Hands on With the Nokia N96

February 15th, 2008 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

So the long rumored Nokia N96 finally got announced. Nokia is naming it as the upgrade to the Nokia N95. We had a meeting with the product manager and I also took some hands-on pictures of this beauty. It looks good from the front, but I’m not as fascinated with the back. Read on for the pictures.

    Some of you maybe have consider the samsung g810 to be your next mobile phone, but in europe it will be about 560 euros. the only thing that amaze me of the g810 es the optical zoom. but how does that want to compete with the nokia n96. well it have xenon flash and symbian but not 16gb of buit in memory plus a micro sdhc port, not symbian 9.3 (g810=9.2 like the n95) don't have mobile tv, the good reception of all nokia phones. dont have video light. So N96 rocks!

    People on gsmarena.com are all worried about the battery life on the N96 an what do you except after having the N95 the battery was at first a big let down from Nokia until the software was upgraded to V.20.0.015 so i will an most other people who had the experience of the N95 be very worried about this on the N96,Hi hope Nokiablog do a review about the battery life on the N96 as soon as possible to assure everyone the N96 will not follow in the N95 steps an show Nokia as learnt from the big mistake releasing the N95 to early as the software was not ready for this mobile so you couldn"t use the functions on it or the battery ended being flat so recharging all the time which was very annoying indeed

    Quote "I’ve had my N95-3 for many months now and I could easily see small scratches on the lens, which I’m sure hurts the picture quality even if the phone is capable of delivering good photos."

    Well then buy a case for yoru phone you dumb fuckw1t!
  • what gadgets do you connect to the mini usb?
  • It would be nice if we had dvb-h in the US and the N96 supported US 3G on AT&T.;
  • Great pics from a camera. Looks a bit wide, but otherwise pretty solid. I've gotta do my research to see if there are any DVB-H folks doing anything in the US (I thought ATT was for a bit). Would be a nice device here, but seems better suited for the rest of the world in that digi-TV aspect.

    I would have liked to see a cover for the camera lens. I've had my N95-3 for many months now and I could easily see small scratches on the lens, which I'm sure hurts the picture quality even if the phone is capable of delivering good photos.
