Anssi Vanjoki, senior executive vice president of Nokia Markets has confirmed via Reuters that Nokia are still on track to ship the N96 in the third quarter of 2008.

So that could be any day now, or a further 3 month wait.

“The N96 that we have introduced … we believe this will be a significant product to the group who define the tone where the market is going,” Vanjoki said. “Preorders for it are encouraging.”

The latest reports from Nokia on the sale of the current N-Series King, the N95, indicated Nokia had sold 6 million N95 handsets and no doubt they have high hopes for the N96; the launch price of $870 / €550 is much higher than the recently revised iPhone
