Nd this phone is just the best!!!!

[mexicanhustla2011]

well camera wize it is

[Naoufalitos24]

it's so nice how you say cellulare magazine

[MasterOfDesasterXS]

yeah noticed it too  "dot it" i love it

[atlaschooty]

is it 16 GB built in and 8 gig flash memory...

[auto115589]

Nokia is in danger of losing a strategic edge with this phone as long as they insist on promoting the N95! They should drop the n95 and promote this one instead!

[cellularemagazineit]

depends what u need?

BlackBerry is much for email and business

the Nseries for media

[jodizzle2007]

i just bought this phone.has anyone got comments regarding the N96?

greatly appreciated.

[eenHappyRotter]

There were 146 when you placed yours wizzledizzle...

[MaxxxxxN96]

i hav this amazing computer phone....

& i m really enjoin the top class technology in my pocket.......

[NitroDuck69]

Wow - i just realised that the n96 in the vid is on a "Different Theme" i just went through mine and found that theme, and its no-longer delayed at opening Messages...wow, try it peeps.

As for battery, mines never gone dead so must be ya battery. the theme thing is spooky but great.

[NitroDuck69]

Oh AND - the stand, WILL break, dont cry, its like throwing an egg against a wall and expecting it to bounce. the stand goes splat after a few days, still clips straight back on, but after that wont support its own weight lol.

[NitroDuck69]

I've got the N96, its decent, does everythin but open bottles (would be good) but its a bit slow when opening things such as texts after u have the "1 new message" thing on the bottom. If you can put up with waiting a few seconds (sometimes like 5 seconds ish) then its amazing, shame about the delay, i'll try updating the software for it and get back 2 this vid and comment :) if yaz dont mind :)

[cellularemagazineit]

use GSM instead of UMTS

BT of or not always discoverable

low light on the the screen

Wifi off

no animated screen saver

light saving of 10 or 5 sec

[drimcotcher]

nokia 5610 and nokia 6500 slide is 3x clearer that the n96 in screen and captured images....it's so bad d to accept the truth that the camera of n96 is low quality, please believe me i got mine

[electrinccity009]

w w w . electrinccity . c o m

Best prices for unlocked Nokia N95 and N96! Credit Card Payments Accepted Also!

[AdrianPod]

it looks pretty thick,....

[Mamids]

that is the perfect phone

[gomczx11]

the weakness of n95 was the battery, so nokia made n95-8gb with a better batery. And now they launch a n96 with the same 950mah battery? hah

I bet you can't watch an entire movie with the tv built-in, and probably not even a half of it.

guess i'll keep my n95 until nokia launchs something that got a real improvement.

[marvincute11]

what is the square thing next to the battery?

[malayislam]

Bluetoot 2.0 !!!

Lol

[daviesjr1]

ha ha my comes in like 2days woop woop

[CupidBlitz]

16 million... 16000000... wasnt it 16 thousand? 16000... i thaught it was 16 thousand?

[cordsweat]

If you are refering to the colors in the screen, it's 16,000,000 (16 million). It is a 2.8 QVGA screen with resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. LCD-TFT (liquid crystal display-thin film transistor) display with up to 16 million colors.

[SkinnyCracker]

did customer service all get a go?

[HanxKyu]

man what the fuck i thought that this phone is touch screen

[KMMPlanet]

lol sweet ass phone but i have a lg dare so im happy

[r3belc]

"pre..pre..pre..predessor?"

[drexsterz]

what?? 320x240???

[gilmourProductionZ]

lmao this gu seriously does not know what he is talking about! That is joooke! Anyone cold talk like that about a phone, its all generic, listen.

Peace

[mikeli1989]

what did he say about the DVB-H.what do you need inorder for it to work? also does this phone has regular gps or is it only agps that you have to pay for?

[TheHotArabBeast]

looking at this phone makes me horny...

[Ben17635]

Bless him he dosent have a clue about that phone, or were he is ! lol

[bbhebe]

i will pass on this one...i think nokia n95 8gb is the best phone nokia ever made

[TheHotArabBeast]

not really the n73music ediotn looked better and was more comfortable but yea n95 music editon is really good but this phone is better but if u have n95 u dont need this cuz their practically the same except this one looks better

[st3even]

How is the battery life on it man? i have N95 not 8gb though, i have the first N95 and the battery life fucking sucks man, any ideas?

