Finally, Nokia has officially announced the much talked about N-series mobile phone, N96. To be out sometime in Q4 2008, the N96, just like all the other models in the N-Series, will feature a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss Optics, integrated Wi-Fi support and aGPS. Nokia has also tied up the N96 with its own Ovi services which would allow users to enjoy mobile content such as images and videos available online. In addition, the N96 also packs in some preinstalled N-Gage games which would pretty much tease users into partaking of Nokia’s paid N-Gage gaming service. In fact, the N96 will come with vouchers to purchase the full version of the N-Gage games such as Asphalt 3: Street Rules as well as trial version of four other popular N-Gage titles.

Other features of the N96 that we haven’t mentioned before include 3G capability, support for video download services that includes those using the Windows Media format, and a built-in “kick stand” for additional viewing pleasure as it allow users to position their N96 at an optimal viewing angle while previewing video content. These are in addition to the other features of the N96 that we already know before including a 2.3-inch screen, 16MB internal memory plus a slot for memory expansion and its support for various video formats.

Contrary to previous reports that the N96 will retail for $870, it will actually have a price of $895.
