The time is almost here, the N95 is probably sweating, and counting down the days until it is replaced. Now, just because the model number is higher, what makes this device the one that the N95 hands the crown off to? Well, it is basically because it updates nearly every aspect of the N95 that we all know and love. From design, to internals, the heir to the throne has been revamped.

The device has been fitted with Nokia’s new ‘industrial’ design, very similar to the design found on the N81. The features that make this device worthy of the top dog status in the Nseries line include a 2.8 inch screen at QVGA resolution with 16 million colors,WiFi, 16GB of internal storage AND MicroSD expansion on top of that up to 8GB, 5 mega pixel camera, and S60v3 Feature Pack 2.

Top of the line status does not come cheap though, the N96 will set you back $1,185, that is if the exchange rate remains the same. The image taken from Sim Free suggests that we are going to have to wait another two months to get our hand on the device, but if you can afford this guy, maybe it is a good time to hold off on that N95.
