Nokia N96 - User Reviews

  • I bought one of those when it launched. It was a very good device, but unfortunately did not beat the N95. The N96 had no 3D GPU, so its performance in graphics applications, even maps, was horrible compared to the previous one.

  • one of the best phone and still have this thing , even the menu button is almost dead but overall performance is still gud, i usually uses this on travel because the it capacity power that can stay on music almost 2 day .

  • Needless to say anything! iPhone came out on 8GB model, with a really bad camera and no video option, while this N96 already has a 16GB internal storage (with 32GB expansion) and films in 480p

  • Me too!

  • 4 days battery life... That was unbelievable

  • This phone reminds me of the Commodore 128 and Apple III, especially when compared to the Nokia N95, Commodore 64 and Apple II.

  • yes using it I am still using it

  • I still say this is a best phone in 2018. Any doubt?

  • That pixel density O.O

  • duh? Did you think the difference between RAM and the built-in memory?

  • The problem with Nokia in general is their RAM.. look at this phone for example.. they gave it 16GB of memory and only 128MB of RAM.. that reallly suck! so how can you enjoy the phone? which mean you ain't gonna be able to download more Apps. b'cos if you do the phone will start to cry 'memory full' .. I think nokia sbould give their phone Large RAM that makes the usage of the phone interesting.....

  • it is a cool gadget however more attention is needed in mantaining it.

  • whew mr jack and mr johnson almost have the same opinion it seems that it came from just one person using diff ip address.

  • huh? Did you see the RAM of Nokia N96? It has only 128MB RAM. The RAM is hardware and can't be increase.

  • I just love it,it has the second largest memory (16 GB) in the N-series. Its only second to Nokia N97. It has nice multimedia capabilities and people just admire it. It has flaws but it just comes down to preference and choice.

  • I love this phone and it has currently the second highest memory (16 GB) after Nokia N97 in the N-series Nice multimedia capabilities Its a sure head turner and people just admire it Sure it has its flaws but sometimes it comes down to preference.

  • If you are using 3G Use 2G network it will consume less battery then 3g. Keep your phone in power saving mode. and check whether it has network problem if less network is showing then call to service provider and make complaint of it. it's also is root cause of battery consumption

  • Menu -> Setting -> Phone-> Network -> Select Network Mode to UMTS Please Check network on home screen it will show network with 3g if not then call your network provider and ask them to enable 3g service which is free.

  • the best mobile phone ever made from nokia

  • Oh really, nokia is the king of all innovation in mobile.. They don't copy anything.. Other OEMs copy them..

  • my n95 8gb does not switch on

  • @Steve ...., if you want to get all the songs back, please do a hard reset *#7370# , and then enter in music player and it will refresh by itself. Same prob on n95 8gb

  • Nokia are copycats, features like RDS f.m radio,voice dial,e.t.c. Are trademark of sony ericsson. Y can't u come up with ur own idea? U people are not talented.

  • Yes.. I jz bought a N85.. It supports watsapp and line.. but i think kaokao talk cant be used..

  • does it use whatsapp

  • ask d 2 download latest version 30.101 2 flash it

  • One thing that everyone should note is that N96 is a very unique brand, u can't compare it with any other nokia phone cos the live TV is in built, I mean it was designed with an in built antenna, I have a HTC one x but I still went to buy this phone a week ago just cos of the live it, I don't need to attach any drifter or download anything to watch Dstv on this phone and even better the V12.043 of the phone apart from the normal reminder it also has a replay and record function for the live TV so you can't miss your favourite programmes simply put, aside from the fact that Nokia was very stingy when thay made this phone, still there is nothing like Nokia N96

  • Is obviously that people doesn't know that Nokia N96 is in two type, And when they buy the fake ones they will express dissatisfaction..i have gotten this fake one befor and it has almost everything just like the real one: 16Gb, 5.0 mp cameral, dstv, tv out cable,..it will be had for you to notice if you are not into phone business, i will give just two tip for you to know the original one 1: check the software version, it must be 11.043 or 12.043 or 10.043 but the fake is always 30.0000 or 32. Any Nokia N96 software version that starts with 30,29,32 or 33 is fake, i mean ''software version'' not the software version date or custom versio, and the manufacture date must be 2008 not 2010 or 2009, 2011.. For more infor call +2348184016480 or facebook: [email protected]

  • i used both n96 and n86..though the n96 has 16 gb internal memory,larger keypad and gorgious look, i thik the n86 is bettar than the n96..becoz n86 has 8mp cam with a cover, a bettar battery 1200mah,a faster processor and a different look..but the n96 has a lower cam 5mp,a low duty 900mah and there is no cam lens cover....n86 is the best...

  • I have discovered some secrete that make nokia N96 battery to run down quickly,they are:1 when the 3G network is on,2 viberating when ringing,3 slide sound,4Running application.5 when your bluetooth is on. To solve this problem,change your network from 3G or dual mode to GSM network because 3G network draw a lot of power from battery to carry up its activity.2 remove from viberation.3 off the sound of the slide.4 always check your menu if there is any running application.5 Always off your bluetooth.By doing so,your battery will last longer.

  • If you have a problem about the software update, do not worry. Simply press the menu button for about 2 seconds. You will see a menu appearing. There you will see 2 installer icons.(2 blue colour icons). Select one of them. You will notice that the normal standby mode appears. Then press the red button.(call disconecting button). Again press the menu button and do the same thing to the other blue icon too. Then no software problems will be found. Hope this will help.

  • Nokia n96 is more than just a smart phone. It's not simply because of it's design, but also it's performance and features. You can simply update your n96 via internet to really understand me. The dual core processor is awesome with this update. It's blisteringly fast. Battery lasts more than 24 hours, if you work moderately. Average life is 22 hrs. So I may define the N96 as one of the BEST phones for day today use.

  • Nokia N96 is good phone for me

  • do you update your device? its wrong you dont have to update it. because v30 of N96 software has problem. you must reset all data and previous version by this code: *#7370# maybe the problem solved.

  • I have a problem with nokia n96, my phone resets itself. 30 033 has a software update. if they can somehow solve this problem?

  • I'm not agree with my friends here. becouse I have N96 about 6-7 month and Im very pleased of it. n.gage games of that is great!

  • true. The Update is a disaster. Not important anymore as it's obsolete. I hope nokia create a new improved t9 slide phone with competitive quality specs. Make it bigger screen and thinner. Both touch and with the most useful t9 keypad. Don't eliminate the joystick. The music control is stupid and redundant since already got extra push down multi media control, and make the t9 keypad easy for human standard thumbs. ↲i hope the next strike out model be named as Nokia n96 salute as a respect for nokia symbian lovers. Don't have to be complicated or too fancy. Symbian is still a very good system for me.

  • the worst thing to do on your n96 is to upgrade it. Upgrade it will destroy yovr phone and it can't be repair or downgrade

  • Most N96 with V30.033 software version sucks. Phone restart itself and is a big problem for all users. Lock at this on every forum. Too many software problem in this phone. Realy dissapointed...may be nokia made an software update quicly.

  • i updated my n96, and it showed update complete. But my camera stopped workin after dat. What might b the cause

  • u can watch free tv channels on n96 only while using Wi-Fi, anyway in case u dont know about an app called FRING, u can download it to ur mobile phone (compatible with most of the smartphones) and make an account, and so u can make a free video call over the wi-fi with people who use the same app..i tried it, works better the skype on pc

  • as i tested, n96 camera is better than both, the n95, and the n95 8gb camera..but the only bad thing about the n96 is the slow processor, a tip for u, dont install programs like netqin anti-virus, or it will make ur mobile boot slowly..

  • uhm, i dont agree with u, well, in my family, we've got 2 n95, and 2 n96, and to say the truth, all of their batteries are awesome, we only need to charge them once every 2 days, anyway those batteries were bought from telecommunications companies, we've got 3 batteries from ORANGE, and 1 from another company and yes, dont connect ur n95/n96 to the pc without a charger, i mean, today i connected my n95 to the pc, and restarted it while it was connected, suddenly, half of the battery is empty while it was fully-charged a min before.....

  • hello,anyone plz tell me n96 is better or n95 8gb in camera ,sound etc?????

  • great phone bt n96 n n95 hav poor battery standby...

  • from where watch free tv channel?? i turn on tv channel and say me nopt have tv channel why?

  • Pls i don't know how to activate my TV

  • how can i upgrade

  • pls is n gage available on n96 and after getting the latest update how do i watch the tv.pls help me

  • nokia n96 hangs because it has a very large input memory and arm 9 dual processor which is not sufficient at this memory.so to avoid hanging try nt to store a lot of data into it and also work on single app at a time and when u r finished properly exit it this increases phone performance.

