    has anyone got the NaviWheel wroking
  • Ray
    Nope I'm not in the UK. Ordered mine in Australia but got it shipped to Singapore 'cause phones take forever to get released in oz.

    Haven't got the Naviwheel working either. Is it seriously running Feature Pack 2?? None of the 'improvements' save the new task menu seem to be working. I can't turn on transitions either; it actually feels like a step back from my N82. Early firmware, perhaps.
  • Oliver
    Today I think the battery got better, I'm using the N96 now for at least 6 hours for power-using and calls and there's no battery bar gone, so maybe even this type of battery has to calibrate.

    Cheers,
    Oliver

    Mine just came too. Phone's fine, but the box was in pieces and dented at the corners. Looks like the hinges and clasp are just glued on - and not very well too! And one of the internal dividers has disintegrated into little fragments...

    Doesn't bode very well for the phone itself :( The battery cover is incredibly flimsy, it feels half as thick as the one on my n82.
  • Are you going to get them replaced? Let us know.
  • john mortimer
    how do i go about doing that
    are they not Limited Edition boxs
    ay emails to get this fixed
  • john mortimer

    At this time, I put my new gadget to be charged for some hours...and after that, I will be connected !!!
    For some that do not receive your N96 yet...be patient !!! It comes to me , it will come to you !!!

    Hi ACM,

    Congrats!

    Where did the N96 sent from?
    Check the sender.
    Sweden?

    Im just curious, if all the N96 limited edition are coming from only One place.

    Do they have a contact number as well or someone to email to?

    Again, congratulations and enjoy N96, being one of the lucky ones.
  • Oliver
    They were all coming von "Arlanda - Sweden"
    I don't have a direct contact number.
  • Oliver
    It's a shock for me to switch from the E90 which has a really good battery time to the N96.

    I think I have to put my 2nd sim card in it to check my mails.

    I don't even think on IMAP-idle on the N96 ;-)
  • Oliver
    I hope there'll be a software update soon, because I had a few bugs the last days.

    And I'm not really satisfied with the battery.
    Have to charged it one to two times a day.

    Hope this gets better, otherwise I have to buy a USB-charger to be online on all confs ;-)
  • two times a day is one too many. i can handle charging a phone every night, but two is just too much. Anyone else can comment on actual battery life and the type of usage usage?
  • Oliver
    But I have to say, that I used the video recording suite and the DVB-H Live TV (which is probably really requiring lot of battery time)

    I'm not with Nokia, that they put the 950mah battery in the N96, it is the same mistake they made at the first N95.
  • john mortimer
    please note that i watched 2 hours of video (included on the phone) on it and taken one 5 min call
    and the phone is on full power

    please note that DVB-H Live TV will kill the battery fast also it you had the bigger battery then it will only hlp with that for about 30min more max
