Nokia N96 - user opinions and reviews

I do not think this phone is worth over £550. Even on contract they will be charging £200 for this phone, thats not too bad, but would not pay this high end price.

Samsungs actual rival is LG. Both their buildings are litterally next to each other and apparantly they spy on each other to see what new ideas each of them have.
This is what I've been told by LG and Samsung workers in my Training. They're not really interested in other brands in which I think is quite silly

Anonymous, 11 Sep 2008what do u mean by N96 camera is lousier than N95? n96's 5mp camera is the worst and lowest graded among all 5mp cameras from nokia.
n96 - focal distance 5.2
n85/n79 - focal distance 5.45
n82/n95/n95 8gb - focal distance 5.6
n96's camera is a downgrade from n95/n82's camera. theyre not identical in hardware and technical specs. n96's camera lens is smaller than n95/n82's camera lens and produces worse image quality.

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Go check out the Samsung Innov8 forums. You can clearly see that a bunch of Nokia users and N96 users come and post comments. They arent hating on the product, maybe not so sure about the N96 anymore..? ;-)

iolo003, 11 Sep 2008you even come here to promote innov8 c",
thats an act of desperation my friend..
save your... moreI am not pro samsung but after reading your post, makes me want to testify for samsung.
I used samsung phones before, still having one of them this moment. My dad has been using samsung phones for years... No durability issues....
I used SE and Nokia too. currently using E71. I love my E71 but please don't condemn Samsung. It's a good brand and they make good phones.

I have to tell the real story. I am not a particular brand fan. bocz my meal is not provided from either nokia or samsung or se.
When samsung announced omnia, I was shocked (like most ppl) and I definetly thought it's miles better than i phone (bcoz of its specs). And I bought it (cheap bcoz I got it with contract) once its released. But I dun have it now. Sold it already. And u can see how many ppl are selling away their omnias in online ads. And how many ppl are willing to buy i phone. Dun say I am new to winmo. I used a few O2 phs b4.
So, if u want to buy samsung, go ahead and gd luck.

save your dignity and Samsungs, but anyways Samsung have no dignity because it is haunted by Durability Issues..
Sony Ericsson, LG and Motorola dont, its singled out to Samsung and its a revenge from the millions of souring victims of Samsung's wicked practice. They deserve it c",

their are many Samsung users who wants to shift to N96 c", or Nokia in general because they notice how vurnerable Samsung products are and that 8MP doesnt really matter at all, and their smart enough to choose the best all-in-one device.
if it has captured attention of readers and potential buyers, it would have hit big in this site but it didn't, N85 is even catching up with innov8's hits and votes here on GSMarena and it was only announce a week ago, thats very funny c",
i can feel your anger friend that's because no matter how many pixel you throw in to your device, it wont capture attention of regular consumers because its not Nokia, its just the other brand.
have you ask people you meet if they are to choose between 8MP or TV with vintage 5MP Carl Ziess on their mobile device?

Within a week its price has drastically fallen from 750 euros to 400. First slap on Nokia since top leader. Its just N81 with 16GB storage poor processor and batt.I anticipate would touch 500$ by 4Qtr.
Nothing new as inflation has beaten peoples buying power. Older models would now be n demand as discontinued.

It seems like the Battery life must be really bad. I have problem with my E66 which advetised more than 7 hours talk time. N96 advetized only 3 hours vs. N95 of 6 hours. Goodbye N96