  • I lov the phone is a nice phone,especially DVH mobile tv.

  • Man, made by nokia means that it is made in China. If it is made in Finland or Hungary, u will see, 'Made in Finland/ Hungary' printed on the space when u remove the battery. But remember, that doesn't mean that 'Made by nokia' phones are bad. They are gud. But the quality is slightly less than when compared to Finland or other country products.

If you watch the pics on the devices screens you might be deceived because of higher resolution displays of the latter phone, so you have to zoom the pics to see which one have more details of the objects taken or transfer all the pics to a computer and compare them on the same computer and you will be surprise that Nokia N96 pics are superior than Samsung Galaxy SII and Iphone 4s pics.

  • i want to buy this phone this is realy have a great performance

  • your phone is broke repair it

  • To "i hate nokia 96" - its not a garbage. Upgrade your firmware. Nokia's firmwares always have a performance upgrade. Or its ur firmware that is too buggy.

  • it,s very nice 4 internet and music,chating,double cameras,battery timing,internal 16 gb memory i realy like this phone try it

  • 3rd class mobile.cant even compare this mobile to the low budget nokia 1100.Nokia is making the customer fool by launching this mobile.Hangs every few minutes.Hopeless battery life.Theres nothing positive in trhis phone.

  • WARNING TO ALL WANTING TO BUY THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE: If you don't mind a slow phone, that reboots every few hours, takes 10 minutes to open a single SMS, regularly crashes when playing a simple game like tetris, does not open the camera application unless you reboot your phone manually then this phone is for you, otherwise stay the HELL AWAY FROM THIS PHONE. Just a friendly warning, do with it as you please, as for me, I'll never ever return to Nokia EVER again regardless of what they offer.

  • no you can also use it as a camera u just go to options while in the camera and choose 'secondary camera'

  • Its Nice Phone And Value For Money.

  • Hi viewers, for those who want to buy Nokia N96, let me give one piece of advises...Don't Ever Buy This phone. The battery is the worst and get hang multiple times, this is from hands-on.

  • i have nokia n96 mobile after using sometimes my camera not working when i open camera it appear camera feature not suppored . application error H W -44 how can i solve it

  • It's a decent phone....good camera and video,good audio quality.....It's reasonably fast, but yes.....you could have hanging and restarts sometimes.....to get the best out of it and minimise the risk of those problemes appearing,be sure to update it to the latest Nokia firmware and install a task manager to close the running apps,because it hasn't got to much RAM. Also,because of it's mediocre quality plastic it can easily get scratched.Good luck!

  • you tube works great in this handset till date

  • Well im using this phone for over half a year. And true its has a poor speed. But once you update its firmware to latest, you can really know the difference. Updating is essential. Also you need some right application to make it faster. Try ramblow application. And battery extender for extra batt life span.

  • 360 degree feedback

  • Nokia N96 is still a master - class device. Amazon sells it $709 which shows how precious the phone is after 3 years in the market, it cost more than most phones in the world. Nokia N96 is truely the King of mobile devices because it has the finest technologies.

  • why do u think n95 is bertter than n96? Is it bcos of the battery or processor? Think about the DVB-H and 16gb in the n96 feature. And u can get a spear of the battery if u want to. I think the n96 is more entertaining and educative bcos of the live TV broadcast.

  • n96 with 32gb of internal storage - does this unit exist?

  • This phone work well for my use. Its more than just a phone.

  • This is a good phone. I overclocked my phone to 400mhz proc and it rocks. 1 of the fastest phone ever use. Camera has quality and sounds are superb. This phone is better the new ones today.

  • Well this phone still rocks. Ive been using this for 3yrs and still in good condition. N96 is way better on my qwerty e72. Nokia create a quality phone for my daily use. Also sound of this phone is better on 5800XM. Or you just need to check the quality.

  • how can i update my n96?it's very slow now.please help me soon.

  • i need 2 know if i can recover my data if i 4got my pasward

  • hi, earlier i had an N96, when i tried to update the software version online it sucessfully got updated, but alas after that the camera died, applications began to crawl!!!!!!, whenever i tried to open camera application the phone simply hangs up.....

  • This phone is no longer produced,but you can still buy it online,or maybe some some shops in your country still have it on stock. Since it's a pretty old model,I don't think it's worth paying more then 150-170� for a new one or 100� for a SH. There is a wide variety of much more advanced mobiles available on the market in the 250-300� price bracket,compared with them the N96 is obselete.

  • Please how can i update my nokia n96?

  • Hi all, I am thinking of buying this phone, but what is the average price I should be paying for it? And how much did you buy it for? Thanks.

  • n95 is good mobile set.

  • Pros-good quality pictures and video,music qualty,large internal memory,Dvb tunner Cons-not so fast for browsing,poor quality plastic. Overall,it's a pretty good phone,and if you found it at a good price buy it!

  • It's very nice phone, but it's a little bit slowly

  • shud i buy this cell

  • my camera is showing blurry images what can i do.?

  • i like this fone....but the sound is not too loud.

  • is it possible to install apps. such as opera skype javasoftware?

  • I don't agree with the statement that the phone can play music for 14 hours. I have this phone and I get maybe about 5 to 6 hours of music play.

  • I placed clear tape on the top and under sides of the flex cable so that it do not break. I then place a small amount of vaseline on the tape to allow smooth gliding of the flex cable. I hope the phone last me longer as a result. Had mine 4 2 years now.

  • it is a feature of this phone, when the slider is moved down the call is cut. the phone is functioning normal.

  • i was using nokia n95 8gb before my n95 8gb had 3D Graphics and nice HD game like Asphalt 3&4 and NFS UNDERCOVER HD plus SPIDER MAN 3 movie And my n95 8gb used to last for 3 days though i played music,games&watch spider man 3 movie Now with my new n96 i am experiencing a lot of problems (1) my 1st problem is the battery that last for only 5hrs have to charge it twice a day (2) this doesnt configure my mtn-sa OTA e-mail setting it says format unknown when i ask for mtnloaded e-mail so now it means i dont have e-mail on my phone have to go to the internet to retrieve my e-mail inbox (3) this phone's keypads are so hard to press and the navi wheel doesnt operate well e.g when i want to scroll up it select or enter instead of scrolling up so everytime when i want to scroll up i let it auto-rotate then navigate to the other way round then auto-rotate it again and again (4) with my n95 8gb camera i used to take good pictures during the day&night but n96 fail to do that its like its got a VGA camera (5) keypad lights light the whole day no auto-sensor for on&off (6)video quality its bad unlike mp4 dvd like quality in n95 8gb i hate this phone i am thinking about to buy another n95 8gb or n900 next month

  • hey guys my n96 working properly.but i have a big problem.i can't access to the internet with my n96.it never receving hsdpa(3g) signal.it only idintify gsm signals.please help me guys.im in big problum.what should i do now????

  • Pls does the dstv work with, if yes, how. Thanks

  • pls is it good for gaming and applications?

  • thank you so much to all of you. i will buy nokia n96. tanx a lot.

  • Capacitive touchscreem....it's very responsive,it can only be operated with your fingers(skin in general).....resistive....more difficult to operate with your fingers,but it has the advantage that it can be operated with a stylus,a pencil a nail or whatever...A capacitive touch is better...Haven't used 5800 so can't tell enything about it....N96 has a good quality of pictures and videos, large internal memory,pretty fast....The music quality is pretty good and loud....but keep in mind that 5800 is a dedicated music phone.....overall I think n96 is a good phone and if you can get it at a good price I think it's worth it!

  • maybe u and i are facing da same problem. I had to upgrade da fon to get da tv icon. Afta whch retrieving rights 4 da dstv has failed. I hav flashed da fon 4 so many tyms bt to no avail. I hav also bin to ma service providerz office and they couldnt help. Ma last chance is 4 me to visit da nokia care centre 2 knw ma fate. If they cnt help 2, den selin da fon wl be appropriate 4 me..

  • what you mean capacitive and ressesive touch?

  • The best is n86 about pics/videos. N86's audio features i think it's equal to n8. (I`ve both, n86 and n8)

  • to kimmy n96 is more preferable to 5800xm,in the sense that it comes with 16gb and can install 3rd party apps while 5800 is lacking in these areas

  • can you advice me what cellphone is good, is nokia n96 or nokia 5800xm? please response. thank you.

