After deep meditation I have come to the conclusion that this phone is half cocked. The E90 has proved that its TI OMAP 2420 processor is well capable of handling a high res screen. The N95 8GB also houses the same processor and yet Nokia shied away from implementing high res. The N96 should have now ascended to a VGA screen since it is the top N series that money can buy. The N96 is supposed to be a progressive move from the N95 8GB but instead of progression we have stagnation. The same old screen in a supposedly top device! The addition of a microSD slot was a correction to a bad mistake. They should never have presented the N95 8GB without the choice of expandable memory. Furthermore there is no 3D graphics hardware acceleration which is bad news for those into gaming. Nokia already have a TV phone in the N77 so implementing DVB-H was unnecessary. The official figures for battery life are worse than the N95 8GB which is depressing.
Another worrying aspect is the straight jacket, inflexible policy of making every N series with an alphanumeric keypad. A QWERTY simply makes it easier to type. Are Nokia telling us that those who type will be penalised by QWERTY not being included in N series phones?? We have had about 25 N series phones and not one of them has a QWERTY! Nobody should talk about the E series because they are awkward: the E90 is bulky and the E61i resembles a slice of bread- it is too wide! A slick N series phone with QWERTY would take the market by storm if Nokia can keep the weight to under 140g, give it a high res screen and a contemporary design eg slide-out QWERTY. Another great design is the flip as seen in the N93-sure, that phone was too thick but Nokia are well capable of making a slimmer version. They could move the lens to the back panel. Opening the flip, one could make your regular phonecalls. Conversely, opening the phone in laptop mode whereby the screen is in landscape orientation would enable one to type with a full QWERTY. In other words Nokia have many design and technical choices. They should not limit themselves to N series alphanumeric keypad phones. One last point is the flash player. Flash 9 will enable many video sites on the internet to be played but Nokia have no plans to implement this. N series Real player is limited in scope. Flash Lite as the name implies, is too light. For instance you can only attain the mobile version of Youtube with it.

its really a pity that the future N96 users would have to be "slightly more" conscious
with the settings of their phone to prolong battery consumption.
inconvenience or not?it varies on the user.
good thing here is that users will only use a certain setting when "needed" which results to conservation of energy.
everyone here needs to admit that battery longevity of n96 deserves attention NOW.

The bateery life is really questionable especially considering the phone does not charge itself when connected via usb cabling when connecting to the HSDPA speeds for the net. This makes it a bad choice. Nokia fanatics can you tell your designers to always improve on the present than to down grade. Check the N95 8Gig's bateery life is much better.

Maybe someone can help me out, I loved the 9300/9500 communicators for 2 reasons, the large qwerty keyboard and the fact that I could create text messages and have them sent out at a given time and date. In other words, I could create a text on monday and have it set up to send on tuesday at 11am. One of the great things about Symbian S80.
My question is, does the N96 do this?
Is there a program maybe for S60 that would allow for something like this to happen?
Thank you.

320*240 screen is it high-end or joke,at least 640*480 or wvga is needed but nokia battery cannot work with that,see n95

For all those obsessed with "Nokia should have a touchscreen".
GSMArena has presented a video about the new symbian s60 touch UI.

My advice to you is this: have some patience. A Nokia device featuring this UI is far from being released. In the meantime you should robably look elsewhere.
