Hi Pedro,

My N96 is on his way to Nokia Care Main service. The Nokia care point try to figure out what happened but has no real touch on it. They assume it might be a software bug.

I hope I’m an isolated case, really !

Hi there!!

Just tried the card on my phone, and it worked great! No problems at all!

I think that Julien’s N96 problem was bad luck for him, and not a widespread problem.
Julien, how is your problem going? Already solved?

By: Julien Pellegrain

Julien Pellegrain — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 06:07:06 +0000

No it dont
I’m taking the Nokia to a Care service today.

I really think that the microSD thing is more a conincidence than the real cause of this bug.

More to come…

I received it yesterday but BE CAREFUL ! Using the card cause my N96 not to start anymore. The Navi button is lightened but the phone doesn’t start

I don’t know what to do. With this operation we never get any bill or something for warranty.

Did anyone receive the micro-SD card yet?

By: Julien Pellegrain

Julien Pellegrain — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:44:57 +0000

Ola Henrique !

16 Gb are for the internal memory.
8 Gb are for an additionnal micro-SD card wich will come by mail in next weeks (the cards are a little bit late so they send the box without it).
16 + 8 = 24

By: Henrique

Henrique — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:06:22 +0000

Number 35. mine came with only 16 Gb. i thought it would come with 24 GB. anyone got the 24?

Congrats Pedro!

By: Pedro

Pedro — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 09:37:15 +0000

Number 18 here!

The phone software has some minor problems, like changing views, and on the Maps it rebooted some times…

But nothing serious!

You’re not, the manual is downloadable here :

A manual would be nice though. Or am I missing something?

By: Julien Pellegrain

Julien Pellegrain — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:28:33 +0000

As far as I can tell there the phone is not numbered. Nor in the S/N neither on the case.

The number is written on the box cover and on the special Tshirt, that’s all.

Who’s n°1 ?

By: Julien Pellegrain

Julien Pellegrain — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:15:55 +0000

Farfar (the company that handles the N96 operation for Nokia) confirms me by mail that we will get the micro-SD separately, don’t worry.

By: Pedro

Pedro — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:15:04 +0000

I’ll stick with the bravery… too much work!

I see in your photos that there is a paper with a “serial number” for the limited edition. Is the phone numbered as well?

By: Julien Pellegrain

Julien Pellegrain — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:10:22 +0000

OK ! So I repeat to prevent from misunderstanding : I HAVE THE NOKIA N96 !

DHL delivers me this morning (11 am.)

By: Pedro

Pedro — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:09:55 +0000

Same here!! Sorry Julien!
Just saw the photos on your blog, and the microSD story…

@Pedro: Yeah, just found a note from DHL that they tried to deliver something (probably the headset), but no one was home. Second attempt is scheduled for tomorrow.
