Nokia N96 review - about as good as it looks
By Will Park on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 1:14 PM PST In Devices, Nokia, Symbian
The Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N96 has been highly anticipated as the Nokia N95 successor and new heir to the Nseries throne. With that sexy, glossy-black finish, under-lit keys, mobile TV, and fantastic optics, the Nokia N96 is the new king-of-the-ring when it comes to Espoos Nseries lineup.
We’ve already seen the Nokia N96 from all angles and subjective perspectives. For some, the addition of mobile TV and a refreshed design aesthetic isn’t enough to justify the jump from the Nokia N95. For others, the sleek new look combined with the improved build-quality and more precise sliding mechanism is enough to upgrade to the Nokia N96.
But, that doesn’t mean we can’t stand to see more Nokia N96 reviews. AllAboutSymbian has posted an “first impressions” review of the Nokia N96 that lauds the newly-minted Nseries flagship as having good build quality (as I mentioned from my hands-on time with the N96), solid slide mechanism, and affinity for fingerprints.
The camera shutter button was noted as being a bit stiff, although that’s more likely a personal perspective. I found the pre-production unit to have a well-balanced shutter button.
And, as expected from the Carl Zeiss optics used in the Nokia N96’s camera, the picture quality is top-notch (as you can see from the sample picture to the left).

Of all the N series, I like N96 better because of its versatility and storage. However, it requires careful handling because once it fell off, the hearing device is very fragile. I wish Nokia could improve on that.
How can I find out which is good. N96 From China or N96 From Finland. Well, what i’ve heard that if the Nokia N96 made in China its not good and if made in Finland its awsome. Please provide me some tips about Nokia N96
I just want to buy the N96

Nice gadget, simple, and elegant… price & feature well matched
i like all the Nokia product specially the N series 95 or 96.what is market price.
Well i bought the N96 coupla months ago and i’d rather suggest to get a new blackberry than getting an N96 because of its multiple software problem: the camera stopped workin at all, beside the freezing screen and the automatic restarts.. it didnt work properly…
guyz dont do my mistake..