  • both the 5800XM and N96 has the same sound. if u want to view these videos and pics, I would recommend the 5800(because of the large screen), but if you want to capture pictures and videos, i would recommend the N96(the 5mega camera is muchhhhhhh better than the 3.15 mega of the 5800). and if you are looking for a phone with a touch screen go for the (Capacitive touch) and not for the (Resistive touch) Hope i was of any help

  • Well, this is a feature that u can control. GO TO: Tools==>Settings==>General==>Slide handling. and change it to the setting that you like

  • so n96 is not so loud? please can you compare nokia 96 and 5800xm? give me some advice, i want to buy cellphone it is either nokia n96 or 5800xm. i am music lover, i want a clear and loud songs, i want a clear picture and videos. please response. thanks...

  • pls my n96 cannot end calls wen i slide down but can accept calls wen i slide up. pls is dis a general feature or is mine faulty so i can know wat next to di. pls give me a reply tanks.

  • When i bought this mobile 2 years ago it was perfect, it had almost every thing i needed. but now 2 years later, I can't wait to change it. it became very laggy and it doesn't compare to new smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy SII. so here is my advice, IF you want to buy a phone that is good, reliable, and durable GET the N96 (I droped it at least fifty times in the street and once in the water and it still works fine. BUT if you wanna buy the best phone now, I will recommend the Galaxy SII. Don't hate my guys i'm only saying my opinion, I've always loved nokia, but now it's time to change it.

  • Its got 4 proccessors,dual normal proccessors plus aDSP audio chip and dedicated video proccessor with extended codec support.I am using a Mugen 1000mA battery and n79 battery fits in as well for 1200mA.I am using v30 firmware which gives n96 new lease of life and i find it good and fast.Video is smooth and clear and photos but sound is exceptional with it dedicated audio chip. We need nokia to bring out more n-series button smartfones please.I have had n96 2years with no problems just a new battery.

  • is nokia n96 finest and cleariest picture and video? i am also a music lover, is nokia n96 a gud quality sound? is it loud?

  • i cannot charge my n96,what is problem

  • the vodafone brand of nokia N96 does come with liive tv icon wish makes me not to watch any live tv programme, pls how can i download the icon? So that i can enjoy my favorite tv programme on the go.

  • If u want to buy a new phone here is the best advice #1 nokia N86 8mp (its the best) #2 nokia N96 16gb( not bad) #3 nokia N85

  • has anyone tried chargin their n96 with a usb cable....cause mine doesnt charge....i had a 5310music express that used to charge at work using usb cable...i wana know how come the n96 doesnt.....i know people will say use a charger but for times wen u forget 2 carry charger and there's only da usb that u can use; it would cum in handy...

  • Yes,the N96 is a pretty good phone.Not that fast,but with good picture,video sound quality not to mention it's storage capacity. During the time, opening and closing the phone might damage the slide,but this is a problem with all slide phones not only with the N96! It's build quality(the plastic used) is inferior to the one used in N95 for example,but it's acceptable! The N96 is not Nokia 1100 to survive every time you drop it! But it doesn't brake apart if it falles from, let's say....1 meter on the ground! I once dropped my N96 on the floor and nothing happened! But.....like many things in life it much depends on luck! So.....good luck with your N96!

  • i woud like to know if anyone who has downloaded a symtorrent for this phone that works and what web adress should i go to get it?

  • Your phone has a virus try installing a mobile antivirus or connect the phone to the pc via the usb cable and then wipe out all that is on the phone a virus comes by ways of bluetooth(from one phone to the other)or even installing apps that are not nokia approved so be careful

  • N96 is 4th edition symbian phone, highly modernized more than others...however, phones doesn't just contact virus, there must be a second party invitation. All you need to do is to zap the phone, may be there must be some hidden files.

  • This was my phone when I was in my 4th year high. This phone is almost perfect. With its 16gb internal memory, a high quality 5mp camera and the portable TV. Yes, sure you can watch programs here but it depends on ur area. I always watch 2 or 3 channels only because of my current site. But, I still enjoy it. I just lose interest because I'm looking for a new phone, a qwerty one. That's why I have now my Nokia E5. :) Almost the same specs!

  • Any one can tell me why my deleted button not work and my scroll key some time work and work time not work? Pl tell me if any friend here know. Thanks for your help if u can.

  • White lcd indicates phone not powering up properly, unplug charger and try power up BLACK lcd indicates lcd fault....

  • I can watch 16 free of cost DD channels in India like DD Sports,National,India,Bharti,Punjabi etc..... I can watch live cricket matches and worldcup is beginning next month.

  • DVB-H TV broadcast receiver* as long as u read this u can watch live tv

  • You don't have to ACTIVATE it!....There is the phone memory and 'Mass Memory' of 16GB (its actual size is 15.0GB though). You can see it in your File Manager or using PC Suit in PC. So as you can perform any action such as copy past, delete, move, rename etc. Hope this helped.

  • does it really have the tv receiver? can i watch tv using this phone??

  • i have used this phone for 2 months now its perfect phone. guys, how can i activate 16g internal memory?

  • Tools>wlan wizard. This is a widged installed from the factory,search it.....maybe the wi-fi works from there.

  • Nope, it does nothing when I press it on the home screen. That's why I'm wondering actually...

  • The wi-fi should start scanning as soon as you push the button-refreshing-displaying the wi-fi networks found(if there are)-start web browsing. That's the normal way. When you click the wi-fi in the home screen it doesn't start the search immediatly?

  • Yes u r right..if LCD is white its meas LCD is damaged and need to b changed.so change ur lcd, problem will b solved.

  • Symbian is well known for restarts and freezes. But in your case it takes far to long to restart. You might have a flex problem(a component that makes the connection between the base plate and display) . Go to a service shop or Nokia care.

  • OK i was having trouble with it that it stucked a lot and every time i had to restart. before it restarted quickly but then it took 5 mins (in these five minutes just the light of the hot it remains on no other light neither of the keyboard nor of the screen) to open the half hour then about 2 hours to on but now it dont wants to be on at all just the light of the hot it remains on no other light neither of the keyboard nor of the screen so plz help

  • The dvb tunner is an expensive technology. Samsung Galaxy S for Brazil can transmit digital tv in only Brazil. If you say Galaxy, there are about 6 types and if it sells 10 million, it is not a very strong sales. Nokia sells more high end or smartphones than any manufacturer. Most of the profits are from high end or smartphones. If Nokia N8 is not a good phone, then i don't know the phone you consider good. Wait for Nokia N8 sales figure and you will see why Nokia is still number 1. Nokia N96 is a best seller high end phone in 2008 for Nokia if you didn't know. Even if Symbian is leading Android with 1 phone margin, it is still number 1. You don't know anything about phones and technology. Get an English teacher to teach you how to spell and good grammar. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to everyone and may GOD continue protecting us.

  • Ya James you're really smart...I realise that...while reading your posts when you were praising the dvb-tunner like a parrot as if was something from deep space. I prove that n96 was not a succes for Nokia with numbers. But to understand that you have to have more then 2 neurons...that's not the case with you...as for the selles figures, Symbian is still first but it's lead is very slim. Just Google it, Nokia leads because of lower to middle end phones where the lead...Smartphones account for a relative small procentage,the majority of phones sold worldwide are lower to middle end phones! As for Galaxy...when Q4 selles figures will be released the 10 million target will most likely be achieved,especially with the Christmas holliday season. Since you're not a very bright boy i undurstand why you consider the N8 a very good phone....enyway that's it I waisted enough time with someone like you...

  • Hassan,during the time opening and closind a slide phone can damage the slide. This is not a problem specific to n96 but all slide phones. When you open it and close it hundreds of times, you realise the slide is going to warn-out eventually.

  • I don't know about the n81 but the speaker on the n96 is pretty good, loud and clear.

  • You can use a n95 8GB 1200Mah battery...it lasts longer then the one of n96...the phone will look a little bulkier but I think it's worth it. And if you can leave the battery charging for a few hours even if it shows it shows it's already full,it will last longer.

  • hi n96 users does it have any slide problem

  • Full featured phone, it will unleash its true capability with the right hands on how to use it. I am so lucky to have this one since jan2009. Never been repaired/damaged. Only problem is the battery life.

  • friends, help! whether there is a significant difference in strength between the speakerphone and N96 Nokia N81? thanks

  • A really nice feature rich phone considering it age & well worth buying if you can find one.

  • Lol. Gud point. Or nokia 1100

  • shame on n95.. Can't you people read? I mean, Hello! Gsmarena does have both fone's specs. Now..,if you're gonna go for the most unit sold.. please,help yourselves and have nokia 3210 instead!! Haha.. It's in the Specs. Man...

