Nokia N96 UnOfficial Blog. N96 review, N96 Pictures, N96 Price, All you need to know about Nokia N96

The Nokia N96 ships with a 950mAh battery, which is fine for the everyday user, but if you are a power user the Nokia N96 could do with a little be more punch such as with a 1200mAh battery, which if you check out the video fits quite well in the N96.

When asked, Nokia gave a lame reason that 1200 mAh battery doesn’t fit the Nokia n96 design and it would make it look fatty.

however this youtube video reveals the other side of the story and shows you how exactly you can replace your Nokia n96 950mAh battery with 1200 mAh battery for excellent performance.

I have heard stories from people claiming that the latest firware upgrade is hacking into their N96 applications and simply wiping them out from Nokia N96 phone completely leaving no trace.

Installing the latest firmware will apparently leave all your apps, contants, calendar settings and the like intact - just update and go.

I did some test the other day with their latest firmware Update v 11.101 

It seems all my old and new applications are intact without any issues. I played with Fring, Truphone my favorite VOIP apps and made a few calls out. All seems to be working without any issues.

Go ahead get yourself upgraded with the latest firmware (Please note all firmware upgrades are not compatible with Nokia n96 models, Please check if an update is available to your handset. N96 sold in different countries comes with different updates)

Nokia N96 continues to add on and spice up their phone. This time around they came out with a special edition of Bruce Lee- The best on screen martial arts actor. N96 is packed with super-cool Bruce Lee doll (complete with Onitsuka Tiger trainers), a phone featuring Bruce’s face and signature on the case, a set of rare photos and accessories including a Bruce Lee strap and decorative nunchakus.

So far it’s only been released on Hong Kong, via the local Nokia website. If you don’t fancy risking that, I suspect eBay will be full of them in a matter of weeks. It’s priced at the equivalent of a whopping £871.

The design is about the same as on the regular model, measuring 103×55x18mm, and weighing 125g, the only difference being that, now, the back panel features an imprint of Bruce Lee and, of course, his signature.

You can buy or bid for N96 on Ebay
