March 14, 2008 at 1:33 pm
The wonderful Carphone warehouse state “august” - I hope so! Must get one of these!
March 23, 2008 at 8:37 pm
my contract ended in february, but im sticking with my old phone till this bad boy comes out. I cant wait. bet it will be expensive though.
May 5, 2008 at 4:10 pm
There is no deffinate price yet but it has been rumored at $799.99 or £405 but this sounds to expensive so my guess is nearer £300 or $600. The latter is only estimates however.
May 8, 2008 at 5:39 am
I am desperately awaiting for N96 as i think this cell phone has got everything though its a bit expensive. The demand for N96 is surely going to be very high as soon as it is released in the market for sale by Nokia:))
May 11, 2008 at 9:34 pm
iI work in carphonewarehouse and i heard the boss saying that it is 100% coming out in august!
I AM TELLING U THE 110% TRUTH! LOOK 4WARD 2BUYING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 24, 2008 at 8:47 am

June 1, 2008 at 12:23 pm
how much did you get it for and where????!!!
June 1, 2008 at 11:59 pm
it was probably one made from china with 2gb of memory, no wifi, no 5mp camera…etc…..
June 3, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Is it going to have a prefered network. You know like the n95 8gb was out on vodafone first then about 3 months later it was avaliable on all networks.
June 12, 2008 at 1:48 pm
You can probably risk it in ebay… they are all selling them there too

When will the N96 release i wanna purchase it hurry!
July 27, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Latest update i have had from a few places, carphone warehouse and phones 4 u (not the best places to ask i know) they have said there has been a set back in the release and it could be as late as November now, dont know if this is true or not. But this happens with most anticipated phones nokia seems to release.
July 27, 2008 at 5:16 pm
N96 has a scheduled UK release date of September 30th 2008.
July 30, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I spoke to a rep from 02 they recon it’s gonna be october release
July 30, 2008 at 1:30 pm
on another note also from other web sites is the battery life is supposed to be poo,( i dare say that could be cos using the appz on the phone drains battery) dunno why nokia dont install better battery and add a few quid too the price.

Yaseen, so you are telling everyonehere that these are real Nokia N96 phones with the correct spec of 5mp camera, GPS and everything. I think you may be telling porkies. Chinese rip offs mate!!!
August 13, 2008 at 2:15 pm
So does anyone know of an actual proposed release date (not just q3)? I really want to get my hands on it (genuine one) and my contact is up so I’m just holding out. I heard a while back that it was going to be the start of august (yeah, clearly!) and I’m really getting impatient now! I wouldn’t trust anyone claiming to sell genuine model they’re ALL fakes! There’s a load all over eBay and (now) forums. Yaseen, no offence, but how the hell could you think that the phones you’re trying to scam us with are the genuine when they haven’t been released anywhere in the world? Are you so exclusive that even nokia don’t know they’ve released the phone to you?! We aren’t stupid.