  • You are always confuse. Now you are admiting Nokia N96 is a best seller. Nokia N95 is the pacesetter of smartphone with stereo speakers, gps, 3g and 5 megapixel camera. There was less smartphones with such features so it had majority of the market. Nokia N96 was competing with Nokia N95, N95 8gig and touch screen phones because it didn't had any major feature just 16gig with dvb and it was very expensive so owners of N95 didn't see the need to upgrade, most people who wanted smartphone bought N95 because it was cheaper and some also bought touch screen phones like Nokia 5800 which was cheap. Nokia N96 is even still popular when discontinued than most smartphones.

  • features are gr8, 16 gig memory is very useful ,camera is nice music experiance is awesome

  • Just bought a second hand unit of this yesterday. So far the features are great. I can watch tv with it. Its camera is nice, but i already bought a special kind battery for n96 so its battery would last twice. Just to make sure.

  • wat happened betwen the two 4nes was and wil in the future always affect sale of 4nes. Millions bought the n95 and wen the n95 (8gig) ,millions bought it and then the the n96 came and with many nokia users in third world countries and already havin the two n95 who needed a new devies. May b only d few million. The thing is IF NOKIA N96 came b4 nokia n95 it wud had sold more than the latter. Just watch Nesux S v Sgs

  • thanx buddies. Seller im in South africa so im buying LOCAL..

  • this is nice phone good look and easy to use

  • A phone is a bestseller when it selses millions of units! The proof that n96 was not a worthy succesor of n95 is in the number of units sold,where n96 is far below the n95! And also in popularity! The n95 was considered by the majority of profile reviews as the best phone at that time! I never saw a review that placed the n96 in the first place! Anticipated? It might have been,but it failed to meet the expectations of costumers!

  • my nokia n96 is not showing dstv in a 3g city in nigeria. I was told its not all shows dstv but i read online dat all has dvb for life tv. What do i do

  • The n96 is a good phone but no more then that. At 200$ for a new phone I think it's worth it. If you're looking for a non-touch multimedia phone you should have also checked for other phones in the Nseries like n85,n95,n82,n79,n82 or Samsung Innov 8. Those are good alternatives to the n96.

  • wonderful and i love it...its complete and easy to use everywhere...

  • im about to buy this 4ne ( a month's time) for 200 US$. Is it a gud deal or shud i stick with my current nokia 6220 classic. I just feel the need to go big but wil never go touch screen way. Thannk u

  • Nice

  • When do you consider a phone best seller? When a phone sells 1 million is considered best seller. Nokia N96 is the most anticipated phone in 2008 which will be remembered so learn your facts well

  • Yes the n95 is a true legend! Nokia has not been able to create another true best seller ever since. Today the opinions are devided about what is the best phone. Back then it was no contest n95 was the best! Judging after the most important criterea,selles numbers the n96 did not manage to fill the shoes of n95. A pretty slow phone,with a bulky aspect suffering from the symbian disease-restarts and freezes! It has also good parts and It would be a lie to say it's a bad phone but overall the n96 won't be remembered as one of Nokia's best phones!

  • Yes the n95 8GB 1200 MAH battery can fit inside the n96 but it has to be trimmed a bit. I saw a video on youtube with a guy who explains the way...

  • N96 is a multimedia device while E72 is more a business phone. For music and Facebook I think n96 is more suited for you.

  • Yes using that battery out of my n79,,it bows the back a little but fits and gives over a days heavy usage. Also make sure your running v30 firmware and use external memory card for recording video onto..

  • Hey guys i wanna buy a nokia n96 or a nokia e72 can you tell me which is best for someone like me who listens to music all the time and uses facebook mobile a lot

  • Hello brothers, this is the answer to your problems regarding battery life, try replacing the BL-5F TO BL-6F this is 1200ma, it fits to the phone but a little bit bulky on the part of battery cover but its not noticeable, try it brothers, i'm using BL-6F for months now w/o hassle and long batt usage..Hope this helps..

  • Nokia said the N97 software was not ready when released but had a successful sales. Nokia are updating frequently and will be adding more features on most of their smartphones like ovi browser etc on 2011

  • The only real problem with N-Series is the battery gauge stays at level 7 bars for ages then drops quickly as is 60-70% of the power is in bar 7.The gauge needs adjusting but thats hard..The n-series are the best smartfones in the world..I have nearly all of them in my life and love em..

  • N97 is epic fail! nokia confimed that!

  • Nokia N95 sold 7 million the year it was lauched 2007 and another 3 million first quarter of 2008 which means it has sold more than 10 million. Nokia n96 and n97 have all sold more than 5 million each. Nokia new strategy is discontinue the predecessor and focus on the sucessor. Nokia phones always sell well and i know Nokia N8 is going to set a new record in the smartphone world.

  • Nokia lost the smartphone segment. The 1100 is the world best selling phone because it solded extremelly well in third world countryes. The arte series has targeted a special niche of costumers!Nokia lost the top-spot in the smartphone segment with n96 and n97! The n96 was not a proper replacement for the n95! The n95 sold 7 million units! The n96 and n97 sold each around half! The dvb-tunner was not on the top of the costumers top requairements! That's why it was taken out of production! Because it wasn't a best seller! Don't you know the golden rule? The winning team is never changed! The n96 was not a winning phone!

  • This model was discontinued by Nokia,that's why you can't find it! Probably the stores you went to have finished their stocks! Try buying one online from the sites given by Gsmarena,I'm sure they are trustworthy ,or try Ebay or if you know someone get one from the black market.Good luck!

  • hi i from singapore i hear about n96 i wanted to buy one but in singapore they say they don have the phone where can i buy it hmmm is hard to find the phone in singapore

  • Nokia sell 270,000 symbian smartfones worldwide every day.Obviuously short of 2 million a week but thats worldwide and ONLY symbian smartfones, figures on all their other range seem to vary from 400,000 to 625.000 but these been mainly second fones and bought in emerging markets sales fluctuste massivly..So in other words people get paid at odd times and buyung of bulk fones can boost figures one montha nd see the cut down the next. Out of ALL the mobile fones since 1998 ive had htc make the worst quality. I would put many alcatel tranducers (ie speakers,microphones) quality higher than whay htc use.Yet htc are the most expensive??

  • Sun for your information Nokia N96, N97 and N8 are all successful. Nokia normally sells it's phones unlocked or sim - free while Apple and Android phones are sold through service providers. Since, the service providers subsidies the prices, sales are high. Any phone sold unlock is not a success apart from Nokia. All successful Apple and Android phones are sold mostly by carriers. Phones that have more features have higher cost which implies lower profit margin viceversa. As yourself why Nokia 5800 is among the most sold touch screen phone and Nokia 1100 is the most sold phone and gadget. Nokia 8800 arte is expensive so can't be afforded by many people. The average living dominate the market so devices made for such people will rule.

  • guys where can i get full n gage games to download freely?some1 have deleted all my games. anyway i luv n96 then anybody esle lol.

  • What world are you living in,James? No manufacturer takes a phone out of the production line if it's still able to generate profit! The n96 was takes out of production mainly because of it's low selles rates! What part don't you understand? Nokia lost the smartphone segment in the n96,n97 period because n96 was not considered a worthy succesor of n95! The only improvement over the n95 was the extended memory storage and your "cherished" dvb-tunner! It's clear that your knoledge about phones is very limited since you don't know these facts!

  • Nokia discontinues it's expensive phones early like N91, N92, N96, 8800 series etc because of cost. Samsung Galaxy S is a nice phone but comparing a touch screen to a non-touch screen Nokia N96 is absurd. I will just list some facts: 1. Nokia N96 is popular than Samsung Galaxy S 2. Nokia N96 price history was dropping at a slower pace than Samsung Galaxy S 3. Nokia N96( 2 years old) is in the same price group of Samsung Galaxy S(half a year old) 4. Nokia N96 has excellent call quality and 3d stereo sound than Samsung Galaxy S 5. Nokia N96 has inbuilt video and sound chip that converts video and sound straight away but Samsung Galaxy S lack this hardware. Nokia N96 will always be remembered

  • you guys talk about phones and end up buying new ones, can get no satisfaction, you have a point, but its pointless

  • You're having problemes finding one because it's production has been stopped and probably the Nokia shops in your country have finished their stock and they didn't receive a new one. Try buying it online,there are sites who still sell it.

