I seriously think Nokia's build quality is getting cheaper and cheaper. They should follow the example of Samsung/LG and SE, great features are a must but build quality must equal the features. Look at the N95 and E90, both have premium features and superb build but the current upcoming crop seems plasticy and cheap. Come on Nokia!

This is going to be a killer phone! Hopefully it'll be cheap like the 6120 Classic! Look at that massive Xenon too! :p

Nokia N78 is nice but don't like the back it is like N81's back and don't like it. :(

Here is the thing that is HAPPENNING, niro_iyashi

From the way i see it, Nokia N96 has interchangeble keys at the top side of the slidephone. And the reason why it has 2 sets of media keys is becoz the one at the top is for use wen the phone is in horizontal mode. in vertical mode, u use the media keys around the navigationak keypad.

And for goodness sake, if u really want a 5 mgpxl cam. phone, get the 6220 instead of the N78. Yes i agree N-Series is suppose to be a High-End phone but is it against the law for a non-N-Series to have better features than the N-Series??? In case you did not know. The reason is because Nokia wants the N-Series to reach a wider range of customers. You can't expect all N-series phones to be 5 mgpxl(or better) from now on...

I think the problem lies with you. Not Nokia.

To me this is a mixed bag. Feature wise N96 is a GREAT phone, and would love to get it. HOWEVER, the phone is damn ugly, bulky, cheap ass looking, traditional nokia-low-end--candybar-Look-alike.

God dammit. Nokia please - HIRE SOME NEW BLOOD TO YOUR DESIGN DEPARTMENT, PLEASE.

SE has currently the most beatiful phones, the functionality is not there but the design surely is.

SE design + Nokia phones features = Total overpower.

Please Nokia. ACT now. Perkele.

Cool new phones but why name a new phone 6220 when they already have a phone by that name ?? Did they run out of numbers?

Nice handsets. Love the feature sets. Offering online services, as that is what the consumer wants isnt it?
This is a consumer based show. Nokia are not there to push business devices. More mass market, consumer devices. Agree?

E series will come out later in the year at a more appropriate time. It's like the saying goes, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" Watch this space!!!!!

The phones are feature-rich, no doubt; but dull.

This phone is one of the most perfectly ballanced handsets i have ever seen. This and the 6210 Navigator are suberbly ballanced phones.

Is nokia obsessed with nokia n82 design every new phone has an underlying resemblance to nokia n82 common now we now the features have been upgraded but design innovation does matter as well... was expecting some new nokia E series business handsets but it seems nokia doesn't think it needs much attention its sad
