  • i had this problem with my n81. but i found out that if you put the lock on when your not using it, the battery will last a couple of days.

  • you've probably figured it out by now, but you have to go to your settings and turn it on. its turned off by default

  • no its not 700 euros, its 400-500 euros, not more. i live in europe, so i know

  • how much does n96 cost in china? does any1 know in $ ??? pls answer ... ty

  • Its about 705$ but if you buy it online its 639$

  • if you buy it in europe is about 700 euro's

  • N82 ftw!

  • Such a huge, ugly, plastic, cheap looking brick of a phone! It sucks!

  • has anyone got idea where's N96 made in? Is it China or Finland?

  • they're made in China

  • in finlande

    all nokia Nseries Made in Finlande & some of Eseries

  • Iphone is for IDIOTS

  • I think it would own everything if it had the same processor as omnia...Now it lacks the power to play a 700mb movie in divx format..and thats why its so laggy..only 330 mhz.... a shame

  • sloooooooooooooooooooooooow!

  • What video format gives the best playback on the n96?

  • omfg its huge xD

  • Whats the name Nokia N96 Original Default Theme?? No black.

  • n85 is better than this...more sexy than this bulky phone

  • i have nokia n95 its really nice and usefull but i think n96 is better but onli 8gig bites more soo wat same thing

  • im gonna pick up one of these babies at christmas

  • i really really really want one!!!! i have the nokia 3555 it sucks!

  • I really only want a good phone for video capture on youtube that I can capture anywhere I go, without having to carry a second camera. I cannot find the answer anywhere... WHAT PHONE HAS THE BEST VIDEO CAPTURE FOR YOUTUBE. I just got an n96 for my birthday, and Im thinking if its just as good as the standard n95 I should sell it and save myself 600 bucks

  • SAMSUNG i8510 16GB, the best for videos couz of 120FPS and 8Mpix

  • thankyou! Ill look it up. wanna buy an n96? :)

  • no, i have one. :)

  • this phone and the n95 was in there own league to the iphone, the iphone is only good touch screen wich is very good. but thats it.

    it shouldnt be called a smartphone.

    also remem to turn theme effects on if you want cool effects from phone.

    also if you think it is a little slow or hanging abit. i suggest getitng it debranded mail me if your interested. :) al debranding does is take away the bulk the networks pack on the phone thats not needed. slows it down. :)

  • Sorry, I own both the original N95 and an iPhone 3G and I have to say, the iPhone is alot better to use. I'm not an apple fanboy, in fact I've mostly used Nokias and been happy with them.

    The original iPhone was pretty poor, but a 3G one running on the 2.1 software is incredible. The range of apps now really make the iPhone amazing. VNC clients for example are easy to use and very handy. I just wish it had N95 camera/vid camera. It's all it's really lacking.

  • i just bought one it is charging right now :D

  • u got it sim free(pay&go) or on contract?

  • im in australia and i got it prepaid so i bought it and i just add credit whenever it runs out

  • yeah am gettin 1 now i getin it on contract and i get a free xbox 360 or free ps3 or a wii.

  • n96 is better than iphone

  • hell yeah

  • Not even close. Have you used them side by side. The only thing this phone and it's predecessors have on the iPhone is that camera. I was very impressed with the camera on the Nokia N series. Functionality, GUI, attention to detail and future potential aren't even close to iPhones.

    Oh, and iPhone could do with better navigation. iPhone GPS is alot better than N-series, but I can run TomTom on an N95 which you can't on an iPhone.

  • You are right, the camera off the iphone is poor! And the N96 is a great multimedia phone!

  • @canicvla I don't think you've ever owned an iphone.

  • @canicvla

    hey buddy u got to help me i have got my n96 but i m facing one problem in it . its that in video making its voice is not present but songs are running . but the video which i make has no sound in it but shhshshshhshs sound comes out of it could u plz tell me what could be wrong in it

  • does anhyone have msn!!! msg me jane24belle

  • HAHAHAAHA mam ta nokie od 5 dni :)

  • nokia kick ass at sony ericcon

  • and then make your own cellphone..!

