Nokia N96 mobile phone review

Comments

• When I saw the announcement of the N96 several months ago, I thought very nice too. FFwd to Oct 2008, with the imminent release of the "cheaper" N85 (similar plus USB charging, OLED display) and the not so far away 5800 touchscreen device (cheaper without ""), I see little reason to be interested in the N96 (and even less so since the poor accounts of iPlayer playback).

• The BBC iplayer will work over 3G/HSDPA on the 3 Network in the UK and Wi-Fi, i just think the handset looks ugly N85 anyone...i cant believe that this is Nokia's Flagship N series phone the resolution is the same as the N95 8GB the screen is the same size and so is the camera i dont get it why would someone want this...what will you fill 16GB of memory with? This phone is 6 months too late. Posted by Christian , UK
• This phone makes no sense to me at all, the only difference is terrible build quality, which i seem to remember was the same with the slide panel on the N95, some firmware and bundled software updates, the BBCi player is a nice touch, other than that, same old bad flash, 5MP camera.
  
  For the price, id expect some sort of upgrade, not just a different colour and some new software. Posted by J_Harvey, United States
