Responding to The_nootz.

I'm sorry, I can't quite answer that. Reason being, the scenario you gave of 950 mAh battery not lasting for more than two days if you take a couple of shots and listen to an album is too broad. Are you questioning stand-by time after stated usage? Are you including daily calls? What are the durations of the calls? Furthermore, are the calls being based on a 2G or 3G frequency? There's many factors that goes into the longevity of a battery.

Realistically, no mobile handset's battery, under constant heavy use, will last more than two days, or 48 hours regardless of capacity. This is law. Many misinterpret the quoted stand-by/talk times in mobile handsets' descriptions. All resulted times are formulated, which is basically theoretic. This theory does not incorporate other power draining factors. Basic stuff like powering up of the device or keeping the LCD screen lit for example.

I guess the only reasonable answer to your question is that it depends on how you use the device. Overall, a more moderate user will ultimately have longer usage of the device compared to a heavy user.

To Ying

About the BL-5F 950 mAh battery of the N96

Aw, gimme a break. The N95 and N96 both use the same battery, that's true. And the N96 lasts longer, that may also be true. BUT you can't tell me that the battery can last for more than two days if you take a couple of shots and listen to an album.

GSMArena has also shown the discovery of these new Li-Ion batteries, BUT the N96 WON'T have that type of batteries. So the battery is still its major drawback.

Waiting for a response...

S60 Touch was cancelled due to DRM issues...

And N96 is equipped with n-gage v2 (v1 is a hardware)

Motorola is bringing out a touch screen phone later this year with roughly the same specs as this but with a 8mp camera and a better battery.

Response to PDPg.

The overall concept of the tactical feedback is to provide the user with an unique experience. More specifically, when you press a key on the screen, it clicks under your finger with exactly the same sort of fingertip feedback as if you had pressed a conventional keyboard key.

Regards to it being "barely needed", that's an overstatement. Personally, tactile feedback is equivalent to devices' voice speech/recognition function in my opinion. I'll elaborate on that if needed (I'm sure I will be).

I'm pretty sure sufficient battery sources will not be an issue, especially with technological advances like this...

@Ying.



ever wonder why nokia cancelled its production?

that "physical pulse "you were saying
is barely needed because you're eyes are open when you use the phone right?


so that means with your eyes alone you can recognize if the device is responding properly.


that "physical pulse " will surely drain its battery much faster.


"some seriously research." seriously research???? lol
