Anonymous, 02 Nov 2008n92 was also sold on earth and so was n77. but they did not sell well. the main novelty of n96... moreYou make valid points......and all uv mentioned is wat i need great camera, Super sonic music expirience, outstanding picture/video clearity, GPS etc.....basically i want the N95 8GB....yet i dont like the memory limitation it comes with.....i had planed 2 purchase it...yet im a multimedia freak....and need all my vidoes movies and music on the gO.....and besides the DVB-H function in South Africa is free at the moment.....so i think the N96 would be the best value 4 me....coz i havnt owned an N95....
The Build Quality of the N95 8GB is superb in my Books.....the only reson i didnt get the it was the little 8GB it comes with.....oh well il just hav 2 get a hands on expirience 2 deside.....

iolo003, 02 Nov 2008here on earth n96 sold more than innov8 is france not part of earth? oh well it must be "out ... moren92 was also sold on earth and so was n77. but they did not sell well. the main novelty of n96 is the 16gb and dvb-h. 16gb cards are already available so 16gb is not a feature of n96 that will "wow" the public. and dvb-h equipped phones hardly sell in hundred thousand units because it has coverage for only 2% of the entire world. what are the other features of n96? 5mp camera, there are other 6 less expensive nokia phones with 5mp camera, and take note, all of them produce better image quality than n96, even 6220c has better image results. large screen: n95 8gb has the same screen but better contrast, 5800 has larger and much higher resolution screen but is just one third of n96's price. so i can't think of any feature n96 is superior than any other mobile phone. this phone is so much overpriced and overhyped! this phone is definitely better than 5110 but only fools or those people with so many cash will buy this phone! don't let nokia's marketing strategy deceive you. if u need 16gb, rather buy a 16gb card for ur n82 or n95 than buy this unjustly priced n96. if u want dvb-h, check first with ur service provider if they already have this service before investing a lot of money on something u might not need at the moment. if u want 100% of n96's features sans the 16gb and dvb-h, rather get the n95 8gb. it's less expensive and is better in overall performance. n96 for its premium price is not worth it. it's the most expensive nokia symbian phone but it's not the best in anything.

but Samsung phone prices drop real fast in my country.... and all the the more popular phones such as iphones and nokia, their prices doesn't really drop as much as Samsung.... even though i've done my research and think that Samsung Innov8 is good.... but the price drop worries me... cause i like to change phone... every once in a while...

Anonymous, 01 Nov 2008Can someone please tell me to use DVB-H if a tv sim is needed in South Africa.Yes A special sim is needed wich is called the USIM.......
What is a USIM?
In order to continue receiving the DVB-H trial signal, you will need to swap your current SIM card for a new USIM. A USIM will be provided free of charge to all trial recipients of the Sagem myMobileTV handset or you may Purchase one from MTN service stores near you.
USIM stands for Universal Subscriber Identity Module. A USIM looks exactly like a SIM and identifies a subscriber to the network in exactly the same way as a SIM does. However, a USIM has a higher data storage capacity and is better suited to more sophisticated mobile applications, such as DVB-H and 3G. In the DVB-H environment a USIM operates in much the same way as a DStv smartcard does in your decoder or PVR.
I dont knw how u get the Vodacom USIM ...im on MTN and planing 2 Get THe N96 next month

Hope it was of help 2 you.....

Alex, 01 Nov 2008DANIEL, you are right!!! Maybe N96 is nothing to write home about, but it is a good phone and ... moreIf you disable 3G, the TV doesn't work (not that it does anyway without network support), video calls don't work , youtube won't work, the net will be too slow, email will be slow among other things.
All in all a pretty pointless exercise but yes you are right the battery will last longer.