  • Your lack of knoledge and limited understanding has made you unable to understand a simple thing! It doesn't matter in what way,it matters that there are plenty of phones frow whitch you can whatc Tv! For you information the n96 wasn't a glorious chapter in Nokia history that why it got discontinued after a year and a few months while succes phones like the n95,n73 were produces for a few years! Few costumers worldwide being interested in that feature! It's clear that your knoledge in mobile phones is limited and superficial since you only had a couple of middle end phones,except the sirocco! Supernova...9500 communicator...those are just junk phones! I used only high-end phones and I have now the best phone in the world, Galaxy S!!! Next time think before posting useless comments!

  • Never regretted using Nokia N96, is like supporting the best football club in the world Barcelona who scored Real Madrid 5 - 0 and had ball possession of 83% against 17%. Jose Mourinho self proclaimed 'special one' had the greatest defeat in his coaching career from his formal player Pep Guardiola.What a talented football team that has created the greatest footballer in the world Diego Maradona and most best footballers. Hope it creates the greatest coach.

  • Sun ignorance has made you defianted. I said name just one phone that has dvb feature and you said clone chinese phone. Something clone is fake and is not technology and point of correction chinese clone phone transmit analogue tv channels whilst dvb transmit digital tv channels. Nokia is pioneer of camera phone, bluetooth, gps, large storage memory phone, dvb feature etc. Nokia used dvb feature in 2004 on 7710 touchscreen. Learn technology well because Nokia is among the three largest patent owners with Intel and Qualcomm

  • i just dont know reason the phone is very scarce in i've gone to various nokia outlets in nigeria they normally told me is not available and i feel like having the phone already,it is the best phone i have lay my hands on,got one before it was stolen

  • i can not wathc tv in croatia

  • Since you obviously don't know the chinese are very resourcefull people. Just Google it and you will find an infinity of cloned phones especially from Nokia and Apple who have a integrated tunner that allows watching TV! I have a Galaxy S and n96 can't compare with it neigher in terms of display,speed,user interface,number of apps etc. Still I haven't sold my n96 bec I still like it. As for the phones...I had or still have n73,n95,n96 n97 mini,i900 omnia,F480 tocco,lg prada, sirocco,8600 luna,8800 sapphire arte and the the jewel Galaxy S. I know more about technology since i had better phones then you! So next time before posting about things you think are unique try to do a little research!

  • Sun name the china phones that have dvb turner. I have toshiba 42 inch regza tv and samsung 32 inch led tv so respect people you don't know. I have used many phones like Nokia 7610, 7610 Supernova, 9500 Communicator, N75, 8800, 8800 Sirocco, 5800, Palm Pre and Nokia N96 etc and i don't thing you have knowledge in technology. Nokia N96 is King of phones because no phone have all it's features even the current Nokia N8.

  • Don't you have a TV? You're really annoying!!! You keep praising the damn dvb tunner like it was something unique! I told you even chinese phones are equipped with that feature! You never help people by answering their questions,all you do is praise the dvb -tunner like it was something from another planet!

  • On 29th November, 2010 i will watch El clásico match between Barcelona versus Real Madrid on my Nokia N96 live and i hope Barcelona win.

  • if anyone wants to sell his/her nokia n96 at Rs 7000 then plz... send mail to [email protected] before 1/01/11.

  • The UK and USA Version has not DVB-H Broadcast Reciver :-(((

  • this is the worst phone i have ever had and i cant wait for my contract to end!

  • You got class 10 card they are so expensive,a quick search shows them about 85GBP and your getting mugen battery?? I want your job haha..

  • @Brynn,thanx it should be here for christmas then?

  • Good advice,knowledge is power.. @kieron,Mugen do a 1000mA battery for n96 and its in mine..It come with lots of stamps over it and weird stuff and customs stuff..It comes in the shrink wrap thats cuts your hands to pieces so be carefull.Mine was here within a week really fast.Obviously mine is minimal difference and just a back up battery.

  • My battery after nearly 2 years has had it so getting the mugen 2000mA one..Its coming freepost from hongkong.I am using a class 10 8GB microsd card by samsung with document notes some mp3 and all my work stuff..Its a bit worn but i am so used to it so i will try get another 2 years out of it,,had nokia 6630 for 3 yrs before n96.good series of mobiles s60.

  • I don't think that it's worth buying the phone with a contract! First of all you end up paying more then the price of the phone contract-free and second you can have all sorts of unpleasant surprices from the carrier! Try to get your next phone contract free so you won't depend so much on the carrier!

  • Spent 2hrs on call to Vodacom SA. No one there knows what is going on. Passed me from pillar to post. Eventually they found someone who said they would get their legal dept to mail me tomorrow. Hello Peter site was also answered by Vodacom. Shall wait and see. Luckily it's only a phone and not a house or car this time, but if they don't sort it out, don't know what I will do. The deal ends on Tuesday, so Vodacom better take their fingers out of their butts and sort it out.

  • A case of what you know and who you trust implicitley

  • you have one then?

  • v good phone for kids

  • It's a well known fact of life that good guys always get it...one of Murphy's laws I think... Instead of buying phones from carriers and be subject for their arbitrary rules,it's better to buy your phones from certain people who...have their methods of getting phones...i got n96 when it appared at 200� and Galaxy S for 250�....how the phone were obtained...irrelevant...the only thing that matters is I got the phone I wanted...try to get in touch with those kind of people in your country...sometimes being fair in life is equivalent with being stupid...So be smart...

  • credit scores second hand shops ebay the rudy lot are horrible arnt they,my mother got a black mark because she paid off her catalogue with a cheque when they wanted her to accept credit and get mre money out of her in interest,it took 3 years to get right and really knocked the whole familys confidence..So i know exactly how angry and frustrated you must be.. Some people here i UK where i live cannot get mortgages to buy a house and when they get a credit check done its because of a late payment to their fone company..Swines they want your custom but have to do what they say. I hope you get sorted but never think your on your own the whole world is full of hurt and woe and it always happens to us good people.brynn

  • Thanks Brynn for the info. I am all set to get it but Vodacom SA has put a spanner in the works for me to move to another network. They gave me a bad credit rating for nothing Now I'm trying to sort it out. I thought Vodacom was great but now they suck. They said it was a fault on their records but will take 3 days to sort out. The 96 may be gone b4 I fix the problem. If I lose out on the deal, Vodacom must give me an n8 for next to nothing!!! If you live in SA and are with Vodacom, do yourself a favour and get a free credit check on 0861105665. Vodacom won't tell you that they have marked you (I'm still a customer on 2 phones-no outstanding amounts)but I had to learn this from MTN. They marked me after my 2yr contract expired and I went prepaid on 1 phone.

  • it's a nice and different phone but it's hard to find, if it could be distributed all around South Africa, I'd highly appreciate it

  • perfect phone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 >

  • nice but wi-fi problem

  • The best phones mostly come from Nokia and Symbian is the os with many features. If people want to compare os. They should know that the os with less features will be faster. Nokia N96 is the greatest smartphone ever because of it features and functions.

  • good

  • When you get it check its got latest firmware it speeds things up,if not do *#7370# FULL FACTORY RESET WHICH WILL WIPE EVERYTHING AND GIVE YOU A VIRGIN FONE ,THEN UPDATE TO A FRSEHLY FORMATTED N96.. If like some people do and try just to update after months or days of usage you are applying a new ROM onto a heavily used dick Z which is full of temp files and other gunk that computers and smartfones build up,,ie cookies,caches,phalb thumbnails etc.. Try to use a faster memory card rather than the built in memory for video recording..Use inbuilt storage for videos and fotos but put big GBYTES of music onto memory card,,it takes a whiles to read through 24.5GB of music on my 32GB card but putting 12gb on internal memory it takes ages to refresh.. The inbuilt memory is slow,not even class 2 but its made that way to last the life of the machine; Slow memory but rugged can be formatted many times without wearing it out. Fast memory can only be formatted a limited amount of times before failure. The 220MHz is fast enough for all the inbuilt tasks but remember ALL video and music is proccessed by special seperate decoder chips. Be reasonable with apps and themes and try to use the inbuilt themes as they are specifically designed and tested for the said device,,themes you get of the net from zedge.net or others DO CAUSE compatability problems..Nokias built in themes are very lightweight in KB so they run fast..With respect some themes are in MB and can look good but do cause problems cause ive had nokia/symbian since 2003.. Once youve pressed for a command give the fone a chance to respond and also on first boot up everytime wait till the operater logo has appeared then give ALL smartfones another 10 seconds to let it start up all the proccessess it has to do..

