Nokia N96

...foothold. I'm unsure whether Nokia intended this to be a multmedia phone, but from the dual way slider, kickstand and stereo speakers, it certainly gives that impression. It's a shame then that the music player isn't that great. It has visualisations, album art and most of the basics you would expect. Unfortunately, the audio quality through the speakers is appalling. Way below standards of most other mobiles out there, even those that are almost ...
...if you're not a regular Nokia user. As with most mobiles, the N96 comes with Nokia's mobile phone software. I run Vista, which the software apparently supports. Unfortunately, I've had nothing but problems whilst trying to use it. These range from the handset not going into mass storage mode whilst connected to USB, to the software simply saying that no handset is connected (despite the handset saying otherwise). Next, the battery life. Well, it's ...

Review of Nokia N96

...the same, mini power connector Nokia have used for a long while now, which is nice. I like that Nokia have avoided temptation to change the proprietary power connector every generation like so many of it's competitors do. * A wired headset microphone/remote and headphones - the headset is quite nice, with a standard 3.5mm jack plug on it. The microphone and headphones are separate from each other meaning that you can use better quality earphones ...
...to look at than many Nokia smart-phones of the past. It has more rounded edges and a better quality finish than most of the rest of the line, with a high gloss black front and back. The buttons too are black, shiny and look and feel very good. The phone features some silver trim and a silver finish around the side. All in all, it is a classy looking phone, a few major, and minor drawbacks. Like all high-gloss devices, it is a fingerprint magnet, ...

Review of Nokia N96

==Nokia N96 - A True Power House== N96 , Another beast from the mobile Gaints Nokia. This phone truly is a powerhouse, packed with wide range of features to explore with. Here i would like to share my experience with this _'''Lovely Beast'''_ ===My Experience=== First to start with, the slide is very smooth and is not jerky after sometime of use as in N95. Also Huge Memery (Mass Memory) 16 GB is inbuilt and it also supports Micro SD card (SDHC ...
...and i till now i experience no lag in phone speed. It is as good as it was when i bought it. Dedicated music keys on front panel when the phone is used in portrait mode is a good idea. I was easily able to navigate the phone and the keys are very pleasurable to use. My fingers pained when i messaged for 20 minutes in my N95 but in this phone its not the case, they fell like "Touch sensitive" keypads. Mobile TV receiver performs very well. Channel ...

Review of Nokia N96

...Nokia's latest products is the Nokia N96 phone with revoloutionising technology and features. I have recently purchased one of these fine gadgets on a T-mobile network contract; the phone was free and the montly cost was £40, for this I got 1000 minutes and unlimited texts which was easily sufficient for my day to day use. Being a person not wanting to waste my money and sign up for a contract where I would be regretting it a few months down the ...
...But to summerise, the new Nokia N96 is a great phone and considering the pros and cons of it, I would definately consider it to be one of the best phones out and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sleek and stylish but high performing mobile device! ...

Review of Nokia N96

...sleeker than both the original Nokia n95 and the n95 8GB. This is in part due to the removal of the camera slider which was present on the n95 and it is also using the same battery as the original n95 (950MhA). This could be seen as a disadvantage considering the awful battery life of the original n95, this problem was somewhat addressed by Nokia with the release of the n95 8GB which included a higher capacity battery (1200MhA). However Nokia have ...
...in landscape mode. This time Nokia have realised this by the inclusion of a "kick stand" on the back of the phone positioned under the camera. This acts as a stand so the phone can be angled at viewing pleasure when it is placed upon a surface. The camera itself is the same from the n95 and n95 8GB and like the n95 8GB this does not contain a slider for extra protection. Nokia have now included dual LEDs for flash photography but I personally would ...