[hairystinknugget]

The battery on my N96 is shit.

[60NiN3]

Mine is comming tomorrow :D just ordered it from the carphonewarehouse hehe

[TheHotArabBeast]

i get a boner when i see this phone no homo

[NitroDuck69]

cannit wait, getting N96 in a few days :D

[07liberian]

How Is Your N96 ?

[ruperto1uk]

I've just bought this...it's perfect. Watching telly on the train...fab....fast wi-fi. Picture quality great. I love it.

[emouch1]

I like the iPhone. But until it has 5mpix camera that can record video in 30fps, I am staying clear. I like to use my phone to take decent pictures and record decent video, and the iPhone does not do that. I have the n95 and upgraded to n96. I looked the iPhone, but its picture and video capabilities are laughable. had the iphone had the same vid and photo configuration, I would have gone for it, as it is very easy to use, and slimmer

[KIBRISIM]

The iPhone is not all that great, the people who are writing all these bad comments obviously have iPhones and far from trying to put US off from buying the N96 they're merely trying convince THEMSELVES that they're not missing out...which ofcourse they are...I've used the iPhone and once you get over the gimmicks it's pretty shit. I didn't even hesitate to choose the N96 last week and I am fucking OVER THE MOON! iPhones ok, but the N96 is pure class. End of!

[lara4besttechnology]

I work for Miscrosoft but I use iPhone

[Newbisuport]

lol you work for MS, haha. And i own it =)

[colplay9999]

what does that guy want can anyone tell?

[lara4besttechnology]

Want to give death to Nokia

[lara4besttechnology]

As usual Nokia produced another all time crap

N96, same 10 year old design, fatest & ugliest phone

20+ mm thick(shame on Nokia),worst operating system Symbian, worst user interface,

no touch screen, dullest screen, slow as hell, dust formation under screen,

When you trasfer the photos to PC then you will see the Photo quality is worst ever,

Battery life is only 90 minutes(lowest among all phones)

and on the top it is most expensive phone - simfree

[anchew]

Ur a joker! lol i've seen this up on like 20 videos lol

[lara4besttechnology]

Mr anchew, you are really wise, if you had mentioned anything against the best phone iPhone & OSX(i mean it, all Nokia designs are made using the OS OSX Leopard) then you would have seen very hard time on this forum.

ALL NOKIA PHONES SUCKS because they are developed by Jenitors and they use crappy plastic and pig slow symbian shit.

Any how I have seen the pattern, Rich, Upper class,Middle class people use iPhone or blackberry. Remaning people are buying inferior Nokia as non technical people.

[anchew]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooow... i dont really care lol stop trying to force ur opinions onto people... if you have an iphone 'congrats' be stasfied and stop caring if other people want nokia's! people are different and theres bound to be different tastes, it doesnt make them non technical... like i said before get over it! lol ;)

[cordsweat]

Everyone is done hearing about your iBlather. iPhone this and iPhone that. Here is a quick question for you...can you send us all a MMS message? Oh wait, Steve Jobs forgot to put that in the software. I'm sure that you get push email, right? Ooops, wrong again. Custom ringtones? Darn, Guess I'm thinking of a Nokia device. Can you at least record video? Oh wait, once again, Apple forgot to put a recording feature in the iPhone, along with picture adjustment settings...

[cordsweat]

What's really funny is that iPhone fanboys can only say as a response for the lack of features of the iPhone is that, "well, I never use them anyways". I am glad that you have an iPhone. You can be part of the crowd that I, and many other tech savvy people in the world make fun of every single day. Symbian OS is the most powerful OS of a smartphone. Blackberry lacks a browser that works, 3rd party software, and a user interface that is worth even looking at.

[b4real653]

dis is gonna b the best phöne in the world ....atleast 4me lol

[shizzle746]

has it got a spring assisted slider?

