The camera quality isn't good..........Its excellent.

[the.kaushik]

i too like the phone but was wandering why nokia did like this... Memory 16 GB greater than n95 8gb, Battery capacity less then n95 8gb, processor speed less than n95 8gb.. am confused should i go for it..

[Ronnie11]

just wait for a month or so...it will definitely see a price correction...

[Tanmay Satpathy]

What about the build quality?

My N95 8GBs back coating wears off after 2 month usage.

The phone looks quite similar to the N81.... However the camera seems excellent (would love if it comes alongwith xenon flash like N82)

lol, what a crap

Don't just go by the figures. Both the battery and the processor are sufficiently powerful. They are definitely not worse than what the N85 8gb was capable of.

Ya thats true... same with my n95 8gb.. colors started coming out in 3 months.. Seems they dint got good paint that time for 30k ... Nokia should use Asian Paints LOL

LOL! I knew it would come with a movie on the built-in 16gb memory, but Om Shanti Om?

Just as I thought. The slower processor has hardly any noticeable difference on the performance. While at the same time conserves some power.

The N96 is capable of high speed HSDPA (3.6 MBps) and Mobile TV, but neither of these are present in the country. Only in time will we be able to maximize use of the N96 and hopefully by then its price would be much more valuable. Just like in the case of iPhone 3G.

By any chance am not taking this cute!.. I will leave my life with n95 8gb until and unless there is some throbbing mobile outside there!

It's time to listen to experts
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/..._the_Nokia.php

Battery life: one word - IMPRESSED. I took the phone off charge at 6:30 this morning, 16.5 hours later the low battery warning has just come on, during this time:
i) Approx 1 Hour playing YouTube Videos using the S60 browser through 3.5G
ii) Approx 1 Hour general Web Surfing using both Wifi and 3.5G
iii) Approx 1 hour mucking about with settings and navigating menus, etc.
iv) Setup Profimail and synced my IMAP account, 3,200 Emails, approx 400MB using Wifi, 3.5G and GPRS!
v) Downloaded the AAS Podcast, approx 20MB directly on the N96, and played the file using a stereo Bluetooth headset

Yap quite impressive.. but still comparing with my black beast... i will tell you about n95 8gb backup(firmware 20 going to be 30 today ).. morning full charged... while going to office i play n-gage for half an hr to 45 mins.. in office whole day my mobile is in sync with microsoft exchange server through wifi(sync interval is 15 mins) (in between i listen to songs also.. i use nokia BH-501) then in evening when i return back say at 7PM i do browse and play games again for an hr..
Returned home...then install software(atleast one.. you know symbian world rocks), may be followed by some ROM MOds etc..(if you know connecting through USB also battery drains..) Till now my phone stays alive and only maybe i or 2 level of signal is down.. I do more... So am really thinking or shall i wait for something new to come...

What i dont like about n-95 8gb is slow memory access when connected to usb and the body colour gets off easily at the bottom of the device and the 4 ways key(Seems nokia dont use weather coated Asian paints)

[mohitsuri50]

was talking to some insiders on the date of launch and trying to figure what more will be bundled with the beast

.. got2 know abt sum intstng remote access functions like hving access to data on n96 from anywhere even if u aren't carrying it along. you can mail, blog, access documents and one gr8 thing is get ur camera to click pics remotely..

it sonds exctng and ghostly at d same time... lets see if i can gt more info on this...

[the.kaushik]

that's nice.. i am waiting for some review on the FP2 transition...

[krazzy]

If you want more info on just FP2 then check out N78 or 6220 Classic reviews.

[r2d2]

I request anybody who buy the n96, please tell us what is the audio quality like with respect to phones like n91.

[krazzy]

Although I haven't heard it yet, from what I read so far, N96's audio quality is better than N95 8gb (particularly the bass) but not as good as that of the N91 or the N81 (in terms of loudness, etc).

[choicefreedom2000]

hey gyes, can someone post pics of n96. It seems very cool and pretty.

[subir12]

here are intnsng apps that the n96 comes with basically some of them are due to FP2 and some r pre-loaded apps

Common Composer for Messages
You can choose to insert a picture or audio into a mssge and convert it into a multimedia mssge.

















Mobiola Screen Capture

simply put, ur phone's screen on ur pc. u can use ur mobile to gv presentations in your pc wirelessly. connect via USB or Bluetooth.







not bad at all

I recently got my n96 saw few videos on it .picture quality is great to my expectation. One thing more I like its screen its auto-adjustment to the brightness levels depending on the environmental lighting. In one of my Samsung i8510 screen is not that good, colors are less natural and its also less resistant to sunlight light.

[mikael_schiffer]

I feel spending 36K for a phoen which doesnt even have a touchscreen is kinda waste!
Better options are Samsung Omnia or HTC Touch Diamond, all Rs10,000 cheaper, with Larger (Touch) screen, Windows Mobile 6.1 (more powerfull applications) and ultimate Whizzbang features.

Moreover, n96 looks so much like n81

[gdatuk]

Whats the current price?

[subir12]

it's been exactly a month since i bought n96 nd i am seriously feel that there are lot of misconceptions abt the fone ..

the battery life is amazing, its fast, it's a pleasure to browse esp in landscape mode and i have tons of n-gage titles saved in it.

if u r looking for music, gaming and storage, then this is one of the best choices ..

btw.. any one played n-gage titles on n-96? its' amazing
