Guys , i agree with your opinions about comparison between N96 and i8510 and i'm going to buy i8510 , but remember G810 that had been said to beat N95 and it was such a redicolous phone !!

Ok. I'll be the judge. First off, i've been searching for the best phone overall and yes, the n96 is good but a friend of mine who went at great lenghts to get it found out that the more photos and music embedded in your phone, the slower it gets and it even get's sluggish whenever it's turned off and turned back on. That's not cool at all. It also does not download at a fast rate at 3.5mb unlike the Samsung INNOV8 that will download at a whooping 7.5mb. The innov8 will have fifa 08 in 3d embedded in it with a new state of the art sound system and multimedia music and video streaming from divx, mp3, mp4, and the story goes on. You can personalise your front screen and it has 16gb of internal memory and you can always buy your own to make the memory even larger. It also has a bettere battery life ohh. and i have not even talked about the 8.1mp camera. not 8, 8.1megapixel.. To be honest, talking about the n96 as a better phone is just naive and completely ridiculous. there are no comparisons. samsung innov8 takes the fat pig home.

I'm happy that many people bash in this site. It just proves that their insecure with N96 and we love to hear more from you. Their all trying to bring down N96 yet cannot answer this question. Can those devices there talking about match up with Nokia N96's features? Nope.. ENVY this!!

nokia is the leading mobile phone in the world not because they have the best specs phone but because they have a smartest marketing strategy. there not running after sony ericsson or samsung, there running against what people needs in the real world. only geeks are happy about specs, normal people dont care about it because what matters to them is how applicable a phones becomes in their everyday life

you know what, before you boast a device, see to it that you have proof. it seems that you only base your opinion on specs written in paper.

keep on bashing, it just proves how envy you are with N96 c",

Loads will turn there back on the N96 an get the Samsung 8 mega slider instead as waiting for the N96 as been really annoying from Nokia they announced it in Febuary an still no sign of the N96 on the market anywere,this years been a very Quite one from Nokia uptil now,but still no reaction from Nokia about the better camera mobiles being available before theres was announce,i wonder if the Touch Screen mobiles as been the main reason Nokias gone Quite its had the main priority list these mobiles to catch up with the Samsung an Sony Ericsson

You cant call a phone a king by just by basing it on paper specs, where in the mobile world can you find such comparative procedure basing only on specs written. hahaha.. Paper specs is way different from actual specs. That if you heard that phrase yet.

Sadly Nokia N95 8Gb is still the king of mobile phones as of the moment..soon will be N96 since it will be release earlier.

Maybe Samsung, not!

I have Bad News and Good News!

Bad News, this phone will come out mid August in selected countries and Sept 2 worldwide.

The good news, this phone will only cost 480 US dollars so the market of this phone will be bigger than expected. seeing a fall in competitors sell of overhype and expensive phones.

This is not the phone there focusing into at the moment, there about to release an affordable touchscreen device called XpressMedia by 4th quarter this year and
the new flagship phone of Nokia 1st quartet
next year which is also a touchscreen device based on S60 with a wapping feature, watch for it as they going to announced it 4th quarter 2008 with element of surprise.

This moves are part of Nokia's Marketing Stategy, Releasing a high end phone with the economy of the world on downward spiral will surely be a disaster for any company.

N96's Camera will be good enough to compete with the 8MP's

Sony Ericsson have the C905, just for its Camera

Samsung now has i8510 INNOV8 - just for its Camera


Nokia N96 is more a Multimedia Competitor

its like the old days again

Nokia had 6230i with a 1.3MP

while the Samsung and SE both had 2MP's


Nokia might 1 step behind in terms of Camera MP's, but Nokia is about 10000 steps ahead in terms of Multimedia

N96 is good-All-Rounder

which does everything!

ive always been a loyal nokia fan but i dont understand why they cant put a xenon flash and lens cover on the n96, unbeleivable, and the newest phones have eight megapixels while the n96 is five, what are they thinking.

iluvmyn82, 25 Jul 2008no mobile phone company can stand on its own. every electronics company, as mobile phone compa... moreFYI

Nokia is the world’s biggest mobile phone producer and only few LCD manufacturers (like Sharp, TMD, EID and ST-LCD) provide screens for their phones. With its collaboration with Samsung, Nokia will have more and diversified suppliers. Contract starts mid 2007.

Hhhhmmm, this means that Samsung is just one of the supplier of Nokia's LCD screen and Sharp is there main supplier. Read the news okay!!

So that will mean i have to ask weither the Nokia phone that I will have had Samsung LCD, if it has I'm not going to buy that phone instead look for a Nokia phone that has either Sharp, TMD, EID and ST-LCD screens on them rather than Samsung in them..

Neo316, 25 Jul 2008I agree totally that the samsung beats this one hollow. The only thing worth comparing now is ... morelimited edition of nokia n96 is being sold already at around 700 euros. samsung i8510 innov8 will start selling at that same price range. bearing in mind all the features and advantages i8510 innov8 has over n96, samsung is more worth buying. unless, you're a hardcore loyal nokia fan like se admin you can always choose the n96. samsung i8510 innov8 is currently the most feature packed mobile phone as of this moment! the n96 is only second but the distance is huge!

Neo316, 25 Jul 2008I agree totally that the samsung beats this one hollow. The only thing worth comparing now is ... moreHold your horses Samsung Fan Boys
Your very excited about new your phone.

Do you think your Innov8 can beat N96? Think again, look closely on the specs at least from gsmarena, do it have enough specs to outnumber N96? I don't think so c",

Its just the 8MP and DIVX that was added in innov8 and this means an added price as well, not that much of an innovation. Its more like a copy cat than being innovative.

Innovation is what Apple did not Samsung.

Now when we talk about who has the most well rounded feature of them all, thats Nokia N96. Features that were already tested; 1. camera that can produce great pictures that average people needs unless their into photography business. 2. Good Video player that average person needs, crisp and clear, with dedicated buttons. 3. MP3 player that works in perfection, with a dedicated button of course. 4. a good DVB-H receiver, now being a necessity for people loves television but on the go always. 5. well thested GPS. Nokia Maps where you dont have to pay extra cost because nokia made them. 6. N-gage games, more and more games are now release, that quality games. 7. Office Suite, for business minded people.

8. I can go on with more but this post is long already

99. Product Support, Customer Service
100. Value For your money! because you dont have to pay for added feature like Samsung have that u really don't need.
