Successor of N95? u gotta be kidding me. wat was n95 good at? nufing,the n95 was a excleent phone but da ting dat lets it down is da battery n how can u use da features on the phone for long?

n yet but still N96 got same battery as N95 looool.

N96 might aswell be called da N95 M Sucessor = Money Sucessor. nokia ripped people off...wid da launch of N95 8GB wid improved battery.

Nokia could have easily made a better battery for N95. if the chinese can do it the 2000mah battery why cant nokia?

BTW !!!
when nokia say do not use other batterys other than nokia it all lies from Nokia ! they say it coz then u would upgrade ur phone coz battery lets u down. Chinese/Japanense/American who make high capacity batterys for N95 n others models test the batterys before releasing.

so for u N95 users out ther why not buy a 2000mah battery.

also my N82 had a 1050mah battery i bought a battery off ebay a 1350mah batteery n i can tell u huge IMPROVMENT over nokia battery !

          SE's User Interface is Old and Gold and still going strong with AWESOME improvements.

          SE's Interface has the VIBE the Rhythm its just an awesome interface.

          Nokia's interface is to Businessy! and does get Boring after a while..

          SE's UI has Vibe and its Wicked..

                  Anonymous, 06 Jun 2008Nokia 48.67% Sony Ericsson 13.3% Motorola 5.46% Samsung ... morehellooo??? pls refrain from making stories about mobile market shares buddy. ur beloved SE does not hold the no. 2 position. in fact, LG had recently overtook Sony Ericsson.


                  FACT:

                  1 - Nokia = 39.1%
                  2 - Samsung = 14.4%
                  3 - Motorola = 10.2%
                  4 - LG = 8.0%
                  5 - Sony Ericsson = 7.5%

                  those figures r from Gartner (May 2008)
                  http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=680207

                    handsfree sound quality matters for me so much.
                    i like sonyerricson's handsfree sound qualiti.
                    does N96 satisfy my subtlety for handsfree sound clarity, severance and an acceptable loudness among other phones?
                    i mean handsfree not the speakers

                      The Nokia N96 comes equipped with a DSP for sound and video processing; this way, their presence should boost the handset’s performance on these fronts. Let’s take a look at our battery time chart and see how well it fared in a duel with the Nokia N95 8Gb:

                      GPS-navigation – 3 hours
                      Video – 4.5 hours (rated at 5 hours, the Nokia N95 8Gb lasted 3.5 hours).
                      WEB surfing (over EDGE) – 3 hours (same 3 hours on the N95 8Gb).
                      Wi-Fi (non-stop data upload) – 3.5 hours (N95 8Gb – 3 hours).
                      Music (in headphones) – 13.5 hours (rated at 14 hours, the Nokia N95 8Gb – at 10 hours)
                      TV (only for the N96) – up to 5 hours.
                      Obviously, the N96’s hardware feats help it stay up in the video and music modes longer while packing a less capable battery. Other than that, it was on a par with the Nokia N95 8Gb (give or take in view of its inferior cell).

                            SE's interface way worse, repetitive Interface, its just the same old W800i interface with minor facelift like changing the icons dude. while Symbian is dynamic, compare this Version 9.3 with N95's Version 9.1. hey man i bet you dont even use Nokia, so dont simply guess and say Nokia's Symbian OS Version 9.3 boring.

                              Im into technicalities in today's technologies, especially when it come to multimedia capable mobile phones..

                              About the battery thing, Im sure Nokia opted to implement a lower rated battery in terms of Amperes, which matters most, because newer chips like processors boost lower current rating to improve eficiency thus reducing heat. Nokia Nseries cellphones employ these chips as processors, video driver, audio driver etc. One good example is the Intel processors. For Nokia, they utilize ARM and QUALCOM chips etc. That is it. Thank you for the attention!

                                and surely, HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro did catch my attention nicely..
                                however..nah, i'll go for Iphone if it's for a touch screen device =)

                                      nokia are getting really boring with their handsets now, i mean there's nothing really interesting about their phones anymore. why should i buy this phone over anyone else? sure it's got 16gb mem and Tv Funtionality but the interface is still the same - boring. plus the tv function wont work well here until 2012. the only good thing about this is the mem but that's about it. its exactly the same as their other phones - a mean they havent even bothered to change the battery !! i would wait for the market to change and then nokia will start taking all the things consumers want today like a touchscreen and that. i'm going to have a look t HTC, they look like a real contender.=)

                                        for those who doubt the 950mah battery..
                                        dont take it to conclusions yet..
                                        we have to try the phone ourself first, with your daily usage..then we can see if the 950mah battery is really a joke or not
                                        i said this because Nokia said the 9.2 FP2 doesnt consume as much battery as FP1 does..
                                        so i guess we'll see about that..

                                        nah i doubt it dude..
                                        i don't think SE's sales will beat Nokia..
                                        SE focuses their market on teenagers with their W series, and Nokia focuses on N series i suppose? a more multimedia people are their target..like me =)
