The N96—unsurprisingly billed as an upgrade from the N95—is set to feature quad-band GSM and dual-band HSDPA on the data transfer side, which is sure to make iPhone owners green with envy. The handset will apparently run on the Symbian S60 and has a 2.8” screen with the usual 16.7 million colour pallet.

The phone also comes with a built-in GPS module, DVB-H reception for watching your favourite soaps on the go, and even a TV-out port – although this only supports standard definition resolutions.

Storage space has been doubled in this version to 16GB—which can be further upgraded via microSD cards—and the camera has been improved to make full use of the additional storage, now running to five megapixels with full autofocus and a dual-LED flash. Interestingly, the company has added in Geotagging support, whereby the phone can use the camera and GPS in concert to add location information to photographs.

Finally, Bluetooth 2.0 and 802.11b/g WiFi round off the connectivity: quite how Nokia has crammed all this into a phone and made it hand-held I’m not sure, but I do know that I want one.

GSM Arena has some leaked photos of the design of the unit for those who are more image-concious. And I still want it

Furthrmore, the phone includes Live tv, and it only weighs a stagering of 125 g for such a model. Also this facinating piece of technology is equiped with a 5-megapixel camera just like its younger brother N95
