For a short, fat, wide N96.

Nokia N96 103 x 55 x 18 mm
As you can see the Samsung is 3.5mm longer.
The Nokia is 1.1mm Wider and 0.8 mm thicker.
The Nokia would be harder to fit in a pocket.

Its funny how sammy fanboys...compare a 3year old Fone 2 a new 1....lol....didnt u knw that the N96 is 3 years old....its CPU...is from thom the N93i and so is the circuit board......
Nokia just improved it so that they could make up 4 the revenew lost when the N93i didnt sell and they had invested in its chipsets....
Thats y the N96 isnt a worthy opponent 4 gthe i8510....
so pleas dude get a life....And im not a Nokia typical fan boy....im a fan of nokia but i do apreciate gud products from other manufactures....

The Truth, 14 Nov 2008This phone has been the most unfairly criticize phone in the web. Unfairly critisize in a way ... moreOh yeah, I forgot the optical trackpad on the Samsung Innov8 which does the job a naviwheel would have done on the N96

The Truth, 14 Nov 2008This phone has been the most unfairly criticize phone in the web. Unfairly critisize in a way ... more1. Battery Life - fanboys from other company criticize this because it only carries 950 mAh, what they didnt know about was that this battery can stand all the power needs on the phone in a day or two becasue of the hardware used that minimize battery consumption.
Samsung Innov8 1200 mAh, uses it on more powerful processor, dedicated 3D graphics acceleration, DSE sound chip and faster 3G speeds.
2. N96 has the best hardware for decoding movies, music and videos thus it gives users the best experience in watching or listening experience. This actually have an effect on power consumption thus extended power while watching videos or listening to music.
Samsung Innov8 DivX/H.263/H.264/WMV/MP4 player, MP3/eAAC+/WMA/AMR/RealAudio player
Does N96 support all these or do you have to install add-ons?
Samsung Innov8 dedicated audio and graphics processors.
Nokia N96 none.
Now how can a phone without these things be better?
It's like saying that a car with no engine is faster than one that has one.
3. Their are some features of the phone that where power hungry like the GPS and Wifi but this normally does eats up power which ever device you used. Laptop for example, internet browsing also eats up energy in those devices.
4. If you try to write every advantages or improvements of N96 over N95 or the competing brands, you can actually see that N96 produce a long list to advantages.
The Innov8 sets new standards, not carries on with old ones.
Yes, having Nokia painted on the plastic must make it faster despite all the hardware disadvantages, is that like red cars go faster?
"However, you won't get the same astonishing sound quality or camera as with the i8510, so once again, the N96 is a sensible choice only if you really fancy Nokia-branded phones - on all other fronts it falls flat when compared to the Samsung INNOV8"

Besides all this Nokia sell Australia cheap Chinese made one's and keep the better made Finnish one's for other countries.

Yet your the reson 4 the late reles of the N96 is not due 2 the NaviWeel....coz if the hardware was the in the 1st place it would cost even more 2 remove it from all the final product N96's....so wat you saying is not even comon sence....
I undarstand that its become a 10th world wonder y the N96 took so long 2 releas ,but the speculation wont help any....i dont knw y ppl dont just ask Nokia wat went wrong?.....
Coz wat u read is non sence.....
