The flagship Nokia N95 will be coming to Rogers on May 2nd. We've discussed the possibility of Rogers picking up this handset before, and it is good to see it happen.

I'm not entirely sure how they did it - I'm suspecting a combination of devil worship and illicit favours - but Mobile-Review have managed to put a pre-production Nokia N96 through its paces months before the handset is intended to launch in Q3 this year.  In a typically comprehensive piece, Eldar Murtazin covers everything from how difficult the touch-sensitive scroll wheel is, ... continued »

How much would you pay to tell the world you love Nokia's N96?  Darla Mack spotted this eBay auction, in which either the bidders are mighty foolish or really, reallykeen on a particular email address: the seller offered "LoveMyN96@gmail.com" (handily illustrated with an image of the N96) and after 25 bids the auction ended at $660. continued »

We caught a glimpse of it last week, when Nokia Germany prematurely updated their site, but today Nokia have officially announced the N96 smartphone.  An update to the popular N95, over 7 million of which were sold, the N96 adopts the manufacturer's current high-gloss style while updating the long spec-list that prompted so much interest in its predecessor.  Quadband GSM ... continued »
