Pictures of the new Nokia N96 have been doing the rounds online (yes, we’re a week late, but it is Christmas!). All sorts of rumours and speculation are abounding as a result.

First up this, if it’s actually real, looks like another stunner from the Nok. Snappy 5-megapixel snapper taped to a Carl Zeiss lens and N82-like fancy flash take care of the images whilst a monster-size screen picks up where the N95 8GB left off. The finish is from the N81 whilst the rest of the internals remain a bit of a mystery.

Nok would be fools not to have bundled the now-almost-standard 8GB of storage on board and given the deal with Navteq is all but done, we can expect GPS too. But what else? What’s the killer feature lurking beneath? Truth is we don’t know. And, it appears neither does anyone else. Despite the speculation above, Nok is keeping quite schtum about this one. We know it’s real because we were told a while back to expect a real N96 in the new year.
