SE Admin, 25 Jul 2008Samsung wont even come close to the sales of N96.. Look at ... moresamsung i8510 innov8 is more innovative than nokia n96. infact, i8510 innov8 is what n96 should've been in the first place. optical mouse better than fancy naviwheel, faster 7.2mbps hsdpa, dnse 3d surround sound, 8mp camera that shoots 120fps of qvga videos as well as vga 30fps videos, and backed up by a 1200mah battery! that's the true multimedia powerhouse. who needs dvb-h anyway? samsung can make dvb-h phones if they like since in korea they already launched couple of tv phones,but they find it still unnecessary right now. don't underestimate samsung. they're number 1 electronics company in the world. most of the hardware used by nokia comes from samsung. and only s60 is the one bought by samsung from nokia. samsung phones are durable phones! they're not made of cheap glossy plastic like nokia!

    Anonymous, 25 Jul 2008The true direct rival of Nokia N96 is Samsung INNOV8 i8510.... moreSamsung wont even come close to the sales of N96.. Look at how funny looks like specially when you turn it on, the icons are to cheap to look at, kinder garten icons..

    it has 8MP yes but i'm not paying more MP because 5MP is just enough to produce great result, it just add up to the price

    DIVX yes but Meida player of N96 shows good video as well..again extra price for nothing

    No DVB-H receiver for Samsung..

    The quality of Samsung products is a big problem, very vurnerable to breakage.. Cant imagine buying expensive phone that easily breaks into pieces. TRUST is the word, I dont trust Samsung anymore..

    Nokia has the best product support, the best innovative softwares. The best up to date software updates

    This are just few of the reasons why I'll choose N96 c",

      When is this phone going to be officially released for sale and where? So far, everyone says Sep 2008 in the UK first, yet there is a seller in Finland (via ebay!) that claims to have 30 in stock! WTF?

        All I can say is, it will take a customer so much brand loyalty to nokia to still prefer the N96 over Samsung INNOV8 i8510. Samsung INNOV8 i8510 is the new king now! Nokia's plans are not focused on 8MP camera phones. They are more inclined to developing touchscreen phones for the moment. See, Nokia's future devices are N79, N85 which are still on 5MP, and 5800, the first S60 touch UI.

          which is better? nokia's very own "naviwheel" or samsung's optical mouse?
          optical mouse - this takes the form of a touch pad (as on laptops) like control in the centre of the d-pad. it can be used to move around the UI or as for mouse-like functionality in the S60 browser.

            SE Admin, 24 Jul 2008How can that be. Why release it in Australia first? It sh... morephilippines is a poor country. unlike australia and canada, very few filipinos will buy an expensive phone in its first day of release in the market than buy a food. petroleum products, passenger fares, their cost are all going high!

              -8 megapixel camera
              -QVGA 120fps video recording (as well as VGA 30fps video record)
              -available in 8Gb and 16Gb variants (w/ microsd expansion slot)
              -DivX (& WMV) Player
              -Dual speakers w/ 3D surround sound supported by DNse 2.0
              -HSDPA 7.2 Mbps
              -Optical mouse

                  Guys, im really wondering if this phone could even last for the whole day. Of course, depending on how you use the phone. That's the basis. But what if for a heady user like me?
                  It has loads of features but I have some doubts if the battery could handle it and make it til the end of the day, til i got home.

                                    Some retailers n96 will be available in August and is pre-order. Maybe all of you knows FACE THE TASK website for nokia n96 limited edition. For the lucky one that can get a chance to order by donating 759euros (that's a lot) will get the n96 about a month earlier before the release to the public. The promotion for the website ends in July 31 and says for the lucky ones will recieve this edition a month earlier before release. So i would think N96 will be on sale to public in the end of August or maybe early September.
                                    Anybody got that chance? July 31st is near to end the limited edition n96.
                                    I think i got the chance yesterday evening, exciting what n96 limited edition will look like.
