These rather interesting images of a Nokia "N96" have emerged recently, leading to speculation that the shiny black handset is to replace the N95 at the top of Nokia's Nseries tree.

More convincing than the funny dual sliding version of the supposed N96 that's shown up on blogs of late, this shares a similar style to the N81.

No spec has been revealed but from the pics it's clear there's a 5-megapixel camera, with proper Carl Zeiss lens components.

It's always hard to gauge whether or not these spy pics are actual company leaks, fan boy's wishful thinking or devious hoaxes, but these photos do look real, and rather convincing...