  • the stand at the back is usless! as you can see on the vid it was resting on the cable at the back !!!

  • innescommon, the stand didn't work because the wire was in the way, you cant stand up an iron if a banana is underneath it. Jesus, its common sense.

  • MY PHONE IS THE BEST!

  • I can't believe people argue over which is the best phone. Get a life you losers. IT'S JUST A PHONE.

  • Best fone designed for entertainment.

  • no,turkey of NEZAMAN SATILACAK ACABA TURKİYEDE

  • only thing i like is the space i have a viewty. touch screen jus makkes this looks shit good phone but touch screen is awsome

  • Touch screen is for little girls and queers

  • ok u cunt propper tring to insult me wen i jus put across my opinion why are u like that r basicley a wanka

  • I've never seen such poor use of spelling and grammar in my life. I'll rephrase the sentence: "Ok you cunt proper tryng to insult me when I just put across my opinion. Why are you like that? You are basically a wanker." Please note where I have included full stop/spelling corrections and see if mummy has time to help you with them after school. Please learn to say something mildly offensive before trying to be clever and looking like a tit, and enjoy your little girls viewty while your're at it.

  • its youtube not a english exam you idiot . and plus why did you speak to me anyway, i havent got time for you to be honest go and buy your N96 and enjoy it.

  • thats mint i wantt 1!!

  • yes, it uses the earphone jack.

  • The Nokia N96 is better. It's also better than the Apple iPhone 3G (just incase if there's a big difference)

  • Funny...Nokia def has with the N96 on hardware a more high tech phone than the iPhone (except the touch screen) -> DVB-H tuner, 5 MP camera, AD2P bluetooth etc. But the iPhone excels in the software and user friendliness, and that's what you use the most..

  • is it coming to the us?

  • the black part seems to be always dirty

  • thats awesome!

  • wow it has a fuckin kick stand on it!! that justifies the £600 price tag does it!! fukin put a kit kat behind it! i already just brought n95 now they want me to buy n96 with kickstand hahahaha ill stick with me kitkat stand ;p

  • gimme a break!

  • shut up ya fukin nooby typical yank buttin in, who asked u anything wasnt talking to u bighead

  • lol have you heard the kit kat theme song before?

  • lol ok then but let me get off ur fat mumma first,

  • I'm a huge nokia fan. I have never used any mobile besides nokia. But considering the new Iphone 3g costs only $199, don't you think it would be better going for that? Obviously the n96 supports better hardware, but is the hardware worth the $600 gap? What does this phone have that makes it worth $600 than the Iphone?

  • stop going around posting the same comment

  • shut up ya fukin nooby typical yank buttin in, who asked u anything wasnt talking to u bighead

  • i was trying to get different opinions regarding it. But thanks for the explanation in the other post.

  • depoends on wot u want m8, u want cool stylish phone with business features then go for the iphone, but u want amazing camera, and more multemedia features, then go for the n96

  • if this had a good touchscreen or at least a qwerty keyboard function, it would be heaven in a phone form

  • as what I've heard

    Nokia users complain here that Nseries always or just sometimes hangs....

    is it true?

  • yeh.. without xenon...

  • man kan mir einer antworten wann es auf den markt kommt

  • very good phone.. but no xenon:/

  • wann koomt ea auf den markt ?

  • best and sexiest phone

  • wann kommt das handy auf den markt ?

  • this is the best phone

  • Wrong

  • so you're telling me a phone already subpar to the n95 is coming out with something that it should of had in the first place? and that the n96, a new phone, is worse? please. spec-wise n96 blows the iphone 3g out of the water.

    you cant even jailbreak iphones apple is bricking them.

  • but u have to spend money again to buy that new iphone, is that reasonable? NO. just another strategy of apple, they launch a shitty phone making it look like its the best(it isnt) so, some time later they launch another one making you spend your cash again, instead of making an updater somthing, that's just stupid

  • cuando llega a la argentina este celular?=

  • Has anybody tried texting while walking on an iphone. U cannot simply sms! This phone is cool just dont like the sluggish menu system on nokias! But still would buy it.