[giggeorge]

i bin wating for a fone with tv for 5 years and no it is hear

[rossithekiller]

16 GB internal memmory .. nice

[imnameless07]

Plus d 16gb micro sd..cool

[lbs123]

just get the N85 it has everything that the N96 have and the n85 battery is insane. you can listen to music for 30hrs, go on net for 5hrs 43mins, video playback 7hrs, recording time 2hrs 42mins and gaming time 7hrs.

[eddie9412]

n96 has TV.

[lbs123]

some area doesnt support t.v, you can just get a slingbox for your n85 whoopee doo, n85 is $500 cheaper than n96

[19cherubim]

yeah thats the reason i will go for n85. i wanted the n96 because of dvbh but in germany the dvbh project failed.

[imnameless07]

what is a slingbox??

[vastenmielinen]

does it have the 3d accel. ?

[bigboobearboo]

yes...al the last Nseries have one, the n96 3d cell it´s really accurate!

[JuzLykToEat]

No it does not have = =

so stick with ur N95/N958GB/N82/N93 XD

[cyther39]

It lacks video accelerator...

[tissot233]

If you dont need dvbh there's absolutely no reason to go for N96. N85 is better every way exept build in memory and 2.8 screen(thought N85 got OLED screen).

[guate69]

is this phone a ouch screen phone?

[cellularemagazineit]

no is not

[YocACole]

Display resolution is funny..:D

[sickwitit1991]

Also I have a question about the Live T.V. Will it work in U.S.? plz reply 1

[19cherubim]

u mean dvbh? in wiki it says dvbh is gonna be a standard in eu countries. thats why n85 which has no dvbh feature build in will first released in us. thats what i read.

[kokojoma]

yep they all clones like made in china,

they have not released here states yet.

beware!

[EvilResistance]

hahaha i swear the guy said 60gb of memory? dont he mean 16gb

[evilshreyas]

Ya, He said 16 GB. Anyways, Thanks man. Nice review. I am now fucking the iPhone & buying the N96.

[illusion444]

much better than I-Phone

[azngujuonf1r3]

im bidding on the 8gb version of this phone on ebay right now, uhh but does anyone know if it has wifi?

[n968gb]

there is no such thing as nokia n96 8gb

[EvilResistance]

there is but its like a fake clone version that just looks like n96

[azngujuonf1r3]

lol i found out it was the CECT version (fake) so i pulled out lol

[mickett]

16 gb, not 60

[technogeek999]

man i wish i had the N96 but it looks awful but N95 8GB looks better i think?! the only difference between those two is the live TV only....rite??dun get me wrong.:D

[LegendGT]

LG is not better damm noob -.-

[marco23s]

search FOR LG'S SECRET!!! the best !!!

[gtasa310]

i want the phone so badly,

better than the IPHONE

[k3kk0]

iphone is a real shit

[Skyethur]

I really love nokia for all the features they have in it but the ONLY reason I hate nokia is over pricing it.. iphone 3g is a lot cheaper than most current nokia phones.

[mchamp3802]

its because iphone doesn't have anywhere near the amount of functions as Nokia does, plus iphone is with a contract and this Nokia N96 is unlocked, which means you can use any carrier that you'd like.

iphone users go eat your heart out.

[lara4besttechnology]

Mr mchamo3802,

You are retard & also blind.

iPhone is million years ahead than Nokia crap.

even all mobile companies Sony, Samsung, Nokia

come together, they will not be able to produced 25% of iPhone

[anchew]

the iphone is just an ipod touch with calling capabilities and a shit camera lol theres obviously goin to be people who don't want some shit touch screen phone, so get over it!!!

[RageFace9]

Where and when Will this come out in the u.s?=)

....and what network will it be released on?

[mchamp3802]

I hear it'll be realeasd sometime in late Aug or September and there is no specific carrier since it's an unlocked phone. So you can use any carrier that supports GSM.

[sickwitit1991]

I heard that the carriers for this phone are A,T&T and T-Mobile.

