Although it hasn't been directly announced as an N-Gage phone, Nokia's official publicity photos show their new N96 model running the Star Wars N-Gage game, and also show dedicated gaming keys similar to those on the N81. Click on this news item to see the photos...

The N96's design is a combination of the N95 and the N81. It has a normal keypad for general use, and a slideout section on the other side that can be used for both multimedia controls and gaming controls.

You can find out more about the N96 from its official press release, and check out All About Symbian's hands-on N96 photo gallery for lots of pictures of the N96 in action.
