Well it's an improvement of the N95, only the memory was 16GB instead of 8GB.

I like the n95 so then this will be better but who knows & by the way the n96 looks bigger than the normal n95 but I think I'll go with Samsung or Sony Ericsson, not sure yet.

Slight improvements on the N95 but nothing special. The screen is still a bit too small. Also no mention of a video out here, a unique feature of the N95 where I could watch videos on the projector.

All in all, by June the new 3G iPhone with 3rd party applications will have blown this out of the water.

N96, pah! I had the N95 when it first came out. Sent it back after one day. If I remember correctly it was advertised as 'what computers have become'. I am old enough to remember 1st generation computers & this phone was like trying to run a Pentium game on a 386 computer! It was slow & constantly froze. Just last week my teenage daughter was after buying her first contract phone of her own & she fancied the N95 8GB, against my advice. She took that back the very next day for the same reasons. Now, if Nokia STILL can't get their act together on a phone that has been out for some considerable time, how on earth are they going to get this one working properly? Most people who rave about their N95 phones are too embarrassed to admit it's a duffer & I bet those that choose a N96 will be no different. It's a case of the Kings new clothes I am afraid. Kids, feel free to look up (a) 386 computers & (b) the fable of the 'Kings new clothes'. ;-).

This Phone Looks Fantastic I Currently Have the N95 8GB Which Is Amazing But It's Not Due For Release Until Around August or September 2008 & All It Adds Is Memory & A TV Receiver. I Think They Could Have Implanted A 6 Megapixel Camera To Stay Ahead Because In Such A Big Phone I don't Think It Would Be To Hard.

Can't wait for this one, it's got to be the next best thing after the N95.

I have tried the Samsung phones, Sony Ericsson K850i but they are nowhere near the N95 & the N96 can only get better.

The only 2 things I didn't like about the N95 was that both the images & videos are in the same folder & that you can't put a password on the folders like on the Samsung phones but I hope they change this on the N96 especially having the photos & videos in separate folders.

The camera on the N95 is the best I have seen on a mobile, sports mode works brilliant.

I can't wait but I suppose good things come to people who wait!

First off it's the best phone ever. But with every good phone there is its down side. First off what's the point making a phone that does everything if it can't even stay powered up for the job. Standby time is 220 hours! That is round about the same as the Nokia N95 (not the 8GB version), that means charging your phone every night. & that means if you are an email person or a video or camera lover these things will drain your battery. There for I would go for the Nokia N81 or Nokia N81 8GB why? Because it does everything that the N96 does & has a wooping 400 hours standby time which will last 3 days including all your web surfing & music email etc. Plus there is N Gage gaming which we all know is Amazing! Real good graphics & just incredible, & the N96 just couldn't last, with a battery life like that. The N81 only has a 2MP camera where as the N96 a 5MP. Overall the N96 is the best! Just be prepared to charge every night! Nokia why do it!

These ratings I just guessed! I wouldn't be stupid enough to buy one because its features are the same is the n95 & the n81 so I don't really see the point when it looks the exact same as the n81 & the n81 is slightly smaller!

This phone only has a better camera & more memory but not even in the Nokia n81 8gig plus the battery is better in the n81! I think you get the point! Nokia ARE TOO LATE AT BRINGING IT OUT.

It looks nice but you might as well get the n81 which is exactly the same but with less memory & a worse camera.

What is the point in designing a great looking phone with great features then only giving it a 950mah battery? ! Its talk time & stand by time are less than the N95!

Did Nokia learn nothing from the N95? Did all those complaints from unhappy users count for nothing? Let's see how long it takes them to release another version with a 1200mah or larger battery.

The DVB H TV feature will also turn out to be useless for most people because it isn't available in many countries. It's not compatible with Freeview in the UK so no TV on it here.

Sadly the N96 is too little too late. I will pass on this model & wait for a Nokia with the new S60v5 OS towards the end of the year.

The Nokia N96 Is A Nice Phone, Everything Is Good Except the Top 3 Keys Will Activate If Pressure Is Applied To the Bottom On the Phone When Slide Down. No Point On Waiting Until August, I Would recommend the Nokia N82 Or Nokia N95 8GB Instead Of the Nokia N96. Another Factor With the N96 Is the Size, Its Bigger & Chunkier Than the Nokia N95 & N95 8GB. Hope This helps.

This looks so much better than the N95. But is it as good?

PERFECT. ONE OF the BEST MOBILE I have EVER SEEN. THANKS Nokia.

Reviewer: Sony Ericsson Vn - UK

Has all the best features of n81 & n95 but with 16GB (24GB if you add memory card) & better video options. This thing is going to be EXPENSIVE!

It isn't out until August so I wouldn't waste your time waiting when you can get a good phone now because by August phones will be so much better than this with so much more on them.

The N96 will be the best phone ever.
