The iPhone 3G dose not have anything on the N96(ok the touch screen)but that’s it. The cost of the N96 is through the roof. I would have like to see at least a 7.1MP Camera for that price and better battery life.

However this mini PC is second to none right now! and when sprint rolls out its 4G WiMAX network along with Nokia’s upgraded hand helds apple fans this will eat your hearts out. The best is yet to come

Nokia is going great in mobile industry, there are all that function that we need in a phone. Nokia N96 is one that will really satisfy the demand of the mobile-bomb in the market. There has all the latest technology in it. Nokia N96 really rock.

I thought it would be a lot better then there N95 8Gb but i see the only thing that they really changed is the look and that its 16Gb. So really there just charging another 200-300$ more just for the memory, and the look……..imma still going to probs save up and buy it cuz thats the way i roll. I must have the best even though its not that much better.

K, there is no way in the world you could get me to pay $870 for a new phone. That is just ridiculous! Theres no way i can see myself paying over $400 for a phone.

Two completely different handsets aimed at completely different markets for completely different functions.

The N95/N96 falls on its face with respect to what the iPhone does well (UI, web-browsing, text messaging, email.. essentially consumption-based features).

The iPhone falls flat with respect to what the N95.N96 does well (image capture, multimedia output… essentially production-based features)

I think Nokia does respect the iPhone 3G. Apple really showed the world that a touchscreen-based UI and handset design really is the future. That’s why Nokia is working on the S60 Touch UI and their touch-based handsets like the Tube. I think Nokia fears what the iPhone represents in terms of their traditional market, but I’m not sure they fear being over-taken by a single handset.

Yup, when this launches, it’ll be off the hook!

But until then, the Nokia N96 is a sexy, sexy handset indeed. It is the flagship, but only until the next flagship succeeds it

@Tolik P

Forget the N96 dude, remember that nokia is working on a new cam phone and samsung should be releasing their 8 Megapixel censor to product engineers anytime now.

The N96 just doesn’t really bring anything new to the table.

… I was expecting much more Nokia

N96 = Flagship?

$870 for a phone is just pushing it! im no apple fan but 200 sounds a whole lot better (even though its nowhere near to n96 tech wise). ill wait half a year till it cools off to $500 or less then ill buy.
