Zahid, 24 May 2009Hi. U r wrong . i am also using Innov8. there are many diff... morei competely disagree

1)no you cannot change your case, but then again, it is a metal case, and not a creaky plastic one.

2)there are firmware updates over the air, im staring at the option right now.

3)the innov8 has supposedly the best camera out of any phone going, so i dont know how you can suggest the n96 camera is better.

4)the innov8 has two proccessors, which clock faster than the ones in the n96 for your information!!

5)i disagree again, the battery on the innov8 is quality with newer firmware updates. and anyway, nokia have shot themselves in the foot by providing a 950mah battery, since in terms of raw battery power, the innov8 easily surpasses it

6)i have no issues with dust, it has to be said, though i have also heard that. time will tell i guess.

7)3.5mm jack on the innov8, and you're right, you dont get the media buttons, but what you do get it brilliant sound quality.

innov8 is easily the best choice

1st you cannot change the innov8 Case , Keypad, for this u have to disassemble ur phone. it may cause avoid ur warranty.In N96 u can change cause , Keypad all things are available in market.
2nd there is no OTA firmware update activated for Innov8 and N96 firmware can updated Via OTA.
3rd Innov8 Use CMOS Sensor in Camera and N96 Use Carl Zeis Optics that is more powerful then CMOS.
4th Innov has single processor and N96 has Dual Processor.
5th Battry life of N96 much better in New Firmware then Innov8.
7th there is a hole backside of the slider and dust easily travel from this hole and can be see under the Screen and to remove this dust u have to disassemble ur phone.
8th there is no Headphone for Innov8 with Media buttons like N96.

I refer N96 Is the best choice.

Anonymous, 16 May 2009If You Want My Opinion Take The N96 INNOV8 Has 8 MP Camer... morei have an innov8 and i can tell you it's a huge step up from the n96 camera, so dont even go down that path.

plus the lens on the innov8 is far superior, and supports a bigger focal length.

+ the battery (like the n96) was a problem on early firmware, but now ive updated my innov8 firmware, the battery is not an issue. it will actually go for days.

I personally own both the Nokia N95 8i and the N96 16g and have found that the major differences are styling differences. The N95 is more reliable though. The 96 is constantly freezing regardless of how often the software gets upgraded. Its head set they offer is horrid, do yourself a favour and throw it away immediately if you buy an N96. The picture quality on the N96 is relatively good during the day but horrid under terrible light. The flash light is relatively useless, unless you're less than a metre away from whatever you're taking a picture of.

All in all i'd say buying the N96 is a waste of money as its not that different to the 95 and isn't as reliable.

Compare:N96 16Gb, N95 8Gb, N96 expandable up to 32Gb While N95 not, N96 DVB-H ready N95 nothing. N96 has decent audio quality N95 suffers from too much noise and lack of bass
N95 8G the only pros are: a bit better battery and a tad better camera

natasha, 21 May 2009please tell me some Head phone names... because i am very t... moreI using the sony MDR-E808 which came with my old sony cd player. They sounds great, very loud and deep bass.
But I dont think you could find them at the market. Another solution is to buy a W series of SE phones like w-850 headset and use its headphones singly. They are so comfortable closed air design which deliver great dynamics deep bass and clear vocals. They also reduce the environment noise because of their closed air design.
Or go to sony website and choose a closed air headphones. I do belive all of them are better than the crap N-96 stock headphones.
AND REMEMBER the shorter the cable the better you are cause you wanna connect them to the remote.

I hope I could help you
have fun with your N96:)

With nokia you get a pair of shit phones (included in the box). When you've got the new phones you will get the best audio experience there is in a phone today. I've compared it to iphone, w902 etc. They haven't the same audio quality as nokias top models, but only with good phones..

The sound hardwares has improved definitely. Much better than the N95s. Less noise and much better bass then 95 8g. The problem is stock headphones are POS. threw them away and buy something better then you will notice how good it sounds
