In the beginning of February Apple released iPhone 16 GB, this action stimulates Nokia to compete by launching N96 in the mid of February. By the new handheld, Nokia seems trying to emulate iPhone by giving N96 a 16 GB internal memory.
N96 is exactly the next generation of N95 but not significantly improved. The differences between them are only on the memory and design. The new one has bigger memory and more rounded edge than N95.
Comparing to iPhone, N96 has more advanced features. Built in GPS and 5 MP camera are things that iPhone doesn’t have, for iPhone has only 3,2 MP camera, Nokia already uses HSDPA while iPhone still uses EDGE for the data transfer but both has Wi-Fi. For the display, iPhone’s is wider, 3, 5 inches touchscreen, while Nokia’s is 2, 8 inches not touchscreen. With those features N96 is priced US$ 800, more expensive than iPhone which is US$ 500.