  • wack

  • this thing is powerful but the iphone has cool features :p

  • iPhones are rubbish and not worth the money you pay for them. You can get a Nokia N95 for less that half the price and the N95 will have more than twice as many features.

  • please show me where i can get an N95 for less than half the price of an iPhone.

  • Ebay is a very usefull website.

  • idiot

  • good. I got my N95 for £199.99.

  • yeah mthtmty is right.. buy it on the internet and u will save some money =D

  • im not gettin iphone ^^. Theres phones way better then that :p

  • lol name me twice the amount of features and i phone is only 299 in usa...

  • ok, does iphone has bluetooth? NO. also: no sms details no songs as ringtones cant record video its expensive its default ringtones sucks you cant remove the battery no gps no 3g its 2mp camera sucks u cant do much with the camera if u unlock it, it gets broken it overheats do i mention its expensive? no worth its price so.. do u want me to continue?? IPHONE SUCKS get an n95 or a n81 instead
  • the n95 is really chunky though..

  • then dont buy it at stay with yor shitty iphone =D

  • it very slow..for now thw ipone still in the top list!

  • 128mb ram... its actually faster than the iphone

  • just look when the girl open the application!!takes a wire before the application start!!whit the ipone takes less time open...

  • thats true. seems to need some further firmware tweeking

  • u cant really hear shit on the iphone i have the phone

  • without a touchscreen this handy sucks

  • i jst noticed that n96 looks like a combination of n82 and n95 design

  • well, you can severely doubt it if you like my friend. its as sure as the sun will come up tomorrow that the 32GB iPhone and 64GB iPod Touch come out in June.

    Apple tries to keep tight lipped, but the beans have already been spilled. There's even pictures of the new iPhone out and the firmware's already been leaked all over the internet.

  • dave - Do you doubt them to fall?

  • another misinformed talking head. 2MP = gone. 5MP iPhone comes out in June. and 5MP is the least of its advances. and why send mms when I can send full movies ringtones and albums in email?

    2D games? iPhone has 3D games made by EA, Activision, Sega, and Nintendo.

    btw, the iPhone had GPS Triangulation since 1.13, with current-to-point directions. and W-LAN lmao! the iPhone's been on WLAN since day one. flooding WLAN servers as a matter of fact.

    do you have any clue what you're talking about?

  • lol, I believe the word you're looking for is "sarcasm" lol, not irony. And you call people retarded? now THAT'S irony.

    btw, iPhone 2.0 (out June 14th) comes with Infineon's SGOLD3H chipset, which is 5MP for camera, video call conferencing, and considerably more capabilities. The old iPhone (current one) uses SGOLD2 which was suitable for what apple intended in a device, but when you have the world expecting you to be 78 devices in one, it simply wasn't enough.

  • what is so shit about the iPhone? I've heard people say that, but never saw anyone bring anything of substance to back that.

    if you dont like it, that's cool, but to say its a bad product, that's dumb.

  • these so called "rumors" are as confirmed as you can get, and as official as any talk you hear about the N96. the problem is that fact makes you look stupid, so you dont want it to have validity.

    that's all there is to it.

    if you like the N96, no problem. I see why some people might, but for me and I feel the audience at large this phone isn't worth the money when a lower cost product does more. and, in my opinion, looks better doing it.

    as an fyi, the 32GB iphone's price point is $599 usd.

  • dude you talk way too much and say too little. you should really sharpen your communication skills because you are a really ineffective communicator.

    but you kill your point, name one phone on the planet that does everything the iPhone does. You've done nothing short but throw 7 different devices at the iPhone, so one device that can take on 7 of the "t0P ∂eVîcEs îN dA wUrlD!!!" really says something to me.

    so go ahead, name one device on the planet that does everything the iPhone does.

