      nokia n96 is finally released here in dubai. it currently costs AED3,100 or PHP37,000, while samsung innov8 16gb costs AED2,900 or PHP35,000, and samsung innov8 8gb costs AED2,650 or PHP32,000. i can't believe n96's price is higher than samsung innov8! n96 is already outdated. it should start selling at a cheaper price.

            most of the Nokia devices here in the Philippines were China made and their is nothing wrong with China made Nokia because they have same Quality Control that of Finland made. Its Nokia's very own factory but situated only in China.

                The firmware pre-installed in N96 when you bought it is full of bugs. This is the only Nseries phone released that comes with the most buggy first firmware version. The N78 pre-installed firmware, though buggy also, is still better than N96 firmware. I think Nokia has not yet finished the firmware yet they rushed in releasing this phone right away just to earn money. That's a shame! Performance-wise, N95 8GB is so much better than this. N96 does not deserve the title as N95 8Gb's successor. The only thing that this phone can boast is the 16Gb memory and the useless DVB-H. This phone is a total disaster. It only looks good on paper but it's actually horrible when you start to use it.

                  I really dis agree with all the users who give negative feedback on the phone or the nokia company.. i don't understand why someone should give negative feedback, as long as it's your money u first check the phone features and then buy, just don't blame the moment you didnt like the phone, company releases any kind of phones, but it should be our decision to think and then buy rather blaming this way.. i feel it's foolish ness on blaming on someone when you do foolish work.. I would still thank NOKIA on releasing good phones which is mind blowing and fantastic.. we are still here to support you.. thanks...

                    derek, 05 Oct 2008WOULD I SWAP AN 8MP CAMERSA FOR DVB-TV? At least the camera... morei will trade the 8MP for DVB-H because 8MP is nothing but a marketing ploy. you really dont use your camera often, unless you have nothing else to do with your life or if your a photographer who wants to print life size picture, total a waste of money.

                    DVB-H is available here in the Philippines and we are LUCKY enough to have it! oh yeah!

                      There is nothing new in this phone,
                      the battery is a let down too.
                      The design is far from impressive.
                      It is heavily overpriced.
                      In fact the 5800 express music seems far more impressive in features and in battery, also it is not overpriced............

The dvb-tv is useless in the uk until someone actually starts transmitting something. This application is a chocolate fire-guard-totally useless.

                          Anonymous, 05 Oct 2008no naviwheel, cif 15fps video only, very slow processor, lo... moreno. n95 8gb is much better than this one.
                          now it's clear that nokia just want to make large sum of money selling this unfinish and under-develop product to us.
                          anyway. i'll go for nokia n85. i think but i hope as well, it's not like this phone.

                            no naviwheel, cif 15fps video only, very slow processor, low capacity battery, smaller camera lens, worse picture quality, this is not an upgrade, this is a downgrade from n95 8gn!

                              kinda sad that n96 kinda underperforms....hopefully future firmware revisions would fix this...

                                Dani, 04 Oct 2008So it loses on the Gaming front but wins on the Video Recor... moredani


                                I meant to point out that not only does it lose over the n95 in terms of gaming


                                but on video recording as well...

                                you see the framerate of the link I provided...in the video....it is not smooth 30fps more like just 10-12 frames


                                and the video is not clear...or should I say not as clear as what a VGA video made by n82/n95 would be....


                                the video in the sample was washed out....almost no different from n80...

N95, N82 and innov8 are not touchscreens either, whats the argument here, i cant believe i'm arguing with somebody who cant read between the lines c",

                                    all-in-one device, not all-in-one touchscreen device.

                                      Actually, there are some blogsites whose authors are true N96 owners that are saying that N96 doesn't really have a Naviwheel. And I've seen from YouTube that the highest video quality that can be recorded on N96 is CIF 352x288 pixels resolution only. Another one is that N96 was supposed to beam VGA resolution via TV-out, but it's actually only QVGA.

                                        What is wrong with GSMArena? They don't like the N81-sh N96 design wherein its the most beautiful and futuristic design among all the NSeries. I hate the N95 design really, especially the buttons around the D-pad, that's so disorganized. The N96 design is neat and I like the rounded edges. It gives an impression that this phone is a futuristic, high-tech device. All the N81-ish design like N96, N85 and N78 are very good-looking.