  • good

  • nice

  • nice

  • My dad bought this thing 1 year ago (February 2,2009 to be exact) in Dubai... now this fone is showing it's dark side... applications took too long to Load i wonder if the thing had crashed, the slides we're loosed, so it seems like it's not sturdy anymore, POORRR BATERRY LIFE...AMFF... My N95 8GB is a waayyy better than this... well when it comes to storage... this is the winner.... hmmhh...that's all... (sorry for wrong grammars)

  • Hi. Just bought a N96 (brand new, boxed with 2 yr warantee from approved Nokia agents). I pick it up on Wednesday. You guys convinced me as it was between an E72 of N96, but 96 was much cheaper ('cos it's older). Will let you guys know how it goes. Thanks for the battery charging tips. Any other recommendations / tips that will help me get it up and running when I collect it? What phone protection cover is the best? Invisible shield or??? Thanks, Jon

  • good

  • Lionel Messi's hat-trick secured Barcelona's eight nil win over Almerie. Nokia N96 broadcasted Messi's twenty second goal in all competition. What a genius phone showing a magical player.

  • My current phone. A friend of mine brought it to me from UK, when it still wasn't available in my country ( I'm from Bulgaria). I don't really like the touch-screen technology, so this one is still the best phone I've ever seen, not just had. It's easy to reinstall the OS, practically unlimited space to fill, and many other stuffs. Just treat it gently, because the display is very whimsical. I really recommend this one.

  • Nokia N96 made me watch Messi's magical goal win for Argentina against Brazil live friendlies. Nokia thanks for this innovative phone.

  • Of all the phones I've owned including my most recent addition the N97 mini I'd still rate the N96 as the best cell I ever had-a all in one phone that does basically everything & has a good quality build!

  • Of all the phones I've owned including my most recent addition the N97 mini I'd still rate the N96 as the best cell I ever had-a all in one phone that does basically everything & has a good quality build!

  • One of the coolest phone i ever had.. Try this and you will love it.

  • I had an iPhone but still used the N96 as a second phone. I'm still using the N96.. It's a good phone. Has everything as you say

  • it is smart,all things that person looking for is here,GOOD cam,wifi,music,gps etc..its just that some people are not contented..at this modern day,lucky are those who can afford much expensive gadgets.so please think twice.and be contented.

  • nokia n96 very good phone

  • nokia n96 very good phone

  • with so many gadgets the battery is my only problem it does not last long

  • Internet and music drains the battery pretty fast. The n95 8GB uses a 1200Mah battery which last longer then the one of n96. With an adequate trimming the battery can fit inside the n96. There are also some other things that could improve batt life. In the first 3 charges keep the battery for a couple of hours charging until it's full and don't charge it again until it's completly empty.This cicle is crucial in the beggining. Also even after that keep the battery charging for a couple of hours even if if it shows it has been completly recharged. Also make sure that the wi-fi,bluetooth and GPS are closed when you don't need them.Adjust the brightness of display to half power,(it's enought) and also set the light time out to 15-20 seconds. Good luck!

  • You can buy the Nokia N96 because with your usage it can last you 2 - 3 days but is discontinued so how will you get one to buy?

  • hi there I have been reading the reviews and its hard for me to believe that a flagship mobile could have such a weak battery as described in some of the comments what about activating the power saving modes on the mobile has anyone done that and is there a difference in battery life thereafter? I would like to purchase the mobile I don't listen alot to music maybe 30 min a day and a hour or two on the internet and a few calls max 10 in a day would this use up all the battery life? if so then I think I should reconsider. Owners of this mobile please reply and advise?

  • James,I agree that n96 is a good phone I still haven't sold mine and still use it sometimes. But wordwide the n96 was not considered a succes for Nokia. Nokia lost the smartphone segment in the perior of n96 and n97 and they are trying to get it back with n8 and soon N9. The main feature the dvb tunner didn't help n96 to be a best seller,a relatively small procentage of costumers worldwide being interested in that feature. That technology was nothing new Samsung launching some phones with it. And and about the memory...few people actually need that much storage space. The 8GB of n95 was enought for many. And there are also memory cards. Nokia should have have made a more powerfull proccesor ,Ram memory and made sure that n96 doesn't lag and restarts so often. Most users would have preffered that instead of a dvb tunner!

  • Nokia N96 made me watch Messi's 19th goal in 16 appearances today. Barcelona 3 - 1 Villareal Villa 1 1 Nilmar Messi 2

  • Jon,I also have a Galaxy S and it's amazing. You can't compare n96 with it. The display is amazing,blazing fast, tons and tons of apps, hd video recording. The n96 is a good phone I admit that,let's be honest, it can't be compared with Galaxy.

  • Yes you can...you can use a n95 8GB battery...you have to trim it a bit and the phone will look bulkier but it can be done. It worked on my n96. Watch youtube for more details.

  • O Lord! May U bless me with this phone soon! I can't sleep...

  • hi there is it possible to put a battery of greater power in t6he cell in order to compensate for this weak one?

  • I love the way nokia N96 is made. All the the functions are so easy to use and useful. It has entertainment, work and everthing what i wanted. So, it has made my work really easy and i Have access everywhere. So, i will suggest many to use this cellphone...

  • I know it's old, but the specs are still decent. The new touchscreens like Galaxy9000, X10 and N8 are so big (+-4") so they don't fit into top pocket easily and they are so thin that if they are in your back pocket, I think they will crack in half. They also need a hell of a lot of data (downloads) to make them any thing decent. I'm looking for a phone that is a good phone with a couple of extras, not a mini computer. N96 should do just fine! You certainly won't miss a call 'cos they ring so loud. This may be my first Noksia since a 3210 (black 'n white screen). I've had SE's since then.

  • Nokia N96 is a modern computer entertainment tv mobile phone. Can anyone just name one phone that have all the features in Nokia N96 such as: 16 gigabytes storage, micro card slot, dual arm cpu, radio, digital tv channels feature, best camera lens 'Carl Zeiss', 3d stereo speakers and kick stand.

  • Just dial *#7370# for the hard reset..if the phone responds and shut of and restarts it's original... Enyway the n96 is outdated if we compare it with today 's phones but still it's pretty good

  • Zambia!. A bit far from me, MTN deals are only valid in South Africa. I hope they still have stock for me. There are too many replica N96's out there, so be careful where you buy one if you can find one. Replicas usually only have a 7 day warranty!

  • Good phone

  • Hi James. thanks.It is original Nokia with 2yrs warantee. I will go and check it out further. The monthly price is low so I will still have spare cash for an added data bundle,all for less than the cost of an android phone.

  • Is cool,with high speed in it's modusuperandi,i love it.

  • Jon if you trust it is original Nokia N96 then buy. Nokia stop making it in 2009 because cost of production was very expensive. Nokia will be updating most of it's phones from 2011 frequently.

  • Jon if you trust it is original Nokia N96 then buy. Nokia stop producing it in 2009 because cost of production was very expensive. Nokia will be releasing frequent updates in 2011 to most of their handsets which consists of new browser and other features to improve performance.

  • Please where can i purchase a genuine Nokia N96? It's nowhere to be seen here in Zambia.

  • They're selling genuine new N96s here is SA. Must be unsold ones from the poor publicity when the phone first came out.(Not Chinese replicas). Is it a good phone? Should I buy one and will I be happy with it? I don't care about TV on it, navigation more important and browsing/downloading. Have all the initial problems been sorted out by software upgrades? Let me know asap please. Thanks.

  • The Live tv is free with 11 channels on Nokia n96 in Ghana. Nokia have discontinued the production of N96, so is very difficult to get to buy at a shop.

  • Go Newcastle. Lets survive this year! I'm looking at purchasing a new N96. Have all the software issues been resolved. The phone is going cheep ('cos its been around for 2 years) and I don't quite want to get a smartphone with android etc. Should I buy one? Friend has N95 8GB and he's totally satisfied although I read that 96 is not as good as N95. Anyone got feedback of long term usage and is current (what's it like now)? Do they still freeze? I'm in South Africa.

  • Good

  • How you set that!? is it free or is paying,i don't know I just got my n96! thanks

  • why is my phone very slow?? is it really a feature of n96???

  • Seyram uninstall all softwares not approved by Nokia and use NetQin Mobile Guard to scan for problems and free memory on phone. When many applications are running at the background it slows the phone so you can check by pressing the menu button for 2-3 seconds to show the task manager. Use the delete(c) button to close the applications. Seyram do you live in Tema?

  • Can 1 help me? Is it true dat n96 has something 2 do with Dstv?

