just bought the n96 and i can say i'm totally disappointed by the phone, i had n95 8gb and it was really nice. waited for n96 sooo lond and in the end... i'm a fan of the nokia n-serries phones and i'm not using any different then N, but now i'm tring to find out what to like in my new n96. Bad battery, bad slide, can't charge it by usb, stupid, stupid lock/unlock key (shit), bad cam and so on and so on...
now the only thing i can do is to wait for the new model... preying it will be cleared by all this bugs... good luck

another thing that n96 makes it feel outdated is the processor. don't you know that n96 has the same arm 9 264mhz processor of the very old n92??? that processor is already 3 years old.

oled display on s60 is until just recently. n85 which has it is not yet even released. so understandbly, n96, which was in process of being developed into finished product months ago, does not have oled display. same holds true for fm transmitter. nokia has not yet acquired fm transmitter chips before n96 was created. naviwheel on n96 is deactivated in the firmware but n96 has the naviwheel hardware. maybe in the next major firmware update after the bugs are fixed they will activate the naviwheel. i've read also that n96 has 950mah battery because during the time n96 was being made, 1200mah or any larger battery was not yet available. it only means that n96 was first made before n95 8gb. it just took so long to develop this device into finished product. that's why n96 feels kinda outdated right now.

this phone is already outdated! all latest nokia phones "comes with music" but n96 doesn't. nobody cares if how many of you will buy this phone. but am not gonna buy it because i'm saving my 500euros for something worth it. i can't spend a lot of money for something i'm sure is not worth buying!

I'm getting one on Octomber 24. It's going to be better than any Apples or Googles with their stupid data and texting plans. Dont make me laugh about Samsung who waits for all the companies to release their cellphones and try to copy everyone. My eye can't tell the difference between a 5mp and 8mp camera.

I bought the n96 a day after its uk launch,
my first thoughts were that it looks brilliant but as i started using it all i could find was fault after fault.
Firstly the buttons below the screen (especially the right side back/exit button)
feel and sound cheap, everytime i press the buttons i hear squeaky noises - so no marks for quality
Secondly i thought being the new media phone with all the entertainment system in you pocket etc hype i thought plaving video clips in avi format using divx player would be of no problem, boy was i wrong, n73 can play divx files smoother and clearer let alone the n95.
Thirdly the dvb-h feature doesn't work in the UK yet thats the main feature that is supposed to keep this in-line for the best smart phone position in-comparison with the samsung.
Fourthly it boasts 128MB RAM, 256MB storage memory, Dual ARM 9 264 MHz CPU, then why isn't it as fast as my standard N95???
those are just some of the bad points and faults you will encounter "if you are a lucky N96 owner"
the good points:
the looks especially if u dont pick it up!!
the breathing light on the (fake)navi wheel
the lights on the second slide play/pause etc buttons
the screen size
the camera even after zooming it stays at 5mp while the n95 reduces its megapixels
the memory storage space

What is really amazing is that you could get n96 replica dual sim even before n96 gets official. Search on youtube, you'll be amazed. The replica is identical to n96 plus the "dual sim" feature at very convenient price. Nokia N96 is a "funny phone" for "Buggs Bunny" like people. Replica phone or replica company? Nokia?

Most of the features of this phone is degraded.
from the battery life to the processor.
everything.
and nokia call this a TOP OF THE LINE of all Nseries?
I don't think so.
Expensive, definitely it is. I'm willing to spend money for something that is worth of spending for.
Spending money for this phone is absurb.
I'll just go for Nokia N95 Series.

Who ever says this is a stupid phone really has some problems, this phone's intended use is music video and tv where it can play up to 14 hours. the phone is made for efficiency.

wel i must say n96 not that good ppl were looking for the next top phone and hoped that nokia would have out smarted samsung i guess not,wel all i can say is that the e90 and n95 was most probley designed by a woman but shure do believe that the n96 was designed by a men. damn females do know a work of art, hell no man dont know anthing of quality.
