Nokia N96 Bruce Lee handset launches

 
Never mind the features, just check out the free doll! Yes, that's the big selling point of the Nokia N96 Bruce Lee edition. Under the skin, this is still your typical N96, which we reviewed in depth last month . But it's the outside we're interesting in. We're completely sold on the Bruce Lee doll, complete with fighting suit, Onitsuka Tiger trainers and weapons, less so on the case with Bruce's face and signature and we could pass on the Bruce Lee strap - which isn't some cunning karate move, but a way of hooking it to your person, albeit one featuring miniature nunchakus.  But overall, if this was in the local Nokia store, we would be sorely tempted. Sadly it's not - the phone set looks to be exclusive to Nokia Hong Kong for now. But we'll bet a large chunk of next month's salary that this will be all over eBay in the coming weeks, probably priced well above the official £871 sim-free price point.
