Simon Ainslie, managing director of Nokia UK, said: "The quick-fire and exciting programming that forms Capsule N96 really reflects the dynamic nature of the Nokia N96 and its users.

"Watching great content is no longer inherently linked to your living room. Great devices like Nokia N96 allow you to decide what content and when, so the opportunities are endless on where to watch new shows and old favourites alike."
