Default Need to know about N96

Come to think of it, if one looks at an informed buyer making a rationale choice then the decision will never be just driven by whether I get a touch screen or a different looking phone or extra couple of pixels.

I guess, it’s about how feature rich the phone is, the performance, storage, whether it serves my purpose, price vs. features and to some extent the looks.

The n96 has always been compared with iphone – god knows for what and some of the other similar phones available in this range.

Considering that most of these options are at par with the major difference being form factor, I don’t seem to understand the logic behind “getting into n96 design bashing” all the time without any logical argument on features etc.

Can anyone run down the complete list of features if any one really knows for N96? (Please do not copy paste from specifications available on the net)

The attempt is not to misguide consumers.

Do I hear something?

P.S. Looking for a healthy debate

Well some of the important features of N96 that I know of are:
2.8" 16M colour QVGA display
5mp camera with auto-focus, Carl Zeiss optics, twin LED flash and VGA resolution video recording at 30fps
Dedicated music keys and 3.5mm headphone jack
DVB-H
16gb built-in memory + microSD slot for further 32gb
Stereo loudspeakers
N-Gage gaming
Integrated kickstand for placing the phone at a comfortable angle to watch videos
Dedicated audio chip

Rest everything is similar to N95 8gb.

Well, I'll say that Innov8 has killed N96 in the camera megapixel and also in other camera features department.

It also got face detection, smile detection, and even blink detection to prevent photos of people blinking....

Single Flash may be a down point but lets see....a single stronger LED flash called Photoflash of SE is stronger than normal LED flashs....may be Innov8 got a stronger LED flash than the both N96 flashes......Well, we'll see.

Plus, people were arguing against C905 that it isn't a smartfone. Well, if someone requires an 8mp camera smartphone, he or she may go for Innov8.

Plus, Innov8 also got 3D hardware accelerator which AFAIK, N96 is lacking. (Do correct me on this)

And yeah, SE are also coming up with an 8mp Symbian UIQ smartphone, which will have a Xenon flash...It is going to kill Innov8.......

TV broadcast is a good feature but I feel that it is going to drain a hell lot of battery, but still it can't be neglected.

So does the N96 beat the highly anticipated and over-hyped iPhone 3G?

LOL.N96 ke discussion mein Innov8 kaha se aa gaya bhai??
The biggest drawback of the N96 is its battery.A huge device by all fronts and such a crap battery to support its power requirements.You would have to charge it twice daily atleast.this is the main reason why the original N95 as criticized for.

Then, the design is an exact copy of the N81 with a dual slider.Now we all know the N81 has pathetic build problems.So, N96 does not come from clear ground.

Then, not much of an improvement from the n95. DVB is a growing technology and has no major applications in the present market.Most channels are not telecast on air except the national channels, quality of which is still under speculation.

As design goes.Those who liked the N81 would like it.Me for one, feels that it totally sucks. A fingerprint magnet and cheap looks.

Comparing to the innov8, the n96 loses on all fronts. Yea krate, the innov8 has dual led too.

Innov8 also got faster 7.2mbps HSDPA which is going to benefit it in other countries.

N00b your W810I , K550i got dual led

even SE XENON FLASH ( K850I ) when compared to NOKIA XENON FLASH ( N82 ) is low in light

and have you ever used samsung flash ?? no i guess they are so low in light

N96 dual led will beat it hands down !@!

How many reviews of the N96 has surfaced mate??

K850 did not have face detection.C902 had and its selling pretyy well.In fact, it has been awarded the best cell phone by Digital Photographer when compared to the N82.Its the best cam phone available.C905 uses a bigger and better sensor.If not for the c905, it would have it my hands now.

Yeah, at the end of the day SE rules....

Atleast Innov8 will be a solution for those poeple who want a Smartphone and an 8mp camera instead of N96.....until Hecaro is launched.......

Haha...It will be priced around the price of N96...Not much higher nor much lower....
