        Man i saw a hands on preview of the Nokia N96 on Pasco and its so slick!!! man i can't wait to get my hands on one, and i just got a N78 and it is so cool, i'm willing to bet that the N96 will out sell the SE C902, Samsung Inovate and Omnia and as for LG, the N95 8GB and N82 already out sold the viety and the N96 will most probably outsell their LG KC910, it might not sell like the iphone which i hate) cause of all the hype, but do bare people that only 3mps behind is nothing, you people are bashing nokia just for 3mps? man 5mp is good enough for cell phones and its not like a 8mp Nokia will not come

          Bakhti, 25 Aug 2008Kal -- first and foremost, be respectful. Your efforts to b... moreIt's not me who said anything like samsung is the best or nokia is crap. This is a Nokia comment section, Its you who is picking up fights by draging samsung. Your experinece is based on d600 that's couple of years back. Update yourself or dont make such silly comments. Nokia design might not have changed but Samsung has changed a LOT.

          And Gosh give me a break, dont you find anything else other than BMW to compare nokia. Atleast BMW makes their own car. Nokia simply assembles 3rd party components and put them in a chinese made casing. But yes I give them credit. They do it well and they are great. No issues. But as long as you make stupid comments about others which are not true, I will dare you. Your statements doesnt sound solid at all.

Your efforts to be mockingly cynical and your exclamation marks are not only rude, but also pathetic. Don't be a regular Samsung fanboy(I've noticed that Samsung people tend to get rude and run around screaming Samsung is the best every time you make an objective comment about their devices). Secondly, don't dare telling me not to dare: this a public forum, I tell what I want and your job is to either agree or disagree with me. This is how it works.

                Now re your statements: I'm not here to pick up fights with anyone over Samsung (not worth it, I daresay). Whatever I say about Samsung is pretty much based on my own experience, if I say that I think that Samsung is crap, you may disagree, but I still think Samsung's crap.

                To all Samsung fanboys: the difference between Nokia and Samsung is like a difference between BMW and KIA -- you can have the latest KIA and it will have a DVD player and even GPS and tons of other features, but even a gilded steering wheel will not make KIA a BMW, you know why? Because BMW (for those who didn't understand the metaphor, read Nokia) gives you pleasure when you use it and KIA merely gets your around the town.

                  Nokia, nokia! You should STOP making UGLY phones! You might be the leading mobile makers but, yor designers are USELESS! Like Sony Ericsson, most of their mobiles look the same too! What's going on?

                  Your N and E-series - very slow, specially N76 and E65. If you're putting loads of stuff and applications in your mobiles, put a better and faster CPU and memory and of course a minimum of 1000mAh battery, forget about 800 or 900mAh!

Whoever used the new samsungs will say exactly opposite. They will not prefer to sattle with a plastic-finger magnet nokia. Each and every mobile review sites says loudly about the bulid quality and material used in new high-end samsungs. On the other hand its nokia whose build quality is quaestiable, those shiny plasticsare finger print/scratch magnet. Not to mentions they are still noob in making sliders. So lets keep it within nokia, dont dare to drag samsung on this.

Once, though, I made a mistake: when my 6100 was running out of its life span (strictly feature-wise), I decided to experiment and went for a high-end Samsung (I guess it was D600 or something). It was a mistake I still regret -- even the high-end D600 had a build quality of a $5 Chinese walkie-talkie. Not sure if you ever used Samsungs, but I'm telling you, your innovate will be the biggest disappointment in your cellular life. There is a reason why Nokia sold 120M handsets in the first quarter of 2008 -- quality, precision and performance, that's what makes Nokia a Nokia.

                                  This is exciting; I really hope they improved keypad on both of the phones (as compared to N81 and N79, respectively). I'm on a market for a new phone, so either of these guys could be a very good replacement. Go Nokia!

                                    OLED screens does not last long. you'll probably have to replace your LCD twice in 3 years. phone needs longer warranty for OLED.

                                      I think "AMOLED" has nothing to do with resolution. Must be a display technology like Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED).

                                        AM-OLED screens are Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode.
                                        They are only 0,53mm thick, very light, brighter and they consume a lot less energy (power) than normal LCD screens used in mobile phones.
                                        But the problem is they are expensive- some sources say that 40% of made AM-OLED screens are good enough to be sold and other 60% is dumped.
                                        It is relatively new technology.

                                        Sorry for my English:)
