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...
Well this does have 16GB AND microSD card slot plus DVB-H and 5Mp camera. The X1 has a much higher resolution screen. My preference has always been WinMob, but I have grown to like S60 as well.
Anyway both this and the X1 are pretty sexy. This year will be so difficult for my wallet.
@Ricardo 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.
I think I may have to agree with you. I mean, QVGA? Come on, that is not going to cut it for a device like this! This needs to get a higher resolution in there ASAP. The screen is 2.8 inches, it can definately handle more pixels.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
'Tis good, but I think the X1 is a bit better.
Well this isnt exatly fighting for the same customers.
Hopefully we get some info about the coming s60 ts device.

The computer is better than X1. The N96 is better than the computer because you can put it in your pocket. Ergo, this is better than the X1.
Mn... I always thought they would put in a 8MP camera instead but I'm not complaining if they added in a headphone jack.
It has a headphone jack and so does the N95