  • Nice phone

  • This phone has got problem with its strip. i.e., its navigation key (right left up down) over a period of time , will start acting crazy, & sometimes it wont even respond.. my suggestion, pls carefully use the slip bar.. avoid using navigation key to the maximum., instead try the key pad no.s for quick navigation once yu r in the menu screen. once the navigation key stops working, it is a clear cut indication for yu to change replace the entire strip itself. the strip is expensive and the money yu spend on the strip can by yu a nokia basic phone.. any sliding bar high end phones have this strip problem.. apart from this one major draw back is its response time,, it keeps on going slower day by day.. pls keep updating the software.. apart from this two major drawback, this phone is amazing,, i'm using it from quite a long time.. amazing camera quality, great storage, good battery back up.. hope this post will help yu know more about the phone..

  • how can i play n-gage with my n96? because anytime i try to install game the result is the game is corrupt. why? Shld i format the phone.

  • Phone is good but looking at all the feature, the phone battery should have been more than 950mAh i.e at least 1500 mAh.

  • i found n96 extremley good i found its function that its contains is gud i like its design its way its made n so on its too gud n96 thxxx

  • do you think its just not worth it?

  • Wow! Still a hand-crafted masterpiece. I have been received free top-up credits on my phone for watching live dstv channels.

  • i always face problem with Nokia n series phones.last 2 years i bought n95 8gb and use it for only 4month and the screen seize to work again.this year i also go for n96 and face the same problem.

  • Oh, much antagoizing about this phone. My cousin has nokia n97 but he still wants n96 because of its not of cool specifications but of its look and the slider dazzles him!!

  • Great phone but he has his problems the slider is not god i will buy a samsung that is better than this one

  • this is the worst mobile I have ever used. i advise you not to buy especially this one.

  • I have problem using the quickoffice,anytime i tried to open it, i am been told to enter an unlock code or purchase sowftware,all my try has prove futile, what should i do

  • i was updating my n80 wen the usb cable moved and rendered the fone dead..I took it 40 miles to nearest nokia centre and was bACK IN 3 WEEKS all done and dusted..Itwas in warranty cost me 0 zero nothing zilch..Some nokias are actually gauranteed for 2year,,you must have proof of purchase ,,even your contract will do..

  • That doesn't mean than the phone is damaged beyond repair. I had the same problem a year ago, took the phone to a service shop and they replaiced the flex a component that makes the connection between the base plate and the display. It cost 30$ i remember. Take the phone to Nokia or a service shop in your country and maybe they will fix the problem. Good luck!

  • i used this phone for about a year. it stuffed up on me. screen wouldnt turn on. nokia gave me a new n96. its been about 8 months and now the screen has once again stopped working. unfortunately, this time, my warranty has expired and i am left with a dud phone for another 5 months before my contract runs out.

  • I bought N96 From Dubai for AED.3,200.00 on 2008 Oct. I have come across with several phone models.. and i never experinced the hang like Nokia N96. All the application including the Memu view is very very slow. and stuck. Before 1 week i sold it for AED.500.00 Waste of money....

  • i like three phones n95 and n97 so i think that n96 will be good

  • i love this phone...i really want to know how is much the fairly used ones

  • Nokia always surprised its user with its up ro date mobile phone technology. N96 has all the features which u can imagine a phone might have accept touch screen. touh screen is i think horrible piece of shit i'beeen using iphone 2G from last 1 year but the satisfaction and ease which dial pad eanbled cell phone gives touch screen can never give u. so guys don't waste ur money on touch screen cell phones they are horrible.

  • Why use infrared when you can use bluetooth! It's easier, more reliable.

  • Dude i live in lhr can i get this phone in almost 8000

  • n85 is better than n96

  • are make nokia doublicate china n96, first time that looking i was not belived because that was same nokia handsets but i dontno that is china peace but i was taking on that handset please i request for you donot launch china handsets

  • get rid of this silly touscreen rubbish,,we want button smartfone n-series symbian^3 and ^4

  • Nseries phones are still the best!!! damn all those touch screen phones... *peace*

  • I have n95 and N96... I so love these phones... It's the best and certainly NOKIA's KING of all PHONES!!!

  • THE code is 12345 after the hard reset,,it will wipe all your n96 back to as if you have just bought it so as person says back up all your stuff ..Its good as with every computer to restart the fone everyday to clear out all this gunk thats builds up.. Note to Nokia,,please bring back this mobile with bigger proccsser and battery but keep the design the sam please,this mega smartfone has every button you can think of...Get rid of these new touchscreeen i hate them,,bring back button high power smartfones please,,please..

  • Hard reset. Dial *#7370# the phone will ask your your security code after you dial it the phone will shut down and restart. But this deletes also the files that you have installed (contacts,photos etc) so you have to save them first.

  • i like it .it's use for very easily. Good shape&stylish.network very fast.but infrared connection not here.this is disadvantage.

  • how to clear mobile wirus

  • i like it ! hope i can buy this one

  • Its very slow mobile. The processor is very weak. Every time you'll get a memory low error. When i run opera mobile 10 with it it always give low memory error while my n82 runs it very smoothly. So never go for this phone

  • I hav bought n96 but when i try to set time the answer i get system error,whats wrong, also when i try to use calculator only plus and minus keys are working

  • hi dude, thanks for info...actually i planned to swap my phone from nokia e90 to n96, thanks

  • 1200mah

  • Still King of Phones because non- touch screen are the best, has dual slide, dual arm processor and has 16 gigabytes internal memory, shows live tv with the digital video broadcast(dvb) function, applications can be installed on either the phone or micro card memory, connected to tv for watching pics, videos, playing games and big screen viewing and has the best camera lens maker in the world thus Carl Zeiss. Modern phones lack something Nokia N96 has and the only thing it lacks is touch enable feature of the screen which is possible.

  • please dont go for n96.its horrible.very poor performances.batt doesnt last long. u'll have to charge at least twice a day if u use it frequently. and also photo quality is not good. go for something else dude.

  • nokia n96 is the worst phone i've ever had.it has very poor performances.dont even think about buying this phone guys. n95 was loads better than this phone.

  • on the contrary....i've found the camera really good...high resolution and very wonderful colors...if used really alot the battery last for a day...if used less it lasts even longer.....i loved the software...it's easy and it has nice options...the keys were helpful too...the only thing i didn't like is that it look mannish..

  • millions of my friends do not appreciate these phone due to poor performance wud better go for nokia n73 than these

  • My brother have this one and first he was looking for big screen, huge memory, decent camera & complete features from this phone, but after 1 week (!) he was very disappointed because of very slow UI, poor video playback quality with such applications like DivX Player, UC Player, Core Player etc. (because of ancient ARM9 processor?) & bad speaker quality (even very loud indeed). My 6120c was better on those area than this phone!

  • You installed the latest firmware? So what? I also updated my phone with every firmware that was released for this phone and it's still pretty slow and somethimes hangs. Not so often as it once did but stil hangs. Told you,try giving it a hard reset and if that doesn't work take it to Nokia care. Good luck!

  • its am amazing phone

  • I have it to my son in law. But he returned it because it's charge does not remain for a long time. Again it's vga 5 megapixel camera is very ordinary. Every pictures size is around 1.5 kb. 65k colour does not in with the day.

  • dude i even installed the new software"firmware" 4 time from nokia care but still it gives the same problem.nw tell me what i must do to get rid of this program...

  • Buy a new battery(chinese coz is cheper) see how it goes and if you have the same problem take the phone to a service point.

  • Hullo,guyz after chargin my phone in d next one hour its flat. could it be battary problm or my phone prob. tanx guyz.

  • I think (not sure) that you might have a bug or something in your phone. Try given it first a soft reset*#7780# after that you dial your code. This will ONLY bring the phone to factory settings without deleting enything. If it doesn't work you might try a hard reset*#7370# plus code. This will delete most files on your phone (and the bug) so you should save your files first. The n96 is a pretty buggy phone , i sometimes need to give it a reset and it works for me. Good luck!

  • i need a help ...i am using this phone...whenever i play a song in this after the first playing song is over its gives me the error of "general : System error" i am fed up with this problem because to listen again the songs i have to switch off the ph and restart or i have to go to file manger to play the songs...will anybody help me to get rid of this prb.....i am waiting for ur reply.....

Suddenly it was fast and the battery life increased. I now only need to recharge it every second to third day. They even improved the camera zoom abilities. Only problem now, the BT only transfers data while the phone is ringing. Any solutions?

