Anonymous, 06 Jun 2008Nokia 48.67% Sony Ericsson 13.3% Motorola 5.46% Samsung 4.83% Blackberry 1.22% LG 1.01% ... morehellooo??? pls refrain from making stories about mobile market shares buddy. ur beloved SE does not hold the no. 2 position. in fact, LG had recently overtook Sony Ericsson.


FACT:

1 - Nokia = 39.1%
2 - Samsung = 14.4%
3 - Motorola = 10.2%
4 - LG = 8.0%
5 - Sony Ericsson = 7.5%

those figures r from Gartner (May 2008)

handsfree sound quality matters for me so much.
i like sonyerricson's handsfree sound qualiti.
does N96 satisfy my subtlety for handsfree sound clarity, severance and an acceptable loudness among other phones?
i mean handsfree not the speakers

The Nokia N96 comes equipped with a DSP for sound and video processing; this way, their presence should boost the handset’s performance on these fronts. Let’s take a look at our battery time chart and see how well it fared in a duel with the Nokia N95 8Gb:

GPS-navigation – 3 hours
Video – 4.5 hours (rated at 5 hours, the Nokia N95 8Gb lasted 3.5 hours).
WEB surfing (over EDGE) – 3 hours (same 3 hours on the N95 8Gb).
Wi-Fi (non-stop data upload) – 3.5 hours (N95 8Gb – 3 hours).
Music (in headphones) – 13.5 hours (rated at 14 hours, the Nokia N95 8Gb – at 10 hours)
TV (only for the N96) – up to 5 hours.
Obviously, the N96’s hardware feats help it stay up in the video and music modes longer while packing a less capable battery. Other than that, it was on a par with the Nokia N95 8Gb (give or take in view of its inferior cell).

SE's interface way worse, repetitive Interface, its just the same old W800i interface with minor facelift like changing the icons dude. while Symbian is dynamic, compare this Version 9.3 with N95's Version 9.1. hey man i bet you dont even use Nokia, so dont simply guess and say Nokia's Symbian OS Version 9.3 boring.

Im into technicalities in today's technologies, especially when it come to multimedia capable mobile phones..

About the battery thing, Im sure Nokia opted to implement a lower rated battery in terms of Amperes, which matters most, because newer chips like processors boost lower current rating to improve eficiency thus reducing heat. Nokia Nseries cellphones employ these chips as processors, video driver, audio driver etc. One good example is the Intel processors. For Nokia, they utilize ARM and QUALCOM chips etc. That is it. Thank you for the attention!

nokia are getting really boring with their handsets now, i mean there's nothing really interesting about their phones anymore. why should i buy this phone over anyone else? sure it's got 16gb mem and Tv Funtionality but the interface is still the same - boring. plus the tv function wont work well here until 2012. the only good thing about this is the mem but that's about it. its exactly the same as their other phones - a mean they havent even bothered to change the battery !! i would wait for the market to change and then nokia will start taking all the things consumers want today like a touchscreen and that. i'm going to have a look t HTC, they look like a real contender.=)

for those who doubt the 950mah battery..
dont take it to conclusions yet..
we have to try the phone ourself first, with your daily usage..then we can see if the 950mah battery is really a joke or not
i said this because Nokia said the 9.2 FP2 doesnt consume as much battery as FP1 does..
so i guess we'll see about that..

nah i doubt it dude..
i don't think SE's sales will beat Nokia..
SE focuses their market on teenagers with their W series, and Nokia focuses on N series i suppose? a more multimedia people are their target..like me =)

Nokia 48.67%
Sony Ericsson 13.3%
Motorola 5.46%
Samsung 4.83%
Blackberry 1.22%
LG 1.01%

for only 4-5 years SE achieved all of this
until 2010 SE will have 27% of market and until 2014 they will have 50% of market