[02milano02]

Grazie per la consueta professionalita...costassero meno le sigarette mi abbonerei alla rivista...hihi, scherzi a parte sinceri complimenti. e la rivista la prendo sempre... best wish

[crazysquirrel3]

when does it come out

[cellularemagazineit]

prob august

but is not sure

[relmz441]

i have the 95 8gb.. of all the cool things it does, i really use the hell out of the camera. i would miss that if i had an iphone. the cam alone could make me stay with nokia. but as any nokia owner knows , the 95 8gb is so much more customizable.

[soerowidjojo]

Iphone 3g vs. N96

[tanx2u]

This phone is badass. Def gonna get it.

[metalmessiah88]

its gonna be as bad as the nokia n95 8gb was!! dont get me wrong good fetures bad phone

[sonuise]

why nokia don't separate photos and video in Gallery

[terry947]

[all333x]

[Raptole]

[moda311]

GOOD OBSERVATION

[cellularemagazineit]

[guiurso]

[cellularemagazineit]

[chelseamanuliver]

my bro has a 113 iphone,should i buy a n96 to beat him,pls reply...

[cellularemagazineit]

[t42m4n]

[cellularemagazineit]

the new symbian os

and the TV

the main one

[raphaelAKAshowtimelu]

when is it coming in the US? and how much the cost, and what's the carrier??

[TimDJ84]

This phone will be in the 800 dollar range.The carrier is ATT but as the phones cost as much as they do,there is no reduction in price for signing up on contract.

[raphaelAKAshowtimelu]

tnx doug

[JLMoto]

nice! cant wait until its out....but how much will it go for?

[Diikoow]

I have a question which is. I work as a driver . I have T-mobile phone service. if I use my GPS while on duty will I be charged as using the internet. I am really confused . I realy need to use it but I need to know if I am gonna be charged by my company. any help guys

[cellularemagazineit]

when u connect to GPS u use a little data to fix faster with satellite, u can disable this function.

You better download maps before to don't use the connection while driving

[erikarman69]

ok. thanks a lot. great video!

[erikarman69]

please can somebody answer my question:

does it include a modem for de vodafone live internet connection or only works in wi-fi¿

[pixiewave]

very good and beautifull phone!!

[kologuy]

I'm WHO???

[gilujr]

N96 doesn't show more then N95 8GB and in my suggestion it looks like N81 8GB :/ On first look only screen is bigger thats all... I prefer my N95 8 GB!

[johncoolj]

shite phone my phones are nicerlook at my utube

[pixiewave]

Whats up with the 6 shortcuts on the display, should'nt there be 7???

[iXJulioXi]

[eoa05]

[Sweetassour]

[smoothcat]

[kipwip]

[gpower88]

my n95 8gb looks much better

[YTCarlosMC]

No HSUPA?

[nokiaduck]

Very few networks support HSUPA at the moment.

[YTCarlosMC]

Ours do (.pt - 7.2/1.4Mb) :)

[W0rp3D]

so its coming around summer????

summer in what country???

what month/year will it be coming for ppl who dont know where you are and what time of year you have summer.

[saqibq]

Its expected in Augest 2008 & if you wathced the vid/read the title, the guys in Italy.

[W0rp3D]

the title only has IT on the end, in aus IT refers to the computer industry so i just assumed thats what it reffered to, but i didnt watch the vid all the way through before i posted, the only place heard mentioned though is barcelona.

[W0rp3D]

thank you for clearing it up though, will have to wait till this comes out before getting a new phone i think.

[YTCarlosMC]

it is the domain sufix for Italy ;)

[cellularemagazineit]

Nokia is trying to bring to the MKT few pices before the end of august, but there is still a lot to do on this smartphone.

[king4black]

your review was realy good. but you forgot to tell about the Dpad...its a touch sensitive pad on the front of the phone its the silver ring at the front. when you show the pictures you could have used the touch pad...its a good feature.

[kroikie]

i love this phone and i will buy one as soon as its available, as for it looking like the n81, all nseries devices will look similar so this is not ah problem for me.

[ksvensen]

I dont like this phone, the building quality looks exact the same as the N81, and that WAS not good

[KosteK94]

Must have phone...

[Raptole]

Congrats Emilio!

I am going to buy this phone as soon as it appear in my country(Bulgaria)
