A few weeks ago, a friend told me about his latest Nokia N96i mobile phone. I strongly believed at first he’s just joking. Indeed what I saw is Nokia N96i. It has a sleek shape and a silver dull look. It doesn’t look as durable as N95, but the phone is full of exciting features. It’s a very light phone and maybe weights around 115 gms.

Some of the things that are present in the mobile phone are worth noting. Nokia N96i has a 3.5 inch TFT 262,000 Colors display touch screen which aids in viewing images and video clips. It comes with a 5.5 megapixel camera, bluetooth and Wi-Fi fuctionalities. Of course as a multi-media phone it has a player which supports MP4 & MP3 files.

My friend boasted that he spent around 100$ for the phone. I am just curious from where did he get such great mobile phone deals. I was wondering then if it’s really a genuine Nokia N series phone. After an inquiry from a Nokia dealer, I found out that such a phone doesn’t exist. To put it simply, the mobile phone is a fake and was manufactured somewhere else other than Nokia. That explains the cheap price tag on the phone, but I still have some doubts whether it will be worth spending on a phone as such without any assurance of its durability. It’s better to get the original ones and save yourself some headaches in the future.
