          Anonymous, 03 Sep 2008good device bu there r 3 things that sould have been ipmrov... moreN95 doesn't have 332mhz dual cpu . Use Xplore and go to device info . the cpu speed is 206 mhz !! but as you see , it's so faster than N81 that has 369mhz (not dual) cpu . Actually N95's cpu works as a 400mhz-cpu . so the cpu speed of N96 is more than N95. ( be sure ! i've tried my phone in device info many times !!)

                        Samsung have successfully began to penestrate into Nokia N series

                          To begin with, after buying N95, I have sworn never again to buy another Nokia. The build is far too shabby for the price we pay.

                          Anyway, Here's what I think about this phone:
                          1. TV tuner - not all countries uses the transmission format.
                          2. Battery will drain like mad with the TV on.
                          3. Samsung Omnia has already have the 16GB + SD slot.
                          4. Camera is out of date for a flagship.
                          5. Screen is too small compared to its competition.
                          6. Battery is far too weak.
                          7. Even with the N95's processor, it hangs often, why are they downgrading it in the N96?
                          8. if one can have built-in tv tuner, why not a built-in radio tuner? No one seems to care, for some reason....

                                    like what I've posted before...

                                    if you happen to own let's say N82, N95 classic or N95 8g right now you better keep it for a moment and not to jump and get this upcoming phones like the N79, N85 or even N96 because practically it's all the same. I think the ONLY worthy upgrade that we can really expect from nokia is their implementation of TOUCH UI OS.

                                    But for now, nobody really can deny the superiority of Samsung Innov8.

                                      just like Sony-Ericsson who equipped all their camera with Samsung's CCD/CMOS sensor.

                                        this phone was made as substitute to Nokia N95 (which is no longer available, well, at least here in my country), until the next N9* series coming out in february 2009.
