Nokia N96
THIS IS ONE AMAZING PHONE.
I cant wait to get it, iv held off for ages on getting the Nokia N95 thinking something better is around the corner.
Now they have done = Tv,+ n95 upgraded WAW Great, my ideal phone,
but Im guessing Freeview would also be an amazing idea on a phone like that then?
anyone else agree or would that be pushing it?

I'm not saying that a 2.8 inch display is small. And I wasn't saying that a VGA res on such a screen and on such a device would be useless. But be reasonable. Most applications run on QVGA, including games.
And about the QWERTY keyboard, you said yourself that this phone is not bad without it. But this keyboard is needed for intensive typing (Office, email, messages), which is not N96's purpose (although it is capable). And who needs what? An N96 with QWERTY or a desktop keyboard connected to it ? :)) I guess neither of them.
Steve J,
Don't let my "regressive thinking" stand in the way of your "progress". It will come anyway. But I really want to see your N96 with QWERTY cover your whole face when you make a call.

To the_Nootz,
unfortunately your thinking is regressive. Remember that the N96 has the ability to view AND edit office documents. Therefore typing with a QWERTY would be very useful; or are you telling us that Nokia put this feature in as a gimmick? There have been at least 25 N series phones. What is wrong with one of them having a QWERTY? As for the screen of course VGA is quintessential in a modern device. It shows four times the detail of QVGA therefore graphs, tables, charts and images will be much sharper. Do not be an enemy of progress with your regressive ideas.

@The_Nootz
so you're saying 2.8 is not big enough? i dont think so.
n96 with a qwerty is bad? guess you'll say no.though i get the idea that this is not a business phone. anyways,nowadays its not only professionals who desires for qwerty.qwerty is not only for professionals. n96 would be "more striking" with the qwerty but im not saying that is bad w/o it.
hope i see you outside your house with you stupid "desktop keyboard"
connected to your own n96(once you have it).how can you give a piece of an advice if you can hardly apply it to yourself?
" if you want an N96 with QWERTY, then take your desktop keyboard and connect your phone to it" ????
Q:who would want that????

In my childish opinion, I was saying that, IF the screen is big enough, a higher resolution is welcome. And you understand what that means.
And about the QWERTY keyboard, I meant that adding it on a device like N96 is needed IF the phone is dedicated to business environments (lots of typing etc.). Besides, this keyboard would make it a brick compared to its current size, and again, the same old story about the size of the device, blah, blah...
Congrats to Nokia for keeping the size of N96 reasonable, compared to is breathtaking features.
To everyone.
If you really want a VGA+ resolution on a 3+ inch device and a QWERTY keyboard, go for a UMPC or a PocketPC, or any other similar solution. This device is made for something else.

To Steve J.
About the high resolution screen... What do you want, to watch movies with a magnifying glass?:)) Cause you can't distinguish pixels on a 2.8 inch. How many phones have you seen with a VGA resolution and with a screen smaller than 3 inch?? For the multimedia purpose, the important thing is the SIZE of the screen, not the resolution (unless the screen is bog enough), that is, at least, in my humble opinion.
And now, to everyone obsessed with the QWERTY keyboard.
People, if you really want such a keyboard, buy an UMPC or a PocketPC that supports it. But if you want an N96 with QWERTY, then take your desktop keyboard and connect your phone to it, that would make you happy. Oh brother...
Like Ying said, "it's just amazing how people are never satisfied".

No lens cover again? I thought Nokia woulda learned already from N95 8GB. It does look nice. However there are two things that concerns me:
1. No lens cover for a very expensive phone
2. Batterylife. Is this going to be like the N95?
3. Bulkyness - The first N95 was pretty big. We all had to get used to it. Then the 8gig version came out, and that was even bigger. And now this? I may need bigger pockets from Nokia as well...

It DOES NOT record from a built in TV (at least it hasn't been mentioned, it would be the first phone to do so) and YES it IS real
It will record however if you have DVB-H access in your area, wikipedia DVB-H

To the general audience.
Unlike many, Nokia has been developing touchscreen for YEARS, not months. Furthermore, Nokia is coming out with a NEW touchscreen OS, called S60 Touch for mobile handsets. The general statements of Nokia not having touchscreen devices or needs to "keep up" is wrong.
Produced in 2004, Nokia's first touchscreen device, the Nokia 7710.

The purpose of the "E Series"
http://press.nokia.com/PR/200510/1015195_5.html
Nokia N Series is build for high performing MULTIMEDIA. QWERTY keyboards relate more so to business productivity. This is why Nokia hasn't, and probably ever won't, feature a QWERTY keyboard on N Series labeled devices.
To Steve J.
The N800 offers an onscreen touchscreen keyboard, while the N810 offers both physical and onscreen keyboards. No, they are not considered mobile handsets but rather wireless Internet appliances, nevertheless Nokia dubbed them as N Series devices. Personally, it contradicts. The only reasonably conclusion I came up with is the fact the devices specializes in Internet experiences, which according to Nokia falls under multimedia.
Adobe® Flash® 9 is a video/audio compression codec for desktops. Flash Player 9 renders this codec. The desktop-like N800 and N810 both feature the 2007 Internet Tablet OS edition which offers this plug-in. If you was implying mobile handsets should incorporate this technology, I'm sorry but it would literally be impossible, given current hardware availability, for any mobile device to do. Shoot, Windows and Mac are already encountering problems.
Flash Lite is the solution for mobile handsets, not pocket pcs. Flash Lite 3 can render most of Flash 8 encoded files. Proper display of Youtube.com depends solely on your browser, not the flash.
