Nokia N96 - user opinions and reviews

Used this phone for about three months now and all i have to say is that it's made pretty well and fantastic when it works, which half of the time it doesn't.
The features it packs are unreal but for some reason it's slow and clunky on even the simplest tasks such as opening the messaging and playing music.
Furthermore, it's plagued with glitches and behaves erratically when using just a few features simultaneously, constantly freezing, turning off randomly. In addition to this the included software is frankly unusable.
Conclusively, from someone who isn't a phone geek, just a normal user, this phone is brilliant in theory. In practice is simply falls short in way too many ways.
Hope that helps anyone who just wanted a simple opinion. I would buy the phone again to be honest, but it's a love/hate relationship of epic proportions.

Dani, 07 Feb 2009I got to play with the N96 in a shop, Though i know its got good features..The Keypad and mate... moreyes the N95 8gb is a better phone than the N96 in many respects.

I got to play with the N96 in a shop, Though i know its got good features..The Keypad and materials used felt CHEAP! The Keypad was wobbling side to side like a Seasore and the back cover felt like one of those recycled coke can..
Basically N96 is good phone but its materials are cheap!
N95 8GB feels much better

I bought the N96 3 months ago.
My advice is not to buy this phone because it is not practical and it has alot of software problems.
It has been many times that this phone has let me down when I need it badly. Restart and flickering and freez are the most popular issues.
Also, the material of this phone is sooooooooo cheap and it is not heavy duty.
thanks

As the owner of a N96 and a big fan of Cyber Shot, I can tell this : Comparing to C905, hardware built quality is totally Chinese. On the other hand, the main advantage of N96 is it's really multipurpose usability. Look is totally cheap, but owerall it's a great trouble free multiuseable device.