  • magic iphone? lol yeah, you should call it that if it helps you sleep better or makes you feel less out of touch. there's all sorts of leaks about the upcoming 3G iPhone that's less than 2 months away and apple def isn't happy about it. There's even photos of its new rear casing.

    add to that "iPhone 2.0" software has been in circulation for quite a while now.

    lol it would be nice if you knew the full facts.

    32GB 3.5G SGOLD3H $599.

    the N96 hasn't even come out and its already obsolete.

  • You really think a near 1000 USD phone is going to be free on contract? Even the cheaper blackberry isn't free on contract.

    the iPhone can do things the N96 couldn't even dream of. On top of that fact, the 32GB iPhone is 3.5G network, has more storage and more features than the N96, has a far bigger screen and has a MUCH slimmer profile. Still not convinced? the iPhone IS STILL LESS MONEY!!

    the 32 GB iPhone uses Infineon's Vo-WLAN/GSM 3.5G chipset which SHITS on anything on the market.

  • uhh.. in what way at all is this better than an iphone? is it the big plastic buttons its encrusted with, or is it the primitive touch screen technology that entices you? oh wait, that's right, it doesn't even have touch screen technology.

    and its twice the price?

  • O celular é muuuuito grande.

    =/

  • and features

  • I'm still having a hard time distinguishing the difference between the N81 and N96

    Can someone help me by telling me the difference between the N81 and N96 based on looks?

    Thanks

  • lmao. why on earth would anyone want this over an iPhone

  • Dude, if you really understand the difference between iphone and N95/N96, you will ask the question in reverse: why on earth would anyone want iphone over this?

    S60 is a much more flexible system, plus all the hardware+software features, iphone is just a piece of block with more enhanced (compare to the AVERAGE, NOT N96)features that are not at all useful in daily life. Also, N96 has its meanings - the introduction of broadcasting television in europe, you can do some research about it.

  • btw, touch screen technology is PRIMITIVE, you've got that right. If you look at the world leading mobile manufacturers, like DoCoMo, Vodafone, Au by KDDI, softBank, you'll find NO touch screen, because they are simply the hardest and most inconvenient feature that a 3.2inch screen mobile would have. 2.0megapixel camera on the iphone is next to a VGA camera, so I don't hav to comment about that. fixed battery + memory also kills you, and the bluetooth..well, guess you've heard it by now.

  • N96's broadcasting television function will be very useful compare to iphone. Under the condition that both support b/g wireless internet, N96 is a much better phone, hardware, software, user-friendliness, and future potentials.

  • But the broadcastin television IS originated in Japan, I think it's almost out for about one-two years now, and most cellphones support it. If you guys are really passionate about cellphones, you can check out softbank's 920 series, DoCoMo's 905 series, the technology, user-friendliness and fxn/network functions are much advanced than N96. For example I own a P905i, from panasonic. The screen itself is said to be better than a psp screen, you can also play psp games on it.

  • Like ridge racers and even gundam series. The screen is WVGA 3.0inch, integrated VIERRA technology from panasonic (the thing they use on their HD1080 TVs, similar to AQUOS from sharp and BRAVIA from sony), 5.1 mega pixel camera, gorgeous look, userfriendly and lots of other interesting functions such as FeLiCa, pushtalk etc. It works under GSM/3G environment. I love the 905 series, each phone from 905 has its unique features. Guys interested should check them out!!!

  • its a low end piece of equipment that you can add more shit to, is that what makes it better? you can change the battery. change it to one still not as good as the 4+ day that comes in the iphone. is that what makes it better? and lmao @ touchscreen being primitive vs plastic buttons.

    the only benefit I see is the 5mp camera. oh wait, the 32GB iPhone comes with a 5MP camera.

    if you're harping about bluetooth and TV I suggest you google for "infineon chipset iphone", sparky.

  • The SGOLD/SGOLD3H chipset is used both for applications as well as networking (GSM +HSDPA), which does serve the function of a processor but not as good as two separate chips in the N96. In terms of the hardware N96 is better than the iphone and equivalent if not better than that of the iphone2. If you understand how batteries are charged through the phone, you will know how bad it is to the machine aside from inconvience.

