Carmen Delport , 17 Sep 2009To whom it may concern: I am from South Africa, Western C... moreI also upgraded from N73 to N96, I am experiencing problems with this handset which are as follows: it freezes, once it is off, the call register/log gets wiped off,when trying to play music it forever searches till it is switched off and restarted.
I have gone back to using my N73.
In my next upgrade I will not even look for the N-Series.It is a NIGHTMARE FOR ME

i reckon the n85 is better, faster cpu, better battery, but the n96 has dvb-h tuner, 16gb internal memory, crap battery life, but personally i have a n85, i live in austraila and you cant get digital tv here yet so dvb-h is useless and i dont need 16gb internal memory so i went for the n85, its cheaper and almost the exact same

It`s a great phone but the batery lasts only for 1 or 2 days. It is also a little slow.

Well, im due for an upgrade within the next week and after much thought and comparisons of various makes and models, ive come down to the N96 or N85. Both Phones are amazing. Im very sceptical over the N97 due to a couple of friends who have purchased similar phones - if something happens to that touch screen, it would be more economical to buy a complete new phone, another point for N97 is that its near impossible to sit down with the phone still in your pocket (could cause damage to touch-screen). But for what that phone can do is out of this world.

Im leaning heavily on the N96, i need it mainly for its camera/memory/storage space, and its also complimented by a 2.8inch screen (slightly bigger than N85). both have similar functions. I guess that at the end of the day, it boils down to what you exactly want in a phone - and there are many to chose from. - tailor the phone to suite your style.

Ive heard allot about software problems on the N96 as well as the somewhat dissapointing battery life.
A friend jokingly told me just to get a 2nd battery, but thats not the point. Ive heard you can switch from 3g, to 2g to try and increase battery life, will this help?

Also, its got a slower processor than the N95? what the hell were the Finns thinking of? - im assuming this has caused the "freezing" that many of you have mentioned below? whats the reliability like on this phone?

Regards

It's a very good cellular phone and if you are an true multimedia monsterthen i would suggest you to go with this phone becasue it has play music, watch movies, play games, everything is possible. The image is sharp and is easy to read subtitles. The N96 comes with a 5 mega pixel camera that is able to make beautiful pictures and make videos. Surfing the internet on this N96 is no problem. The phone supports UMTS and HSDPA, making you almost as fast Internet access at home. The N96 has a Dual ARM CPU 9264 MHz processor with 128mb RAM. The device runs on the new symbian OS 9.3 S60 OS. Like the N95, the Nokia N96 with a dual slider at one end to the regular keypad and the other special multimedia keys. The internal memory of this smartphone is a whopping 16gb and that is through a microSD memory further expandable with 8gb.
