I have seen that Nokia N96 specs have been fixed (no infrared). The lack of infrared is not much of an issue, because IrDA is to be soon replaced by Bluetooth.

I have seen that review of N96 on mobile-review.com. I have some doubts about the sound quality test, though, because even the worst sound reproducers have the intermodulation distorsion below 0.2. N96 has 0.593??? Other than that, on the same website, is to be noticed that N96 has better sound results than N81 except for the frequency response (which is not much worse).

Question. Do you expect an improved version of this device towards the end of the year? If so, what can you expect to see new or improved? I have noticed that all successful Nokia phones have had later improved editions (see N93, N95, N81, N91 etc).

    This phone is useless by Nokia. poor battery. and in a millions years ders no way da battery can last even if nokia say the battery will last long due to software optimization on da the phone. Nokia lie even on there website on nseires.com they said n95 (classic) comes with 1000mah battery or summat. mine came wid 950mah battery.

    the thing thats going to cripple nokia is da new sony ericsson phones --> P5i/G900/C702/G700/(Cybershot HD Phones in 2009).

      Trying to be as unbiased as possible.
      Even after having 4 faulty N95 8GB units and having tried SE960i, Samsung F700, LG Viewty and last but not least the O2 xda Orbit 2 I am still of the opinion that the N95 8GB is the best one of the bunch.
      What the N96 will be like is anyone's guess. The styling of the N96 is rounder so will probably feel more comfortable to use. Time will tell.

      Peace.

              Ying, are you saying that N96 definitely has 3D acceleration? Does the N96 use the same processor as the N95 8GB?
              Nootz, there is no infrared on the N96: check out http://forumnokia.mobi/devices

                To AndyBurgin,

                The Nokia N96 is more so a technical improvement over the Nokia N95. Furthermore, the Nokia N96 is a solid statement voiding the myth of more features, bigger battery. This device will open new paths of acceptable features in which size, efficiency, and longevity would all be satisfied. The biggest "fab" currently is video. The concept of the Nokia N96 is to expand the consumers imagination beyond simple still photography, thus the video accelerating hardware.

                      www.mobile-review.com have a Prototype N96 review on there site now an the phone doesn"t seem to be as good as i expected as i have the Black N95 an does not seem to show much improvement from Nokia,but with the price tag an size of it i will be definetly looking for a full review of the final version released as the 6220 might look ugly but the camera an xenon flash might be worth buying instead, as the 16gb of memory will really make this phone to expensive for some people

                        mobile-review already has its 1st review for n96 (in english)..it seems that this n96 incorporated new tech, thats why only use smaller battery compare to n95 8gb..it can stay n last as long as n95 8gb due to its hardware spec that not power hungry like n95 8gb...kudos to nokia for answering & prove to ppl who thinks n96 battery is sucks...that it isnt suck..good job..

                              can anyone else see wat they are doin?? I have a K800i, love it, my mate bought an N95, faulty 3 times, then they bring out the N95 8 GB, and then this.He cintinually wants to upgrade, and this is where they suck most nokia user in.

                              Lets release one phone, then cause we know it will have software problems, release another one with a small diference, the lets release 3 more identical models!!

                              So glad the N70 was my last EVER nokia. Wake up and smell the roses.

                              Yes some of you will say biast SE user, but the difference is, I have used Nokia, and will never do so again, where as most nokia users have not used anything else because you fall for their tricks.

                              SE STRONG!!!!

                              PS, im glad E have launched a heap of new phones, to target those ppl who hated the N95. I will get my mates to SE for suurrrreeee

                                    Hello (friendly)
                                    I am need help to decidebetween this pone one and the PRADA screen one. Both phones are for touchscren fun but the clam/candy form appeals too.

                                    YOU say there are issues on the battery. YOU say that the phone is like the N84 in use (like the N95 before the N80. YOU say that the camera has. BUT ISAY in the real world all you are really going to do is some text and calls to people so ISAY that the battery will be fine.

                                    I really want this phone and what YOU say to be right for you.

                                    Best friendly,
                                    Matt

                                      to everyone....


                                      i guess its enough....


                                      we've been arguing so much about the disadvantages of this fone eg. lack of qwerty,size,battery longevity and efficiency,resolution,absence of touchscreen,OS,design and lack of camera lens cover.


                                      we've been asking why nokia did this and that.some provided useful information to answer this and that.still some are not contented,not satisfied and then another question pops out like it was never answered before.its unstoppable.the way people acts in this site is really unbelievable.



                                      people....learn to read and analyze. dont just dwell in the provided information that you gathered in some other websites or here.look for authenticity and possibility.
                                      remember what Steve Jobs said in one of his commencement address. "stay hungry,stay foolish" now people, grasp that using common sense. please



                                      and people please stop saying that nokia will not do this or that.you're not the CEO.nokia, as well as other phone manufacturers is doing their best. "they" did what they had to do. they gave their best (even if its not the best for you) and will continously strive for progress and innovations.if you most likely wants to extend your thoughts to nokia then hunt and talk to them ^_^
