As expected the leaked N96 has become reality. The device, which is the successor to the hugely popular N95 builds on its success and further enhances the mobile experience. It comes with a large 2.8 inch screen, 16GB on-board storage and Micro-SDHC Card Slot. A new addition will be an integrated DVB-H receiver that will allow live broadcast TV (in selected markets) that will also include an automatically updating program guide. A nice little touch is the addition of a kick-stand for propping up the handset for hands-free viewing.
Shortly after the Nokia Keynote Speech we were able to speak direct to the Product Manager for the N96. During this Q&A session we were able to ask questions and be one of the first people in the world to actually get our hands on the newly announced handsets.
Below is a video taking during the Q&A session with my fellow bloggers bombarding the Product Manager with questions about this newly announced device:

Seriously i don’t understand what nokia is thinking…

If Nokia want me to upgrade to this phone, they will have to change the battery used for N96… maybe a battery larger than BL-6F
