Nokia N96 just got Official, still no Xenon

The phone was leaked weeks ago, and just a few days ago we got a glimpse at the specs. Now, at Mobile World Congress, Nokia has made the dream a reality. The N96 did pack a few surprises under its sleeve as well, including specific gaming keys for N gage, a kick stand for watching video (and TV),and the confirmed 16GB of storage with a microSD slot. We are still a bit disappointed that the xenon flash was skipped, and not the mention the weak 950 mAh battery (didn't we go through this with the original N95?). But not everything can be perfect, however this mobile is coming dangerously close. And for those planning on ditching the N95 -the N96 isn't slated for release until Q3 (I would expect August-September) and at a hefty €550 (just under $800 for those in the states). Assuming this thing isn't delayed, you still have a solid 4-5 months to enjoy your N95. 

Hit the jump for the official specs, and Ricky also has the official data sheet at Symbian Guru....
