  40. markn says:

    The Nokia N96 has a pretty hefty reputation to live up to. The N95 was a true powerhouse, and the finest converged device of its time.

  41. sherry says:

    The N96 does feature more streamlined design, even over the improved N95 8GB model. The edges are smooth and the corners rounded, and external keys and control protrude only slightly.

  42. Jordon says:

    The N96 has everything a gadgeteer could want, including vast amounts of memory, a good camera, great video playback quality and built-in GPS.

  43. coolsal says:

    On the whole we are impressed with the N96. It offers noteworthy upgrades to its forerunner, such as the DVB-H tuner (not usable in the States) and 16GB of internal memory with further expansion, and the design is also greatly refined.

  44. Raul says:

    Just got the N96 Yesterday an was sourly disappointed, my previous phones is the 6300 and in comparison the N96 feels very very plastic, the 6300 has many batter functions for example you can have a security cod eon the key lock, u can copy an paste things in the calendar, very useful if you see similar clients each week.When your tying to select a name to text on the N96 it has a very long way of going about it. I am seriously considering going back to my 6300 and abandoning the N96, not a happy bunny.

  45. grammy says:

    You will never lose your directions while traveling as the Nokia N96 comes along with AGPS and Nokia Maps, it offers the maps of 8 Indian cities. All you need to do is activate the 3 months India Navigation License.

  46. moin says:

    i want to know the latest prize of N-96 ?

  47. radhika says:

    i like this phone very………………………………………………much.

  48. SK BHARDWAJ says:

    I have never purchased such a bad stuff in my life before. This is the worst purchase so far. Nokia N 96 was purchased nearly three months back. The handset hanged thrice and its cursor mal-functioned four times during this period. It was repaired and ultimately sent back to the company nearly 15 days back for replacement, which has not been received so far.
