Isn't it? The X1 is a high-end multimedia devide. The N96 is err... a high-end multimedia device. I mean, high-end has gone quite a big higher with the X1, so basically N96 is now just a middle-end phone, to compete with iPhone and the likes.

It almost feels sad for Nokia, such a bad timing...]]>Feb 11th 2008 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/
Anyway both this and the X1 are pretty sexy. This year will be so difficult for my wallet.]]>Feb 11th 2008 5:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Let's not forget that the X1 isn't slated for release until H2 2008 (the same time as Nokia's touch UI phones). Based on Sony Ericsson's previous track record, that means it'll probably be released some time in 2009.

The N96 will be high-end for at least 6 months after release.]]>Feb 11th 2008 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 4:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/
Not only physically (the slide doesn't "click") but the additional RAM make moving from ap to ap very quick- nearly instantaneous.

The X1 looks good, but the N95 looks more like a traditional phone- which is what I learn towards.

5mp is quite a enough for a camera. People have generally come to the conclusion that point and click about right at 5mp.]]>Feb 11th 2008 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/May 4th 2008 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 4:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Apr 20th 2008 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/LED instead of Xenon = @#$)%*!!!!! Damn!!! Or else this'd be such a great phone

Also, what's up with the music control? Why don't they make the game keys act as music controls as well? This is stupid...

I don't get Nokia recently. Their new phones are great spec-wise, but suffers so many design-flaws, like the stupid loudspeaker placement on my N82.]]>Feb 11th 2008 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Well of course in my dreams i was hoping that they would introduce first s60 ts device, but seems theres still long wait =(]]>Feb 11th 2008 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 5:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 6:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showpost.php?p=670345&postcount=23]]>Feb 11th 2008 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/

The iphone is TWICE as expensive]]>Feb 11th 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 11th 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/The good thing for me(and I think many n95 users worrying that their phone would be outdated) is that I don't see any reason to upgrade because DVB-H is just marketing crap I think(At least for my country-Greece), at least for a year or two! And 16+8 gigabyte of memory is too much. As much as I have tried, I can't replace my ipod for music(due to battery and ease of usage in more than 500 tracks) therefore 8Gb is enough(I currently use: 2Gb on maps,500 Mb on songs, 2 Gb on clips and about 300 on photos and apps)
And I hope that the rumors for the 950 capacity battery are not true because if they are trust me don't even bother waiting because you will get a big dissapointment only followed by frustration when the n96i with larger battery will come out.

And a final thanx to sonyericsson for the X1. P-series made nokia think harder and create great devices. I hope the X1 will force nokia to bring an S60 touch device a few months earlier to us]]>Feb 11th 2008 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Feb 27th 2008 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/TOTALLY AGREE!
why no xenon? why nokia? why?
one big caveat that i think we should realize before we really complain about LED instead of xenon is - maybe just maybe the 2 LEDs do as good of a job as a xenon?]]>Mar 5th 2008 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Apr 7th 2008 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/Apr 22nd 2008 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/the-nokia-n96-redefines-high-end/May 9th 2008 4:35PM