Review of Nokia N96

Having always been a loyal Nokia supporter, I didn't think twice before choosing the Nokia N96 as my new mobile companion. My previous phone was a Nokia N82, which served me well until I took it swimming in the ocean. The only gripes that I had with my N82 were the stability of the firmware and the standby time. The firmware of my N82 would crash bi-weekly and the standby time didn't exceed 2 days. Having read several positive reviews about the N96, ...
...and less responsive than my Nokia N82. The multitude of features, including the 16GB of storage, the 2.8 inch display, the 5MP camera and the built in TV tuner, all dissuaded me from taking the phone back to the store and swapping it for another device. After a week or so, I found the Nokia software update manager and proceeded to update my firmware to the then latest version. After several minutes my phone rebooted and the performance increase was ...

...offer than most other conventional Nokia phones and this is reflected in the price when bought. The additional features include easy internet browsing, wi-fi link up, large 8gb memory, easy to use music player as well as a BBC iplayer program already loaded on the phone. The battery life is good in my opinion and like all nokias, give you plenty of warning and juice when you reach in the infamous 1 bar. The screen and image quailty of the camera ...
...i find no reason why Nokia complicate things and retain the dual slide capabilities. After all this is a phone principally and not a multimedia player. When slid the opposite way the screen flips sideways. This is really annoying when you slide back to the conventional upright keypad the screen can take up to 8 seconds to adjust back. In addition when the phone is in your pocket you find yourself constantly and accidently may i add sliding the phone ...

Review of Nokia N96

...After being a loyal Nokia girl for many years, I was very excited when this phone came on the market, particularly having previously had the N95 and loved it! What a let down - this phone is just awful. It is so flimsy, I don't know how they have the gall to charge such a huge price for it. It looks and feels cheap and nasty. It doesn't look, feel, or function anywhere near as good as the N95. I've had repeated problems with the phone completely ...
...to the flexibility of the very flimsy, thin plastic back/battery cover. It is so bendy and flexible, that is doesn't sufficiently hold the battery in place, and it has a tendency to shift from the contact and therefore lose power. When the battery actually stays in place long enough for the phone to be used, the battery life itself is absolutely dire! Even with just 'normal' day-to-day use, I need to recharge this phone every day. I had high hopes ...

Review of Nokia N96

I was extremelly pleased when i received this phone, i got a great deal on a contract and the phone is brilliant it does much more than just your basic phone. You can browse the internet with ease and locate web pages simply. You can make calls with ease and text messaging is so simple. You can also use the N96 as a business phone as has all Office applicaitons. I thought the N96 would be confusing and hard to understand but like Nokia's its a breeze. ...
...on the opposite end to go through you music or even pictures easily. Video Centre to record all thoe memorable moments and play them back. You can even watch Tv on the N96 as has an integrated stand at the back of the phone neatly built in around the camera lense. Fantastic 5mp picture quality and even corrects the photo if slighly blurry. Great buy and you won't be disappointed. ...

Review of Nokia N96

Having previously owned a Nokia n95 I was only to pleased to be upgraded to the Nokia n96. After owning this phone for about two weeks now I have very mixed feelings about this phone. The build quality certainly is there, although it's a shame that the front plate is plastic apposed to metal on the n95. The screen quality is outstanding its by far the best I have ever seen on a mobile phone. The phone has a sliding front face as on the n95. The ...
...if you have owned a Nokia phone previous. The map application is far better then the old map application on the n95, its faster connection and visually look better. The internet is quit good on this phone and dose not take along time to connect. The n96 has a BBC I player application on it which lets you download BBC programs straight to your phone and play the videos back off line which is a really cool touch for people on the move. With 16gig memory ...

Review of Nokia N96

...phone is it's design. Unline nokia n95, it's design is not edgy. It's curvy and looks sophesticated. The screen looks to be finger-print-free unless you use oily hands. It has a wonderful feature of synchronize data like contacts, messages, calendar entries, gallery data with your previous nokia phone..precisely, previous nokia compatible phones. In all my previous phones, there was no such synchronizing facility so I had to manually copy contacts ...

The disliked part about this phone is that sometimes it goes on silent even on general mode. I faced this problem once and am still unable to determine it's cause and not able to reproduce the problem, which is weird. It has got virtually no games. Tetris is also charged. The cost pf phone ...
