Have both N96 (home) and N95 8GB (work) and honestly, N95 8GB is slightly better:
1. Faster (look at CPU specs)
2. Battery (also charging take less time)
3. Buttons works better
4. N96 feels bit plastic and breakable
5. N96 system crash at least twice a week

N96 is a good phone but go for N95 8GB or wait for new N96

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970If you have an n95 8gb, then dont get n96. Its a great phone, but its improvements are not major enough to replace your n95 8gb. Dont get innov8 either. Its like an n96 with an 8mp camera. Not too many improvements on it either. Wait for a better phone, but if you feel you must get a new phone soon, try something totally different like 5800xm or e71.

I upgraded from my old N95 to Samsung i8510. Definitely chose the right handset. Usual teething problems on N96 as with all N series handsets. I didn't like the feel of the N96, very cheap and the main feature of the phone is useless in the UK, I'd rather have the 8MP camera and optical joystick of the i8510. Much more of an upgrade than the N96

This is not a phone for N95 owners. N95 is still best. Quality of hard ware of this phone is absolutely terrible. Nokia’s No.1position is in danger Samsung is very close to take over. Samsung is technological power house. Nokia is trying hard bur recent models of Nokia are just run of mills except E71. Wake-up Nokia!!

Dear friends,
Let us be serious, this is a forum to help people selecting and discovering phones. Today after weeks of waiting I could play some hours with this mobile. This device is really not as bad as some people state here. For me it is clear after my test, N96 is better as N95 and N95 8GB. for sure it is better.
I really can not understand that adult people making this forum dirty with not founded pep talk.
N96 is a good phone, sure equal to the inov8 of Samsung. Samsung has a few advantaces, but Nokia stay Nokia. What about trade in value of Samsung compared to Nokia ? Do not get me wrong I am the biggest Nokia hater on earth, but be serious and stop writing lies. Nokia N96 is a great phone.

Dont get me wrong, i just love my 95-8gb, but i'd think long and hard about replacing it with one of these..
