe and the UK, according to the mobile retailer Carphone Warehouse.
North America, Asia and the rest of the world will probably see the Nokia N96 arriving a bit later, as has been Nokia's wont with its pricey flagship handsets.
The N96 model will succeed the N95 at the top of Nokia's line. It is a dual-slide design with both media player and phone keypads
It will reportedly have a 2.8 inch high, 240 x 320 pixel TFT display with 16 million colour resolution and a five megapixel camera sporting Zeiss optics, auto focus, flash and 30fps VGA video recording.
The N96 will come with 16GB of built-in memory. It will also have microSD card support for up to 32GB additional memory.
Connectivity capabilities of the N96 will include quad-band GSM, dual-band HSDPA, Wi-Fi, DVB-H TV, and GPS.
The estimated retail price for the Nokia N96 will be about €550 (approximately $850, currently). Blimey. Might even compete with the Iphone.

oh, c'mon! you really can't say about any new high priced phone model that comes out that it might be an iPhone killer.
shouldn't some basic characteristics at least be there - like size, touchscreen, design? You don't need all of them but at least something. I don't like iPhone but I see no functional or other kind of resemblance between these 2 phones. 
Plus, a real iPhone killer should cater for the same market. Just having a price in the range of that market is not enough.
