The Nokia N96 offers the most personalized mobile internet experience
to date

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced the availability of the much
anticipated Nokia N96, its flagship multimedia computer in the iconic
Nokia Nseries range. It boasts live TV, 5 megapixel camera with Carl
Zeiss optics, turn-by-turn voice navigation, 16GB of internal memory
that can be increased to 24GB with an optional microSD card, superior
sound and music, N-Gage gaming and a stunning 2.8" display. First
shipments of the Nokia N96 have started and it will be available with
an estimated retail price of EUR 550 before taxes and subsidies.

"The Nokia N96 is mobile entertainment at its best, a fitting
flagship for our Nseries range. It defines convergence by blending
phone and multimedia options seamlessly with the unique Nokia Nseries
dual slider that makes discovering and sharing experiences easy.
Watch live TV and video, take high quality photos and geotag them to
specific locations or directly upload them online via the fast
internet connection - it is all about taking mobile entertainment and
communication to the next level," says Jonas Geust, Vice President,
Nokia Nseries.

Supporting live TV as it happens using DVB-H technology, the Nokia
N96 delivers advanced television viewing across a number of channels.
It is even possible to record favorite programmes to watch back
whenever suits, be it on a train, in an airport lounge or in a café
over a drink.

In many markets, the Nokia N96 comes pre-loaded with a blockbuster
movie (title varies by region). Feel part of the action as it erupts
through the vivid 2.8" display and built-in 3D stereo speakers. Sit
back, watch the plot unfold and enjoy the special effects hands-free,
practically anywhere, thanks to a cleverly designed 'kickstand' on
the back cover.

The Nokia N96 has the ability to store up to 40 hours of video
content transferred from a PC via hi-speed USB 2.0 connection or
found online with WLAN and HSDPA support. The Nokia Video Center
offers access to a variety of content ranging from movie trailers and
comedy to news from world-leading providers such as YouTube, Reuters
and Sony Pictures. The Nokia N96 supports the most common video
formats including MPEG-4, Windows Media Video and Flash Video.

Capture clear, bright, high quality video clips at 30 frames per
second as well as sharp, defined photos with the 5 megapixel camera
with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED Flash. Images can be geotagged
instantly to record the location and directly uploaded to online
communities such as Share on Ovi and Flickr.

The Nokia N96 has an enhanced navigation experience that includes
rich, easy-to-use maps with urban detail as well as satellite views.
Voice guided turn-by-turn navigation - for walking or driving - along
with the new City Guides that offer a great way to explore
undiscovered places. It is even possible to upload and share
personalized journeys, favourite places and great new finds online.

The Nokia N96 boasts an advanced music offering and can hold a music
collection that entertains even more dedicated fans. People can
create personal music playlists by downloading tracks from the Nokia
Music Store and other online sites or synchronize PC and mobile
libraries via hi-speed USB connectivity. Alternatively, the Nokia N96
offers RDS radio or a wide selection of stations via the internet.

Making the mobile experience even more personal, the Nokia Download!
application provides a broad range of tailored content - including a
selection of branded entertainment as well as personalized content -
to ensure each Nokia N96 is as unique as its owner.
