  IMHO, you just cant fault the N96. Compared to the N95 8GB, which is a nice looking phone in itself, the N96 is a sleek, simplistic, clean lined beauty. Its like zen when its idle, nothing is shouting out at you, and its just uniform.
  Its just a fine evolution in design from its older siblin there.

  To hell with battery capacity, afterall there are many still enjoying the original N95 with its dismal battery. I’m more of the impression tha the software enhancments in Feature Pack 2 will make more efficient use for the battery…..less waste.

  A definate buy for me.

  I certainly like the new clean simplistic design a lot more than the previous model. Although I have to admit the N95 looks a lot more manly and a lot more rugged where it gives you that “indestructible” feel.

  Nevertheless, phones screens nowadays are ditching the ridges a long the sides to give a more smooth slick feel which I prefer. Plus it gives an end to those mysterious dust particles that manage to slip through and underneath the screen (god I hate when that happens).

  WTF look at these like you’ve never seen either. Forget the specs. The N95 is way way way better looking. If it was comming out after the N96 and called the N98 all of you would be like I MUST HAVE IT NOW. The N95 wins on looks, loses on fetures, and we will see about function.

  Some models look like n96:n81,n78…I think n95 8gb win.Have a good feel when tasting n95 8gb.N96 is a copy like Iphone in static forms.He win only in memory storage and two apps implemented by Nokia.But in beauty and usage time will say…

  I really like the N95 8GB. It’s a nice clean well put together phone but if the N96 is sporting the same specs then it has my vote. It’s got to be the clean cut sleek look that makes it more appealing. Battery life may be worse but that’s what extended batteries were invented for!

  and you think the n96 is a copy of the iphone? How funny lol and insulting to nokia at the same time and by the way n 96 is 100000 times better than the iphone lol the iphone only has like 2 mp cam? While the n96 is a gaming . 5mp Camera. Gps . Wifi.music And 16 gig memory whats so great about the iphone lol certainly cant compare with these nokia giants:) no offence

  I think the N96 definitely looks more sleek. I don’t think i could justify the upgrade though from my N95. Unless i all of a sudden became more hungry for storage space. At the moment 8gb is ample for me.

  i can’t make my mind up i’v got the old n95 and i don’t know weather to get the n95 8 gig or the n96

• GeorgeL says:

  I wouldn’t get the N96, I think is practically the same cellphone as the N95, they just change the way it looks outside, if they wanted to improve it, they should have made it Touchscreen, improve the GPS (Make it faster) and also increase the resolution in the Camara (Picture and Video).

  how do we know its got a worse battery than the n95?? 8gb the phone isnt even out yet!! sure its got a smaller battery but it may have the same battery life.

  i dont know they both are nice i have the n95-8g but im gonna be jumping to the n96 because of the memory but i did not see the Infered in the pics and my irremote is a MUST does the n96 have Inferred

• Jonathan says:
  June 9th, 2008 at 9:22 am

  I JUST LOOKED IT UP NO inferred i will pass on the n96 only cause the universal remote blows ANY feature out of the water

• Barnes says:

  Hola a todos mi nombre es Jose, well first able i wanna apologize cause my English is not so good, well i was looking your comments, and i agree with some of them but i disagree with this one that said that Nokia n96 is a copy of Iphone its absolutely en seine, well between N96 and N95 8gb i think its a big difference, well as u know Nokia n96 is a version for Europe cause they have 3g network with HSDPA/WCDMA and i think they already have HSUPA, but the big different is that N96 has the DVB-H standard which is the European standard for digital tv, America has another standard which not support digital tv in mobiles but actually they have an external device that allow terminal use digital Tv ; and i think in this new models Nokia is making terminal that works in the band of 850, 1900 and 2100 with HSDPA cause initially only works with 2100 which is the frequency that use Europe. An related with design i think N96 is a little bit simple than N95 8GB, our friend from Nokia made a great work with N95 that’s why was kind of difficult to make a better one. Now i would like to know your opinions about N95 8Gb and Iphone 3G which has 5megapixels camera and also works with HSDPA and more features.
  Apple is breaking the market not only in USA want to enter to Asia and Europe, we will see if Nokia with Symbian will stop that.
  DANKE

  Fe erratas: By mistake i wrote 5megapixels instead of 2megapixeles, i think its almost impossible to make a 5 mega pixels camera with that dimensions.

