One of the hot phones of the year, the Nokia N96, will finally arrive at the American shores in Q4 of 2008. The N96 was introduced to us in the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and will be targeted at 3G/HSDPA networks. Featuring a 2.8 inch screen, the phone will come with 16 gigs of memory in a sleek package.

Touted as an entertainment phone, it supports a range of video formats (including Windows Media) along with integration with popular video download services, allowing you to purchase, download and play TV shows and movies right on the phone. It features a convenient kick stand for handsfree viewing.

The Nokia N96 also boasts an impressive 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Wi-Fi support and A-GPS (assisted GPS) navigation. Obviously it is integrated with Ovi services as well. A 3-month navigation service for Nokia Maps 2.0 is bundled with the phone.
