DVB is of no use in the UK and the innov8 is available with 16GB built in memory also. i8510 (innov8)much better all round phone.

i've had a n95 for more than a year it's great! wonderfull device that manage all application I ecpect from it.and its hardware and firmware is perfect with no problem so far. and it's camera fantastic. thats why I'm a nokia fan. nokia phones are practical divices not just toys. so I'm determined to replace my n95 by n96 so that I will have a more battery life with a better design and more mass memory.
the only thing that I'm worry about is n96 camera quality. i saw some sample pictures of n96 here and wassn't satisfied by them. it seems it's picture quality it lower than n95's pictures.
PLEASE IF YOU HAVE A N96. UPLOAD SOME OF PICTURES HERE SO THAT WE CAN DECIDE ABOUT IT

Kenzo, 17 Sep 2008I also agree...its like this Multimedia computer was designed with ME in mind........
im geti... moreI stand by my words. I think I said that a long ago that N96 is a sensible choice only if you really fancy Nokia-branded phones.
btw I'm surprised to know that innov8 lacks 3.5mm jack "on top". wondering what GREAT advantage you get from having the jack "on top" and not the side.
No one but the mods over here have the right to shut anyone up. As long as iolo or anyone keeps posting about innv8 and if its wrong, I will reply.

im geting this before and of this year!!!!!!!
Could somebody Tell Kal 2 Get lost.....he's talking about giving credit and critisisym where its due ....yet he's Doing Non of the Abouv mentioned.....insted He's Promoting The Sammy i8510 and crushing the Nokia N96.....even if these 2 Devices are incompearable.....
In all your posts u mentioned the i8510 in compereson to the N96.
The N96 is Not ment2 compeet with any brands model....even Nokia said it....They Not in The Megapixel Race....!!! The i8510 LACKS multimedia funtionality...such as media keys and 3.5mm jack on top.....!
The N96 was meant 4 the Nokia user who wanted 2 purchased the N95 8GB....bt needed more memory and functions...meaning
The N96 is More Hard core Multimedia device tHan the N95 8GB.....hence Nokia Said its an ALTERNATIVE!!!!!!!....
So pleas stop promoting the i8510 coz we not interested.....This is a N96 post....try 2 post opinions souly based on the relevent topic :the Nokia N96!!!!!!!!

i've read n96 review in smape.com and i must say i'm impressed with this device. it's indeed the perfect most powerful multimedia device out there. the battery, even if it's the same n95-1 950mah battery, can last for 2.5 days of moderate use, 18 hours of music playback, that's even longer than n95 8gb's 1200mah battery life. the processor is doing a great job for power management and high quality playback of audio and video. there's no need for a separate decicated audio chip because its processor can provide enough power for excellent sound quality. the only advantage of samsung innov8 is the 8mp camera but n96 is better in overall performance. lucky are those people who will acquire this magnificent phone. the disadvantage of samsung innov8 even though it's also an s60 is that innov8 has no access to nokia OVI services like NGAGE, NOKIA MAPS, SHARE ONLINE, etc.. and s60 implementation on innov8 is very lousy. n96's nokia s60 user interface is very intuitive, advanced, attractive and user friendly at the same time. if this phone has 8mp only then it clearly destroys samsung innov8. but even if it has 5mp only, its overall multimedia capabilities are unmatched. i wish to have this phone. hopefully i can get one of these when the price drops.

iolo003, 17 Sep 2008haha is that retaliation?
why do you deny the fact that you are a Samsung fanboy, are you ash... moreListen fanboy, when nokia comes up with their 8mp n-series in Jan or sometime , then you talk about comparing it with Innov8. Alright. N96 is NOWHERE COLSE TO INNV8. Stop dreaming. Do you see how much people paid for N96? Its pretty much same as Innov8. Does it sound like "best value all-in-one device? Someone said N96 is for video. Does it support DivX ??
I like Samsung for many reason. Nokias design never appeal to me. Not at all except 8800 series which I'm sure is not designed by those regular Nokia designers. There is no denying the fact that Innov8 is right now the BEST music and imaging phone ever made. It doesn't matter what you say. SE walkman/N91 falls flat when it comes to music. There is no match for its camera either. It's build quality is far Superior, supports more movie formats, has a better screen to look at..and the list goes on. Oh well this is a Nokia section. So lets talk about them only. Cool.
Having a great customer support, a website dedicated for support and download fixes is great help. But did anyone ever..ever ask themselves why you need a firmware update in the first place??? What are you paying for then?? Oh ya, cause Nokia gives you phones without fixing all problems. They simply take you for granted. cause they have infrastructure to fix that later on. And you all dumbos go for that. Lol. I still have my S60 Samsung D720. Never needed a firmware update or any fixes. Runs as it was. End of story.
And for the other person talking about sliders, Its proven fact that no one makes better sliding mechanism in their phone than Samsung.

We are strictly users of Nokia handsets. Our difficulty is with the Service people (HCL) at Chennai. They keep us waiting, hanging and they even do not stick to the warranty norms. Otherwise we are happy with Nokia.
Why at all should we get problems ?

even i have 1,000 bucks right now, i'm not going to buy n96 because nokia's 8mp flagship device is just on the horizon and will retail at the same starting price of n96.

This phone, along with other feature packed phones, is ideal for people who do not have a pc, laptop and digital camera. It gives compromising results, but hey if this is the only think you can afford, then it's a good deal =)

Anonymous, 17 Sep 2008I never thought that there somebody would post that N80 has better slide than Samsung. I think... moreHe's high then ur a-s must be shaken. Do u know who make the first slider ph? I used many samsung , siemens, nokia slider phs (except SE). all are same. Get a life that making smooth and reliable slider is not that difficult for big manufacturers.

Kal, 16 Sep 2008There you go again!!!haha is that retaliation?
why do you deny the fact that you are a Samsung fanboy, are you ashame? im not ashame to say that im a Nokia follower because no other company at the moment can gave me the best products and support that Nokia do, specially now that the battle in phone sale shifts from hardware to software.
anyways you shifted on Nokia Sales topic which is still earning although its lower than they expected but not make or break like Samsung if they didn't lower their prices because you cant stand in the argument that N96 is the best choice than innov8 because its the best value all-in-one device.

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970I also have a N95 8GB. I had a N95-1 before and N95 8GB is so much improved in build quality compared to N95-1. I have no complaints about it. You're just unlucky you've got a defective unit. I have no reason to upgrade to N96.
