Anyway, I'm going for SE's C905.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/
I recently went from SE K800i to Nokia N76 coz a relative of mine moved on to bigger and better Nokias... It's a better music player IMO, especially with my new 8GB microsdhc card and 3.5mm jack, although the SE interface is slightly simpler and slicker, and camera is much nicer]]>Sep 3rd 2008 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/

I have an N76 too. How do you like it? I'm getting sick of it and would love to replace it with something else - even an N96 - but I'm with T-mobile and need something compatible with its upcoming 3G bands.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/

Neither has a good enough screen - is there some limitation in Symbian s60 that restricts devices to QVGA ? - if so thats it for me and Symbian. ]]>Sep 3rd 2008 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Who would go for the N96 over the INNOV8, seriously?]]>Sep 3rd 2008 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 8:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/i.e faster than a tomtom unit.

Low-res
Non-touchable
Way overpriced.

But again the double slider is great for GBA/SNES gaming.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/]]>Sep 3rd 2008 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/
By far best 5mpx phone packet in the market currently is N85 that have had great reviews and actually packs better hardware and soft is more polished.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/Sep 3rd 2008 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/N85 got biggest AMOLED screen ever used in a mobile phone and the screen wins N96's hands down(exept the size 2.6 vs 2.8).
N85 actually got better chipset in it and more mature than N96(http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum/showthread.php?p=389881). N85 is smaller every way and got better build quality.

N85 got 1200 mAh battery while N96 got 950 mAh and N85's AMOLED screen is supposed to save 30% of battery life compared to LCD.
And N85 does all this while it's actually lots of cheaper. So at least for me buying N96 over N85 if you dont need that DVB-H seems silly.

See what I did? I copypasted with my crap Nokia, try it with your iPhone.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/nokias-n96-now-shipping-finally/To be fair Nokia is missing flagship currently and for the next "N95" kind of super phone we are supposed to wait till 2009 February(that will have S60 5th edition).
Thought that many of here dont seem to get is that phones like N85 offers something that competiton dosent really have anything to say and here in Europe/Asia these WM slide out qwerty phones dont sell while S60 keypad smart phones and Samsung, SE feature phones are the expensive phones that sell. After all Europe and Asia is Nokia's markets where it sells, not NA.

Mobile-Review had good write up for this http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2008/nokia-n85-n79-en.shtml
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the N85 will become of the market leaders and won't give up this position for a very long while. In fact, 2009 will be the year of the N85, for no other company can offer anything even remotely close to this mobile powerhouse." Eldar

After many years I'm gonna divorce from Nokia.
Next month here in Scandinavia will be available the Samsung Omnia and the HTC Dream; and before Xmas the Sony/Erickson X1 experia will show up too; and I'm definitely gonna buy the first one of those to become available.
That is unless the fabled Nokia "Tube" comes out to change my plans, but it seems that sitting on its laurels Nokia has got out of sync with the edge tech of cell phone market.
I'm surely sorry after all those years together...