  There is no comparison in looks, the N96 is just much nicer. But whilst looks are very subjective, the N96 is still going to be the phone to go for - more memory, more features etc. Bring on the N96

• John says:
  June 15th, 2008 at 3:38 pm

  Yes Bring on the amazing N96 !

  I have the Nokia N95 8GB and iam not gonna update for this cheap feautres. I have 8 gig and its much more then what I need, as long as I know the front cam is better… and ofcurse the battery, in this phone she does her job great ( 6 hr’s) and in the N96 its a shitty battery enough only for 3 hours and 40 min’s.. suckssssssss….
  so generally its not convincing, N95 8GB is better. oh and ofcurse look and the N95 8 gig design, in my eyes its better then the N96.

  so in my eyes the N95 8 gig is way better..

  I do also use Nokia N95 8GB… the thing I have to tell about N95 N958GB and N96 is… N95 have very Good Features but Battery Life is Worse, the same is also with N96…. But in N95 8GB the Battery Life is Good enough to use the All Available Features

  Even Though We have More Features in N96, but the Battery is same as the Nokia N95 Battery, so let Nokia Shall Do something to Improve The Battery Life in N96.. Where it will be Very Comfortable to Use all the Available Features In Nokia N96…

  I have the 95 8g and i really really like the look of the n96,the screen,the shape,and size is really appealing

  but 3 and a half hours battery life dosnt seem worth it?although i have waited for this phone for a long time

  should i get it? i need more pull factors here?

• private says:

  i did read all ur comments as i am interested in buying a new cell I already own the N95 but i would gime my vote to the n96 as a result of what happened to my n95 buttoms all colors dissapeared nut to mention dat N96 looks more classic and much easier to be carried what facilitates my work on the other hand we dont have to forget about the battery but i guess that nothing is perfect

• nick says:

  The N96 dose not have a GPU,the N95 8g comes with a ati chip witch makes good use of the N-GAGE app.Also the side mounted speaker on the N96 isnt as loud or as crisp as the N95 8g….2 more reasons not to upgrade.

• mumu says:

  the N96 has a nice look and those who are supporting the phone for its features and dont know what it is, I tell you to stick with your N95 because it’s ####ing Awesome, otherwise if you care about the look, get the N96 but you’re wasting your money for nothing and doesnt worth it.

  frnds, another great draw back of n96 comparedto n95 8gb is that it does not support internet over wlan…!

  Currently i have the N95 which is awesome, except for the battery which last 1 day with average use, and only 2 hours when i use gps.

  I must say i like the new slick look, BUT i am dissapointed it is still very thick. If apple can make their iphone so thin, sure nokia has the resources to archieve this. Back in the day the N95 was a bit thick, but that was okay it was loaded with features. But now we are a few years later i might expect it to get a lot thinner.

  I am a bit dissapointed on this matter. Tnx for the pictures, nice article man!!

  the n95 is the best smartphone till now but the n95’s display has more resolution than n95 8GB’s and n96’s diaplays

  What about the 6220 classic?

  i get an upgrade at the end of the month and to be honest the N96 does look better however according to nokia its not out until october so is it worth the wait?

  whhat does anyone else think about this?

• KHUSH says:
  August 25th, 2008 at 10:49 am

  N96 PRICE IS VERY HIGHER, I THINK THEY HAVE TO REDUSE THEIR PRICE,BECAUSE IN RATE OF 35000 SOMEONE CAN BUY A.C OR T.V WHICH HAVE LONGER LIFE BUT IN CASE OF MOBILE TECH COMES EVERY DAY SO NO 1 STICK WITH ONE MOBILE SO ACCORDING TO MASS POPULATION OR PEOPLE ITS PRICE MUST BE BETWEEN 25000-28000RS ABOVE THIS ITS VERY EXPENSIVE AND ONE WILL THINK 100 TIMES BEFORE TO BUY N96.

• Dan says:
  August 25th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
