If N81, N73, N82, N95 and N93 support N-Gage, then N96 which will be more advanced will surely support it too. :)

Get Nokia N95 8GB, use it until the N96 comes out, then sell the N95, add some more money and buy the N96. :D

What else would you like to know?
Nokia doesn't know yet when will be the release date for Singapore but we'll announce you as soon as we'll find out via a news article on Techpin.
Eagerly awaiting for this.. Hope Nokia fulfills our wishes
950 mAh - Fuck... 3000 mAh -yes!!
Then it really would be a brick (at least in terms of size and weight. I guess you haven't seen the batteries used to power alarm systems (7Ah ie 7000 mAh) they are quite literally the size of a brick. now cut that in half and that is the size battery you are asking for... Yea, my N95 is hefty enough, thank you very much.
so the only thing it lacks is touchscreen ;-)
It doesn't bother me.:P
Another five months to wait for the N96. Oh the torture....... Would be nice if it came in all black tho. Touchscreen I can live without.

Yes, black is sexy...just look at it! It looks so cool!

I can assure you that Nokia N96 is not available anywhere yet.
As soon as it will be released on the market we will write about that.
Also, there are a few online stores advertising this phone model with the possibility to pre-order it, but these are not trustful sources.
We'll just have to wait a little, it's not a long time. :)
ok.uhuhu,mm.tnx a lot Sierra.uhm.i hope iits already available in the US by this month or maybe APRIL/MAY.='C.bydwei why its not yet available?
Because Nokia wants it out later. :))
uhh!wat for?bydwei,.how much it will cost?
Well around $700 at first
Is Nokia planning to incorporate touch screen functionality to future release of N96. If they do N96 touch screen edition can better compete with IPhone isnt it more exciting?
The N96 doesn't have touchscreen but as we all are expecting some N model with touch-sensitive interface Nokia will probably think about it. They have to be always in technology trends.
If you want to see how a Nokia N with touchscreen might look like go here: http://www.cameraphonesplaza.com/nokia-n98-concept ,but remember, that is just an idea and is not conceived by Nokia.
Tell us what you think about the touchscreen version. :)
the price they said of $750 what type of dollars SGD or USd or wat
n is it with or without a contract
It is without a contract or agreement, and it's the starting price, not street price.
Thanks Sierra but what currency is $750?
US Dollars
