Just curious...can this battery capacity support so much features in this phone? Looks like can't last a day of normal usage.

:( WHY CAN"T PHONE COMPANIES BEAT THE iPHONE?!? Why is it so hard to have a decent smart phone? Why is it so hard to stop copying the iPhone's design and be original not that I'm pointing any fingers (Samsung)? It's an iPod with a terrible camera, an extra large screen, a speaker on the bottom- oh, and a phone!!!

Rich, 24 Jun 2008Hi Folks. Can anyone tell me...There are a number of N96's for sale on Ebay. Are these genuine... morehey rich the thing is that phone is not even nokia XDDD its just called n96 but if you see closer the pics youll notices, its just a bad copy, no 3g, 1.3mp camera, no symbian and so on, the release is expected on july or agust this year, so just hold on a litte bit, the prices i guess it would be around 700dlls, i saw a site saying it would cost almost 700euros but i think thats too much

Hi Folks. Can anyone tell me...There are a number of N96's for sale on Ebay. Are these genuine? How come the big phone companies don't have it yet? When will the N96 be available to buy from the UK networks?
Thanks very much....

Hiiii there.
Nokia N96 vs SE C905 vs Nokia N82
Important fact!
For me, its not fair to give a comment about phone that hold status 'coming soon'.Actually we dont hav any pic about how great this phone in reality.
Quality Image...
But if we talking about SE C905 marvelous megapixel, just remember about K850i that all SE fan gave positive comment about it.Some will said that K850i SE is better than N82 (both xenon flash).But the reality is, SE's quality suck.Something wrong with its lens and xenon flash quality.Some picture taken at night will showed awful result, maybe it gonna be 'overflash' or 'dark overall'.How this situation happen??Maybe an expert can give a comment.But if you compare to Nokia N82, the picture's quality is great in both scene.N96 with 'double' LED flash maybe will give nearest result to xenon quality.This the fact!But the weakness of N82 is the batt life(maybe same with N96).SE's batt is much much better than Nokia phone.SE's brilliant in developed batt.Congrats SE!
Video Quality.
I dont understand why SE record a video in a QVGA quality,such a pathetic, but they can invent 8.1MP.Take a look at nokia's phone with VGA 30fps.If we compare the video quality between Nikon 7.1 MP Digital Camera and Nokia N82, it seem that nokia beat Nikon in term of video and still image quality.So, when we own N82, we might said that we had a real digital camera.Let me tell you my real experiment, using sony 5.0MP cybershot digital camera vs nokia N82 5.0MP Carl Zeiss.We can noticed the different between this gadget.N82 is the winner.Dont believe it?Well, its up to you my friend.Video recording at 30fps VGA is very important.U cannot compare to C905, coz the N82 is the clear winner in this category.N96 also record a video 30fps VGA.
Design Quality
SE C905 Rules!The greatest design.Nokia???Suck..such a cheap plastic...especially N82 black colour.C'mon Nokia, learn it from SE's designer.
Hopefully that my comment will help all my friends here.Go GSM arena Go!

why n96 is a black in colour ?
i like pink,green,violet,white...
5 mp is not enough..

oh i just read that this device is apparently not a "computer bla bla bla" device like the N95, it will be a "video-centric bla bla bla" device instead. That means it can possibly be called a "cinema" phone.
For that reason alone, I am willing to shed £600 of my money! yehey???
i will never buy this phone

Great discovery of nokia N96....with hifi stero...and 5.0 MP camera Plus extra 16GB of memory...m using what a great set......

- nEG
Dont tell me Nokia would call this phone a "Computer" again same as N95.
** sigh ** - marketing strategies
remember this: a phone would "never" be a computer. It could "try" and copy features but it would "never" be as fully functioning as a computer - Even if its symbian whatever.
Dont disagree - i am always right - and read properly what ive written before commenting back

Will be getting my CECT N96 tomorrow an can not wait to see an use it,the photos i got shown of the mobile looks outstanding,o.k the camera might not be 5 Mega-pixel on i have been told 2-3 one,i will be able get use to buttons on the Nokia N96 when it becomes available i am sure Nokia will be kicking themselves now taking so long to release the N96 with the C905 becoming available,but its the stupid Networks that slows down the releases because they want there own software on any mobile being made available