  • SGOLD only adds HSDPA + 3G (possibly WCDMA), but it can't cover the convenience of having a fully functioning bluetooth and broadcasting television, I don't see why you put them together in one sentence.

    About the touchscreen vs. plastic buttons, again, plastic buttons are more convenient, fast, altho, yea touch screen is "cool". Most mobile users hav recognized plastic buttons over touchscreen cuz they hav felt the inconvenience, and that makes it primitive compare to buttons.

  • Pull out your 32G iphone on the road to switch a song. OR, simply press a button on the N96 in the pocket.

    What can you do with a iphone on the road? But you can watch TV anywhere with N96.

    Adding applications is very convenient, cuz you get bored of the same old fxns of the iphone, unless you can get a unlocked iphone from chinese that allows you to install apps. in iphone as well. But even that is nowhere near an S60 platform.

  • What makes iphone a "high end product" if N96 is low end?

    but nvm about N96, I'm more into the japanese cellphones now, cuz compare to a P905, iphone IS REALLY A LOW END PIECE OF SHIT.

  • what makes the iphone a high end product?

    maybe its class leading innovations would do it. or the largest screen in the industry. or the first cellphone with countless innovations that many other phones have since ripped off. or its superior build quality, and 2 yr warranty. most manufacturers offer none.

    aside from the fact that its literally a laptop in your palm, the iPhone is a full service computer, complete with the most powerful OS on the planet, mac OS X.

    need any more reasons?

  • are you implying that you would watch TV on the road? as I said before, a cellphone with TV is utterly useless to me for many reasons. And one would have to have a serious addiction to TV to find purpose for such an innovation, in which case you're probably not "out on the road" much to begin with.

    and you can do many things with an iPhone on the road, like get turn by turn directions, find a restaurant, check stocks even post on youtube.

    your ignorance about the iPhone is mind boggling.

  • first of all I dont see how you say touchscreen is primitive, especially when not one previous manufacturer had implemented it properly, so I'll drop that rediculous argument right off the bat.

    secondly, TV on a cellphone is of absolutely zero use to me so its not a feature that'd I'd actually spend money on. especially when the feature is not even available in the US yet. that's effectively spending $300 on nothing. and for the record the iPhone streams TV shows to you via iTunes.

  • even aside from the Broadcasting TV N96 is a much better mobile than iphone for other reasons that I've listed and you have avoided. About the touchscreen I've said enough about it, I guess you should carefully read my comment again. TV on the road just means entertainment as none can do that. Innovations, again, hardware is no better than N96, possibly worse. Software, the innovations are NOWHERE NEAR a typical japanese phone, so stop using the term "world-leading" cuz it DOESN'T APPLY

  • Touch screen, again, I compared how convenient it is to hav plastic buttons than to have touch screen. About the OS X being the most powerful system: it is customized for Iphone, so obviously its not as good as the OS X for mac. The thing about mac OS is that it has a lot of functions (powerful, as you've said), but no infrastructure. With more than 95% of those fxns ripped away by apple, OS X on iphone is no better than a simple symbian - just another so-called "innovation" from apple.

  • "laptop in the palm", do you know the term "UMPC" ?I suggest you check it out - and maybe try google Sharp D4, you'll see what "laptop in the palm" is like.

    largest screen (only 3.5), but only QVGA, compare to the WVGA vierra high-def screen on my P905, its nothing. P905iTV from japan also has a 3.5 screen, but again, its WVGA. What you should know is that the screen size has almost no effect on the technology that it carries, but rather the RESOLUTION. in other words, iphone's 3.5 is shit.

  • There, I've countered about all your points on how "great" iphone is, and really how many wrongs could you pick from my comments? almost none right. That's cuz I KNOW IPHONE, the machine, the OS, and the company advertising strategies. And let's keep the discussion on phones instead of "how mind boggling the ignorance my knowledge about iphone is", because from what I see I do know more than you expected, on iphone or other phones. So why don't we learn from each other and see who's really right

  • do you like nokia n801
