Checked this out today and the only downside comment I have is the design. I think the N95 looks better.

I guess nokia is trying the same trick as apple in terms of selling us slow phones/batteries and after that selling their new versions later on for a higher price. I experienced a few freeze ups while leaving my n96 phone on standby and had to reboot by taking the battery out. Will have to wait for a new firmware to come out then it might function better. Until then we might have to wait for the nokia n97, 98 or 99 to come out.

I have finally got my hands on the much awaited Nokia N96 which I have been waiting until its release in the UK which coincided with my contract being available for an upgrade. Now I have finally got my hands on the Nokia N96 and here is my opinion.
I have used the Nokia N95 for the year and a half since it was release Q2 – 2007. I have been a very satisfied customer of it despite its few drawbacks. I have been using almost all the features given on it, have been using TomTom installed on it and have been looking forward for the N96. I am actually pleased though there aren’t many significant Differences. My comparison is against the Nokia N95.
Positives:
o Larger Screen than the Nokia N95 and is very good. Would be very good when I get around installing TomTom on this
o Pleasant look and feel. Similar to the N95 but there is a slight difference felt. The Finish of the phone has attempted to go into iPhone territory. Looks nice, however as a person who doesn’t like finger marks on my phone, it is not that great. Easily shows finger marks. However I don’t bother as I tend to wipe it all the time. After 1 ½ years of using the N95 I haven’t got one single scratch mark on it.
o Has a kick stand accommodating for video / tv viewing. Speakers positioned accordingly.
o The phone though looks like a posh toy, it does have a feel of durability on it. So I am hoping it is as durable as my N95 after the rough throws I have put on it.
o I like the idea of DVB-H TV on the phone. Not got around using it yet, will be nice when I do, hopefully.
Negatives:
o Performance wise, there is a slight decline observed, and when I researched online, quite questionably it seems as if they have put in a processor with lower clock speed. I can’t understand why Nokia would downgrade on the processor when the Nokia N95 was not the greatest of performers anyway. However it is certainly not a showstopper, but an upgrade of the processor would have been very welcome.
o The Hands-free kit cannot control radio channels. You have to press the button on the phone to change channels. As a person who listens to the radio while walking to work with the phone in the pocket and switching channels using the handsfree kit, it is a total let down.
o The USB connector is nto the same as the Nokia N95 which used a generic Micro USB cable. The N96 has a slightly different one. So you have to have your Nokia N96 USB Cable now and cannot borrow it off a similar device like the N95 was able to.
o I am extremely surprised why Nokia stuck to the same battery as the N95 (the BL-5F) which was heavily criticised for it. I am used to the routine of recharging the phone everyday and having a spare battery on full charge at all times. However I expected the N96 to have improved the battery. The N95-8GB was given the BL-6F which was supposedly more lasting than the BL-5F. I wonder why they went back to the BL-5F.
o Sounds are not as great as the Nokia N95. The Nokia default ring tones are nicer, however is very softer. So I am compelled to use my choice of Mp3 song as the ring tone. The Volume of the speakers are not as crisp and sharp and loud as the N95.
o The back cover is too light weighted plastic. I fear I might hurt it easily.
Overall, I am excited about the phone nad intend to put to test over the next 18 months into my contract and I hope Nokia has upped the standards I have had in my mind on my good old N95 which I am going to miss after 18 months of great service. Love you N95, welcome N96!
