    Out of the box, I found the Nokia N96 often trying to make use of GPRS for connectivity, which was unnerving for me seeing that I don’t have an unlimited data plan. Exploring the options and manually setting the default connections to “Wi-Fi” took a little time, but was time well spent. With Wi-Fi selected, connection speeds are top notch. The pre-installed IM application doesn’t work in Singapore, due to network provider unavailability, but applications like “fring” (available from “Downloads” in the main menu) are free, effortless to install, and work seamlessly with the Nokia N96, allowing one to connect to MSN Messenger, Skype, etc. VoIP calls via Skype when WLAN is available makes for some nice savings. An option to set Wi-Fi as the across-the-board default connection setting would be nice.

    I got to test out its connectivity features such as quad-band GSM, dual-band WCDMA, HSPDA and Wi-Fi, plus Bluetooth 2.0, USB , and UPnP, for connecting to other UPnP equipped home media devices, such as TVs and Hi-Fi. I was kept busy the entire trial period, plugging and connecting the gadgets.

    I am able to be constantly connected to the internet even when on the move, be it browsing the net at WiFi hotspots or using 3.5G. Web browsing on the Nokia N96 is decent, but I wish it was a touch screen phone so the whole browsing experience would be much better.
