Samsung is not Nokia and I wont throw my hard earn money to Samsung, the number one company haunted by durability issues?
Can samsung gave me durabilty?
Can samsung gave me the best customer service?
Can samsung gave me firmware updates?
Can samsung develop free 3rd party softwares?
Can samsung gave me the best navigational mobile map?
And my list goes on and on..
Can samsung gave me what Nokia can give?
A BIG No c", So why settle for less? Samsung, ah that brand?

That was to begin with and then you kept going on. That's what made me reply. Seems you have issues with your memory as well.
And ya let me clasify you. You are just a 'Blind' Nokia fan. After 10 pages of comments you have accepted something which is very obvious.

Friends, I have a shoe string budget, but I would love to buy one which has 3G and fast data access and a good 5MB camera, video. Give me the choice between N82, N958gb, N96 or would u advice me to wait for a couple of months and evaluate N85 before deciding on one...

Kal, 17 Sep 2008One can go to page 12 and still can read how you started basing ....well I wont say the name.
... moreLol u implied the i8510...lol you jst cnt stop ur self from mentioning the poor device...lol did Sammy pay you?....
Well where do u clasify me....then..
Coz i didnt puchase the N95-1 and N95 8GB....and i feel that the N96 has been built with me in mind...?FP2 UI more internal memory....and better sound Quality than the N95 8GB ....with high lights 2 deeper BASS in smape's review.....wich i totaly need....seen that i Play the Bass Guitar you see....Need 2 hear that Low note clearly.....
Like iv mentioned be4 the Media keys a asantial 2 a multimedia device.....
And dnt lie i neva Dissed or Bashed The i8510.....i still say its An "inovvation" 2 Sammy's portfolio....Im impressed....yet i would Get the G810 insted if i had extra money coz it looks better and Basicaly dose the same Thing....

Kenzo, 17 Sep 2008But ur the 1st one who mentioned the i8510......we just teling you that we not interested........ moreOne can go to page 12 and still can read how you started basing ....well I wont say the name.
So you wanna know what i think of N96. Here it is: If you want a value for money all-in-one allrounder then N85 tops the chart. N95 users seeking more memory and who doesn't want to switch to other brands could go for N96. I would rather suggest them to wait till Jan when the Actual flagship from nokia comes out. When they release a 8mp that will shut those people up who says Nokia is not after megapixel race. They have to release one.
And finally those who don't want to compromise on features and wants the BEST in the market, they could consider getting ....well I won't take the name again. Happy?

Ace, 17 Sep 2008Hi Guyz,
Juz wanna have an honest opinion about N96 and Samsung Innov8.
Which one do you... moreYou can have a look at the review of Innov8 which has a broad comparison with N96. It's up to you to decide.
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-i8510-en.shtml
No Innov8 doesn't have Tv Broadcast receiver. However there are 3rd party mobile tv applications which might help. You have to purchase it though. I'm not sure on this.
@thedvdmonster
I think you got the answer.

Hi Guyz,
Juz wanna have an honest opinion about N96 and Samsung Innov8.
Which one do you think is the best and why??
Other than the 8 Mp cam does the INNOV8 beat N96 in any other features??
Does the Innov8 have Tv Broadcast receiver like the N96??

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

has any1 read da review of n96? i have noticed that n96's display isnt as impress as n95 8gb. i tink its a lil bit dull if u knw wht i mean. if u read n85 review on mobile-review. n85 killed n96, n96's screen is totally dark. i would buy it but da screen is a problem.

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.
