will2, 26 Jan 2009I use this phone as a back-up - and it's 3 weeks old.
The ... moreOk myn neva did that. Al u hav2 do is restart ur device.
1 back up ur data on ur pc via pc suit.
2 switch of phone.
3 while of hold * 3 and green call button.
4 then switch on device while holding the three butons til nokia logo flashes then appers. 5 afta reboot restore al data from pc.
But if u hav the l8est firmware virsion wich is v12.043 then thers no need 2 to update. Device comes with v10. If u hav proper internet on ur pc then upgrade fm its worth it! Chek ur fm virsion on standby typ *#0000# u cn also chek 4 updates there.

I think My Last Nokia Phone (n85)was Better.It was much faster than n96. The differences are the processors of these phones

I use this phone as a back-up - and it's 3 weeks old.
The biggest problem is that it wil turn itself off, no matter what the battery condition is. This happens with keyGaurd on, in my pocket. Any one got any clues?
As a phone I find it Very slow and not well laid out on the menu front. Customising for personal use is minimal.
I would be hesitant on buying this phone if I were you. There are faster and easier phones out there, That don't turn themselves off.

i own a n82, i'd say im more happy with n82 rather then n96. I'd say n96 is just a n80 with some minor improvements. N95 8gb or n82 is better then this in my opinion. If you want the phone for its cool design, get n85

No hold on people, n96 is a good phone but come on, specs of n85 is a bit better, its not so big but still packs a nice 2.6 inch whereass the n96 is huge, the n85 has arm 11 processor , the n96 has the old arm 9 processor , n85 is alot faster , but all in all they pretty close, n96 does have 16gig hard drive , im from south africa an here the n85 and n96 is the same price, so it comes down to what you'd prefer. Both great phones, but i'd still recommend n82 as it has no flaws and is currently the fastest nseries an has the best camera on the market

hi, 25 Jan 2009the phone is bad , very slow and the display have only 240x... morePlease, now. The N96 _was_ (unusably) slow until firmware 12.043 came. After upgrade (use *#0000# or Nokia Software Upgrader or leave this to a repair shop if you're afraid of bricking you phone somehow - which can happen) it actually works, and the N96 is quite a powerhouse. If you're not making INXS calls every day, you should be able to cope on one daily charge. If you can live with this - AND get used to the a bit crappy keys (why does everything HAVE TO iPhone-like these days?) - the N96 will serve you fairly good, IMHO.
Honestly - I bought mine in October '08 (then it had some pre-12.043 firmware installed) - and tried to use it for one whole day - but it is the worst user experience I've had with any phone (for 15 years of different GSM phones since the GH197). I used the N95 until 12.043 became available. Weird feeling having bought a new phone, and not using it for two months, though ;) .
If you want a real "powerhouse" phone that has the compatibility and reliability of Nokia, I'd say it's safe to go for the N96 as long as you upgrade to 12.043. If you want the smoothest _user experience_ there is, you must of course go for an IPhone instead. But then I cannot NAME the list of features you miss out on with the N96.
And actually, even if it the N97 looks really good and has corrected "all" of N96, it's still quite a beast size-wise, so I still think N96 has it's place.
I'll hopefully use it for quite a time, so let's hope Nokia churns out those firmware updates and make it even better, snappier and more stable.
Cheers from a happy 32 gig N96 owner
