The Apple iPhone 3G is coming to India on August 22nd. Apple's competitors like Nokia and Samsung would be waiting to see the initial reactions of Indians when the new iPhone comes to India. Before the iPhone comes to India, Nokia is making sure that they launch something that might divide the loyalties of iPhone cravers in India. In few hours from now Nokia is going to launch its much awaited N96 in India. N96 is a pure multimedia powerhouse with 6GB of in-built memory, microSD card support upto 16 GB. You can store more than 3000 songs in MP3 format on your N96 and just forget about them and keep on listening. But the design of this phone looks crap. The phone looks like a oversized hybrid of N81 and N95 8GB
