Only 2 downsides of this ph which actually are NOT weaknesses.
1) Batt life: Reviews in some sites already stated that battery life is satisfatory. I am sure it will be better than Diamond. Ppl should not complain too much abt nokia battery (by just looking at its capacity). Samsung phs batt life is more terrible (I dun mention LG coz I never use LG b4). Last time I owned nokia 6300(popular for its weak battery) and samsung D900 . Both have abt the same battery life.
2) screen res of 240 x 320. If nokia make other screen res, almost all 3rd available s60 application may not be suitable for N96.

Anonymous, 06 Sep 2008n96's battery will last much longer than n95 even if it's only 950mah because n96's processor ... moreI totally agree about the battery life issue, the N95 does consume more power than the N96. Im so tired of consumers complaining about battery life because whether its Nokia, Moto, Samsung etc; what do you expect from a high-end phone that has features that you may use for an adequate amount of time.... anyway, I have the N95 and the N82 and im satisfied but I know I will be getting the N96 once it is released. Im excited and cant wait!! Nokia phones are my all time favorites.

you should read the n96 review at allaboutsymbian.com. it's battery life managed to last longer than expected. this phone doesn't need a 1200mah battery. because its 950mah battery is equivalent to 1200mah battery already. thanks to its low power consuming processor and power efficient software.

what's the problem with you guys? n96 is not the only phone that has dual processor. even the n95, n95 8gb, n82 & e90 have even more powerful dual processor running at faster clock rate. and even the 3 years old n91 has a dual processor also. you won't multiply twice the speed of the individual processor since they run separately. and for people saying negative about n96's battery life, 950mah battery of n96 will last longer than 1050mah battery of n82. n96's processor consumes very less battery power compared to any other processors. plus the fp2 is very power efficient.

I really like to buy the this phone, but what is stopping me is the price, the negative feedback regarding it's processor and the battery life.
I like what is inside but in order for me to enjoy it the whole day the battery should at least last for 16 hours.
Can any one just post any hands on experience on this phone, it will really help us.
