I know that at the end of October we mentioned the Nokia N96 with US 3G frequencies (850 and 1900 MHz) is available for purchase, but it was yesterday when we caught Nokia’s official release announcing the N96 has started shipping.
Let’s recap the specs:
- 2.8-inch QVGA screen
- 16GB of internal memory further expandable with microSD cards
- 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED Flash; video recording at 30 fps in VGA resolution
- TV Out
- GPS – comes with Nokia Maps and free navigation service for 90 days, though data charges may apply
- WiFi, Bluetooth
- mobile TV ready (DVB-H – not sure where you’ll be able to use it in North America)
- N-Gage, Ovi compatible
The price is 895 USD for an unlocked device without any contracts. Interested buyers should be able to pick it up at Nokia’s Flagship Stores in Chicago and New York, through Nokia’s website and at a “number of independent retailers and e-tailers.”

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
