In term of design definintely N95 8Gb win and in term of storage capacity can say N96(extendable to 32Gb).Both phone has dual processors and 128Mb RAM just that N96 does not have graphics accelerators. I bought it because it's a newer version of N95 8Gb and my comments is 4.7 out of 5 since im a nokia fans.

brynn, 31 May 2009Thats 2 votes for s/e k750i,,it was a miniature marvel..
Ive held dummy omnia hd and it is ... moreI agree the K750i is just awesome
I'm the same Dani who has been arguing with nick and allan, now it seems the forums have calmed down..
and my previous K850i's touch buttons were perfect, no problems at all ..
and yes i think i'l like touchscreen phones but i will keep my N95 8GB
I personally think the iPhone is the best touchscreen phone there is as its perfect ..

Anyone who buys this phone is just a Nokia fan. Garbage phone, garbage performance, high fault rate only those who like nokia would buy it...

Ive held dummy omnia hd and it is big but dont get it on orange..I am going to predict that you will not like touchscreen in the end but may be wrong...
Are you the Dani thats beeing arguing with allan and nick in these forums for years ha ha..I find it good when a good topic starts and off goes everyone defending their own brand..The forums have gone a bit stale but when nokia bring out their 8mp fone all the 8mp shootouts will begin and another set of wars will start..The only real argument i have not seen yet is the buttons against touchscreen one ,,it seems people are one or the other but i did like the half touchscreen of the s/e k850i..
With the lack of money this xmas i can see it being a time when companys will give it their all as its could spell the end for some companys..Lets see how things pan out...

n96 battery timing is not good. and n95 simple also because both have same battery BL-5F. one an half hour video you can watch only from full battery. any way n95 8gb has good battery timing with good speed.

and yeah i agree N96 is just like the original N95-1 and thats why i'v stepped back from the N95-1 and now N96 ..
this is another reason why i'd stay with my N95 8GB
Since i'v owned most of the SE K-Series such as a K810i, K850i i would get the C905
the best phones i'v had are K750i, K800i, Nokia 6230, 6230i, SE W810i SE have made the W902 as a good upgrade from W810i and Nokia have released the 6700 as a upgrade to 6300
I want a touchscreen phone next and i really want a iPhone 3G but i'l wait for the new iPhone HD
Omnia HD i like to

Dani, 31 May 2009Like i said in the N95 8GB forum, lets do a 'Top Trumps' between the phones and find out whic... moreIs that possible because lets take the samsung d600, it was one gorgeous soap bar fone but its talktime was 7hrs yet at 3hrs 50 minutes of mp3 playing it was dead ..The original n95 is rated at 6hrs talktime could last about 3hrs 10 mins talking..Some have 5 mp cams but some are top some are poor...What i am meaning is we do top trumps by spec it does not reveal much..
Some of the best fones ive had and kept for a reasonable amount of time ar siemens s45,,nokia 3650,,6630,,6680,,n95-1,,n958gb,,n73,,,then in s/e its k750i,,p900i,,then samsung d900,,g600 i had tonnes of others but were sold quick..I do see a theme tho and that i always end up back with nokia..
The n95-1 rattled using top slide it drove me crackers but was a top fone with 1350ma battery so sold it...The n958gb cut into the palm of hand using it one handed all the time and my hand is still damaged because get dermatitis in it still...IT was a good fone but now i am passed the 8gb mark anyway with songs and movies but that does not make n958gb in anyway in inferior its a snazzy smartfone..
N96 due soon and am going to stick with that,,i am not going to get n97 plus n86 seems invisible ..Some person said about bringing out n958gb but a 16gb version plus upgrades in ram etc,,that would be excellent but they wont listen to us consumers..We have begged in past to bring out old fones with new spec ie k750 but they dont OR they do but it looks totally different..Nokia do the better video recording and will survive when others fail,,they just have to learn to watch battery life and bugs for instance the n96 has gone back to original n95-1 battery which put lots of buyers off..The n96 was out of stock agin at plemix and available in 5-7 days so its still selling good,,just not as good as its little brothers/sisters the n95-1 and n958gb..

One ting that make me go for n96 instead of samsung innov8 is many people having dust issue under the screen, this thing cannot be fix by firmware.

It is a nice phone, but I like N81 8gb more than any other phone. This N96 feel cheap on my hand. But I still like it :) maybe it's beautiful and light. It is not that slow, it only takes time. anyway i rate this phone 8.7/10, while n81 8gb 8.9/10. :)
