hi there
I have been reading the reviews and its hard for me to believe that a flagship mobile could have such a weak battery as described in some of the comments what about activating the power saving modes on the mobile has anyone done that and is there a difference in battery life thereafter? I would like to purchase the mobile I don't listen alot to music maybe 30 min a day and a hour or two on the internet and a few calls max 10 in a day would this use up all the battery life? if so then I think I should reconsider. Owners of this mobile please reply and advise?

James Mckeown, 11 Nov 2010Nokia N96 is a modern computer entertainment tv mobile phone. Can anyone just name one phone t... moreJames,I agree that n96 is a good phone I still haven't sold mine and still use it sometimes. But wordwide the n96 was not considered a succes for Nokia. Nokia lost the smartphone segment in the perior of n96 and n97 and they are trying to get it back with n8 and soon N9. The main feature the dvb tunner didn't help n96 to be a best seller,a relatively small procentage of costumers worldwide being interested in that feature. That technology was nothing new Samsung launching some phones with it. And and about the memory...few people actually need that much storage space. The 8GB of n95 was enought for many. And there are also memory cards. Nokia should have have made a more powerfull proccesor ,Ram memory and made sure that n96 doesn't lag and restarts so often. Most users would have preffered that instead of a dvb tunner!

The display is amazing,blazing fast, tons and tons of apps, hd video recording. The n96 is a good phone I admit that,let's be honest, it can't be compared with Galaxy.

The new touchscreens like Galaxy9000, X10 and N8 are so big (+-4") so they don't fit into top pocket easily and they are so thin that if they are in your back pocket, I think they will crack in half.
They also need a hell of a lot of data (downloads) to make them any thing decent.
I'm looking for a phone that is a good phone with a couple of extras, not a mini computer. N96 should do just fine! You certainly won't miss a call 'cos they ring so loud.
This may be my first Noksia since a 3210 (black 'n white screen). I've had SE's since then.

A bit far from me, MTN deals are only valid in South Africa. I hope they still have stock for me. There are too many replica N96's out there, so be careful where you buy one if you can find one. Replicas usually only have a 7 day warranty!

thanks.It is original Nokia with 2yrs warantee.
I will go and check it out further. The monthly price is low so I will still have spare cash for an added data bundle,all for less than the cost of an android phone.

Jon if you trust it is original Nokia N96 then buy. Nokia stop making it in 2009 because cost of production was very expensive. Nokia will be updating most of it's phones from 2011 frequently.

Jon if you trust it is original Nokia N96 then buy. Nokia stop producing it in 2009 because cost of production was very expensive. Nokia will be releasing frequent updates in 2011 to most of their handsets which consists of new browser and other features to improve performance.

James Mckeown, 09 Nov 2010The Live tv is free with 11 channels on Nokia n96 in Ghana. Nokia have discontinued the prod... moreThey're selling genuine new N96s here is SA. Must be unsold ones from the poor publicity when the phone first came out.(Not Chinese replicas).

Is it a good phone? Should I buy one and will I be happy with it? I don't care about TV on it, navigation more important and browsing/downloading.
Have all the initial problems been sorted out by software upgrades?

Let me know asap please.
Thanks.

Nokia have discontinued the production of N96, so is very difficult to get to buy at a shop.
