We are already in August and as you all know, the N96 is being released all over the world. Yesterday it was launched in India in big event with high media coverage. The journalists call the N96 the “iPhone killer”.

Will that be true? I really don’t know, but Nokia is taking the advantage of time, their  device reached India before iPhone 3G and will crossover India from 20th August selling 2000 Nokia N96 with a special price in a special offer, if you buy it then you will be one of the firsts buying the Nokia N96!

As you know, N96 is the first ever mobile device to offer a memory size of 16GB expandable to 32 GB through an external micro SD card (32GB! That was my old PC memory). I think I could store more than 60 hours of videos and movies with high quality (or more…).

I won’t buy one of this N96 in August, because I am not from India, but in fact I will buy when it is released in September. In many countries September is the month of release and it will also be for India.

Consumers from India will have an exclusive application, allowing them to track their handset if the device is lost or stolen, but also create a backup for the phone data via the Internet. That should make the 950mAh battery last fewer hours than it lasts already.
