EngadgetMobile gets some Nokia N96 hands-on review at this years MWC in Barcelona. They really liked the build quality of the Nokia N96 - and they even got some TV time in via SlingPlayer Mobile.
Here’s what they said: “The Nokia N96 is here and while it certainly doesn’t blow the doors off the current N95 in all its many varieties, it does refresh the form, add beauty, and the TV ain’t all that bad to boot. What definitely stands out on the Nokia N96 is build quality, the material choices here are not as cheap as they were on its older siblings, it actually looks and feels like a high end device.”
Nokia and THQ Wireless announced an agreement to bring Team17's Worms World Party to a range of Nokia devices through the N-Gage games service.

Vincent finally made it over to the Nokia booth and has some hands on shots of all that new Nokia stuff they announced the other day. He was even keen enough to throw down his N95 next to the new N96 for a size/appearance comparison.
Nokia 3155i is reviewed by Arnold on Wed, February 13, 2008
Average rating: 8.3/10.
I bought my Nokia more than a year ago. It has served me well, better than other phones that have been in my household. It is not a $300 phone, but it works just fine.

When I look at Nokia’s newly introduced N76, I cannot help but compare it to the N73. Though Nokia does not say it, this is the logical successor of the N73. It is not merely that the N76 also has a 3.2 MP Car Zeis lens. The form factor and price range suggest that the N76 will go for the same market as the N73.
N76 is a product of the same design school as the N82. With one big difference. The slim buttons on the N82 is replaced with four parallel lines. I am not totally sure how these buttons work. In fact, the control section of the front is a mystery what with that button on the right of the directional pad and the icons on the flat surfaces that suggest touch-sensitivity. Hm. Anyway, this S60 smart phone phone, unlike, the N73, offers more than just a 3.2 MP camera, it also has A-GPS and that sought-after HSDPA connectivity. MSRP is $507.

You can now get the Nokia Maps 2.0 download. The Nokia Maps 2.0 download is available from the Nokia beta labs website, which you can get immediately.
“The biggest update to the Nokia Maps 2.0 software is a feature called Walk, which is pedestrian-focused navigation for those walking around city streets. It provides visual turn-by-turn directions and also provides information about surrounding buildings, streets and parks. With handsets that have built-in compasses, it will point you to North.”
The Nokia N78 was announced today at MWC. The new Nokia N78 will be available in Q2, 2008 for about $500, and will work on US 3G networks - AT&T and T-Mobile. The handset has a resemblance to the N82 and N73 bar-style phones.
“The Nokia N78 adopts the new design language and one version will have 850/1900 HSDPA, supporting 3G networks in North America. It has a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens. It has a morphing keypad: the number keys disappear when the Nokia N78 is in camera mode. Lastly, it has both an FM radio and FM transmitter.”
The Nokia N96 was announced today at MWC. We had heard rumors that the Nokia N96 may be released at this event, but now we can confirm it. The new handset is basically an updated N95, but has more of the look of an N81.
PhoneScoop has more: “The navigation cluster and numeric keypad are nearly identical, though the Nokia N96 has a flat front surface. The multimedia keys around the D-pad disappear when not in use, and the four function keys on the dual-slide ledge change from media to gaming. The Nokia N96 brings in DVB-H mobile TV and has a 2.8-inch screen, 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and Carl Zeiss lens. It has 16GB of standard memory, combined with the microSD slot for a total of up to 24GB.”
The Nokia N96 will be available in Europe in Q3, 2008 for about $800. Hopefully they will send a North American version of the handset to the US soon.

Nokia announced its new flagship phone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The N96 is Nokia’s latest and greatest with a 5 megapixel Car Zeiss lens that takes VGA 30fps videos. Connectivity include 3G, HSDPA and WiFi. Multimedia support includes Flash, H.264, WM9 and MPEG-4. That’s pretty good already but imagine also a DVB-H TV tuner added and a GPS tagging for photos you take with the 5 MP camera. Take a picture and the GPS works automatically to remember where you took it. Amazing? How about getting one in Q3 at less than the price of the N95 when it first came out. (more…)

Nokia Maps 2.0 adds Walk, a pedestrian-focused navigation application, by guiding users from A to B with visual turn-by-turn directions. It helps them locate themselves by giving information about the surrounding buildings, streets and parks (including pathways through the park) and in newer handsets, like the Nokia 6210 Navigator, points the direction in which they are walking; using the handset's built in compass for orientation.
The new Nokia Maps 2.0 update also adds the option to purchase multimedia guides that feature photos, videos and audio streams. As with the previous version of Nokia Maps, map users will receive a free 3-day Navigation trial, for Walk and Drive, plus an additional free 10 minute City Guide trial.
Upgrading to the GPS navigation option provides clear, turn-by-turn visual and voice guidance. For Nokia devices that doesn't have built-in GPS, users can use an external GPS module with a compatible device. Nokia Maps 2.0 will also have, for an optional fee, real-time traffic feeds with dynamic re-routing in 18 European countries. With vector maps provided ...

Nokia today debuted the 6210 Navigator, the company's first GPS-enabled mobile device with an integrated compass for pedestrian guidance. The 6210 Navigator comes with Nokia Maps 2.0 and includes full voice and visual turn by turn guidance at no extra cost.
Combined with an 'accelerometer' which measures changes in direction and orientation, the built-in compass makes it easy to follow the map when strolling about on foot. When turning the device, the map automatically maintains its orientation. The integrated Nokia Maps 2.0 application will plot the quickest route to the destination and illustrate it on the map. Thanks to high-speed 3.5G connectivity, detailed information about each point of interest, like the phone number or web address is a click away.
Car navigation is also easy with pre-installed one-touch navigation, full voice guidance and self-mount car kit of the Nokia 6210 Navigator. If users makes a wrong turn, the device will automatically calculate a new route.
