The N96 Is Officially Official

It seems today was the worst day to buy a new mobile phone, with a slew of companies releasing their new fancy pants range or devices. The one that a lot of people have been waiting for has just become official, and that is the Nokia N96. It has been pictured before, but I have the official specs and info on this full featured handset.
First off it will have a few similarities to the N95, such as A-GPS, 5MP camera and a Symbian OS. This little fella gets a 2.8-inch screen (up from 2.6-inch’s), 16GB of flash storage (take that iPhone) and a DVB-H receiver (watching TV in Europe and Asia). It also features the new N-Gage gaming platform, that will hopefully out last the last N-Gage.
The N-Gage doesn’t seem to feature 3G support, so not so good for the US and Australian market, and will cost around $US800. There is no release date know set of the device, but I hope the price tag is pure RRP.

Mobile phones have all the attributes of a games machine: a screen, memory, processing power and an input device. They also have the advantage of connectivity. So it is of little surprise, given the sheer numbers, that the most distributed and the most played game in the world today is Snake on Nokia handsets. Yet this is a false beacon because mobile phone gaming is a very tiny fraction of the size that it should and could be.
