Nokia’s N96 is well on the way to become the next N95. We have started to cover N96 sightings, and are proud to bring the latest two:

BestBuy gets N96 – charges 800$
The Boy Genius Report claims that the N96 will hit the US retail chain BestBuy for a whooping 800$. While the pricing obviously is outrageous and insane, the management is said to believe in the device as some stores will receive live demo boxen (hit link for images).

More sightings in Austria
The image below comes off the outside of a popular Vienniese electronics store called Niedermayer. The company apparently decided to brand some of its stores with a Nokia N96:
29102008291t N96 pops up at Best Buy and in Austria

The ad states that the N96 is “more than a phone” and knocks out the following specific features:

  • Video & TV
  • Internet
  • Games
  • Navigation
  • Music
  • ?Photos

P.S. As for quality: the N96 I won at the Smartphone Show is built a lot better than the one I handled in Berlin. Updates on build quality are coming soon!
