Nokia N96 UK Launch Date: 2 Weeks

by Patrick Altoft on September 24, 2008

We posted way back in July about how the Nokia N96 was launching in the UK but it’s taken months to actually reach launch status.

Checking a few of the major UK retailers and doing some research by calling up some local stores we were able to find out that the Nokia N96 will be released within the next two weeks.

Most of the retailers don’t seem to have any information on their websites when we called up Phones4u they said they are taking pre-orders on the Nokia N96. Carphone Warehouse don’t seem to have a page up as far as we could find.
