    N96, N85 and N79 are quite disappointing products from Nokia. These are just more or less exact replicas of N95 8GB, N95 and N82. They don't differ much in terms of functionality. They are created to give customers plenty of options to choose from. So, Samsung is taking the lead this time with their all-in-one multimedia powerhouse Samsung INNOV8 and their touchscreen flagship device, Samsung OMNIA. Nokia loses to Samsung this time. I think Nokia should fire the engineers and designers who developed N96, N85 and N79. Nokia is always behind other mobile phone companies when it comes to innovation. APPLE which is not even a mobile phone company was the first to revolutionize touch based screen devices. And it took 2 long years for Nokia to create their iPhone version! Nokia is stuck with 5MP camera phones. While all other mobile phone companies have their 8MP camera phones already released in the market. Nokia is paying attention to lousy innovations that don't matter like DVB-H. Nobody needs it since its not yet widespread and I think it will take at least 5 more years to become fully available globally. N96 was released too late. 16GB cards is now available. N96 should've been released a year ago when news about 16GB cards was not yet flourishing so people would be excited about it.
    Anyways, don't get me wrong. These are just my opinions and I believe everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion. And Nokia should listen to my opinion because I believe my opinion is right!
    And don't get me wrong again. My remarks are constructive criticisms unlike most opinions here which are purely rubbish! Hahaha!
    Nevertheless, I still love Nokia. And I'm still going to buy an N85 because I'm a Nokia fangirl. Hahaha!

      JOJO, 23 Oct 2008Don't make a WAR between (nokia & samsung) it's wrong,In al... moreI respect u r opinion, but that is just u r personal opinion like this is just mine personal opinion. I allways buy every other phone except Nokia. The most of them was Samsungs (x120, D500, D600, D800, D900, u900...) but there was some Sony, Ericson, Sagem, Panasonic ...etc.. My phone for now is Moto V8. I just want some nice looking and in first place excelent construction and quality of materials , LOUD talking sound-because phone is for talking in first place. All that with fair price. Nokia ...... not single one of that. Mass production , childish cheapoplastik look , allways overpriced...NO THANKS. Never in this live.

                      Nokia n96 is so nice but but it would be more nice if it had a touch screen, could you modify the specs.

                                Don't make a WAR between (nokia & samsung) it's wrong,In all my life i never bought a samsung mobile...why?...because samsung is not like NOKIA...Nokia has a global market you can repair you phone in any place in the world..you can buy accessories for it also the software is available on the net .. Nokia give you the best mobile phone software (Symbian) and the best computer programe (Nokia PC suite) with (video maneger,music maneger,converter,back up,software updater,map maneger,application installer,PC sync) and give you all the support you need, ALSO don't forget the great mobile programs and games and themes that you can find it easily on the net,Nokia provide you A (HIGH-END) stuffs (mobiles,headphones,battery.....) and a good price and good warrenty>>>>>>>>WHAT I WANT AFTER THAT? its a cool company works for my pleasure why i buy from another company FOR a game that work on that phone and didn't work on the Nokia, I DON'T BUY A PHONE FOR GAMES I WANT TO USE ALL ITS FEATURES AND PERFORMANCE IN ANOTHER THINGS,I WANT GOOD SUPPORT,I WANT GOOD MATERIALS,I WANT GLOBAL WARRENTY,I WANT AVILABLE EASY SOFTWARES.NOKIA GIVE THAT I DON'T WANT SOMETHING ELSE.

                                I HOPE YOU GET THE POINT AND UNDERSTAND ME.
                                THANKS FOR READ.............