  • Bakwas all fake dnt hear to anyone guys its old version

  • very good phone

  • please some one should help me out, im using nokia n96 & i'm living in capetown & wan to relocate to BAHAMAS for my sturdies. pls does any one knows if the DVB-H broadcasting on N96 works there? Plz if any one is living there & its working & broadcasting well pls reply me on this mail :- [email protected]. plz be fast about it, thank you all fans of gsm arena.com

  • One major advantage that the n96 has over n95 is the DVB- digital video broadcast- feature that it has. Wit this one can watch satellite on the mobile. Besides it can not be compared wit 5230which is a java, DVB enabled phone

  • This phone is packed with loads. The only thing that put me down for this phone is its music playback time. 14h that's too little, almost twice as little as the "nokia 5230" that has 33h of music which is also more than the iPhone 3g at that price. Unbelievable, sometimes i dump this phone off and go for my other phone "Nokia 5230" but less than a day or so my interest drops and i can't live without N96 because it's MORE usefull and better.

  • love it wif a passion lol had my n96 just over a year now and no probs at all :)

  • Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... I personaly like the design. The picture and video quality are at the same level with the n95-very good and the upgrade to 30.101 has greatly improved it's speed ,add to that the opera 10 and web surfing is a enjoyable experience. I have both the n95 and the n96 and from my point of view they are equal in performance.

  • This is the phone that ruined Nokia's reputation for making only the very-best phones. It was supposed to be an upgrade of Nokia's best-ever N95, however it turned out to be a DOWNGRADE, being an N95 with more memory, but with TERRIBLE ERGONOMICS, BAD BUILD QUALITY, SLOWER PROCESSOR AND blah blah, the list of faults in this phone go on and on! I HATE you N96!

  • this phone to slow but i like nokia n95 better

  • it's great i love it cause of the memory and wifi...but the camera is not really so gd..

  • I have terrible problems with my N96 it is always restarting a average 3 to 4 times per day, however i am on a old software and need to update, but the positives with the phone are that it is AMAZING for multi media, photos are great even on a night out in a club etc and video is amazing can fil anything in high quality, music is good with good sound output, and memory is great. Obv not a super fast phone but a must by for any Nokia lover

  • m using n96.....itza worst buy for me......though it has a huge dispay .....bt color is too nasty.....i think a china handsets dispay is much better than n96.....um getting crazy bout dis type of dispay.....and itz battery life totay suckz.....picture quaity is gud on day light......bt at night ???? fucking bad....someone can tell me could i use 2.8"AMOLED dispay repacing current lcd dispay ??????

  • i used this ph frm last 1year.it helps me to record my clas lecture.aftr tht i can easily copy tht to my notebook.u also can try!but recently i found it is unable to take animated wallpaper!why?

  • Guys, I got Nokia N96 this is one of the crap phones i ever had, the batterylife is not that great, sometimes it goes slow for the entire day, i strongly recommend to not take this phone

  • yah i verymuch enjoy with this useful mobile espashally mamory status

  • Look in google for something like call recorder S60 v3, to see what you get. The important part is the "S60 v3", searching for it you could find something helpful, and look in mobango.com, dotsis.com too. Regards.

  • yeah... maybe that's a best i can do for my phone now. thanks

  • I want to know the recording opition during the call. When I call or receive the call from anywhere. I want to recording but I am not sucess in this. Please write us any opiton.

  • I don't know that something like that could happen it seems that you're a nokia expert too what about take your N96 to the nokia care center?

  • I love n95 8gb than this phone... But it massive memory make it better than n95 8gb...

  • (DVB-H TV)signal only in delhi.......

  • check your operator signal, is it full? check your debt, have you pay your phone's bill? check your phone memory, is there any space left to save a message? or it just an operator error, wait and see if you can send it later...

  • maybe your country doesn't support the digital tv yet since N96 tv mobile is a digital type one...

  • i got the s/w upgraded and now phone is working fine, it was not an issue with the lock key. nokia said the s/w version in my phone was 10.065 and they could upgrade to version 30.00 which is prevailing in India; however when they realised that the phone is from uk; they said it can be upgraded only to version 11.00. how come is that possble?

  • mine says no tv signal in curent location but wer ever i go ther is no signal what do i do????

  • i have the n96 for sometime now but the tv-out option does not when watching live Tv.what do i do?

  • How 2 watch the World Cup in the N96 mobile? I'v already tried Mobile tv but nothing happens plz anyone help plz.

  • I had this problem once but i was trying to send a message in another network and i was out of credit. I don't think it's your case but check it anyway. Other than that i really don't hnow how to help you.

  • This the better not best. But i like this set so much. Only battery is problem for long lasting. Camera is not so good such as Nokia n73 is best then n96.

  • Hi... i got a problem with my nokia n96 it can't send a message every time i send a message it just going to outbox... and it will stay forever in there if i dont delete it i've already tried to set the message centre but it not working at all can some body help me in this case? thanks

  • Have you tried removing the battery and then putting it back? Maybe the keypad lock button is jammed and you need need to move it right and left a couple of times to make it work again.

  • thanks for the reply; i just cannot use the phone at all. though i can see the screen saver, i cannot unlock the phone, neither sliding it helps. its as good as switched off, or atleast the alarm rings when its switched off but even that does not happens with the prob that i face.

  • Do you have problemes only with incoming calls, can you dial numbers? Do the other functions of the phone work and does the screen shuts down ?

  • I had a e52 but i never used it as a modem as for n96 for me it worked very well but again i can not compare them if i only used one of them .

  • my phone shows that it is on, however it is off. it may sound confusing; so let me give examples. i can see the screen saver and the light on the direction key flickers however when someone calls; i cant hear the tone and the phone rings for them. i cannot operate the phone at all, the alarm wont ring. but again it does not show as switched off. what to do??

  • n86 is better then n96. its has good 8mp cam as well the speed is also good considered to n96

  • Thanks Stefan. I also need the phone to be used as my modem connected to my laptop, (I used to have the E66, droped with gr8 force so no good anymore) which is best for this E52, E66 or N96. Thanks again in advance. ..

  • The E series are designed primarily for business and the N series for multimedia . So both e52 and e66 out of the box are faster then n96 but with the upgraded firmware n96 speed will improve. Depends what you want from a phone.

  • Also which is the best/worst with CPU & speed between E52, E66 & N96. Thanks Heaps in advance. ...

  • It has a 264mhz proccesor slower then 364mhz of the n95 for example. So originaly is not fast but if you get the 30.101 the latest firmware it's speed will improve considerably.

  • If you want better camera and AMOLED screen then go for N86. If you want bigger screen and more memory then go for N96.

  • who is the best.. n96 or n86??? please answer me fastly !!

  • @ sachin, I heard this mobile is too slow. Is it right?

  • Should I choose N96 or N86. I want to use WLAN & N-GAGE 2.0 for gaming. Please suggest immediately. Thnx in advance

  • not good in camera. its system file gets corrupt easity

  • great mobile,i love it

  • Hi, the size of the screen is always calculated diagonally.. Now check whether it measures that much or not. It will be :-) bye..

  • poor sound.

  • -restarts itself 4x a day -bugs in OS/camera sw -very slow, poor performance -buttons really bad -very poor battery +good display +features +good camera

  • I got this phone after the day it was released. this phone was great somehow it has ups and downs. battery was drained in a matter of hours and the memory cannot hold its files. i hope you know what i mean.

  • That sux for u then

  • Bought This Phone Few Days After Release Date, But Didnt Like It Because I Could Not Send 5gb Of Music Into It, When I Tried The Phone And Went To Music Player iT Said "Refreshing Library" After Few Minutes Of Waiting It Just Said "Music Found 0" Even Though I Put 700 Songs On It, Can Anyone Tell Me What Has Gone Wrong????

  • HOW TO CALCULATING SCREEN SIZE OF PHONE? 1 inch = 2.54 cm 2.8 inch = 7.112 cm But when I draw 7.112 cm in the PAPER (with 4:3), result: this size dislike SCREEN phone! Why? Wrong where?

  • Try the latest firmware 30.101 it won't make your phone fly like the wind but for certain it will be an inprovement in it's speed and (if you have) not experience hanging eny more.

  • I have the N96. Its basically an amazing phone, with all great abilities..but..the only problem, i dont knw why on earth has Nokia thought of giving such a smooth phone, with a 16GB built in memory, such a poor processor, like..what the heck is this..an amazing phone with a slow processor..this phone makes me so mad that i feel like just throwing it at the wall at times. Honestly, sometimes i do regret buying this phone

  • This phone have also accelerometer and supports 32gb memory card instead of 8 how gsmarena says..

  • Nokia N96 will always be King of Phones because it is best in mobile multimedia computer. Nokia N96 will let me watch all the live world cup matches anywhere with the Digial Video Broadcast (DVB-H) feature.

  • hey, whats the speaker like on this?

  • i have a 5800, is it nice to have this phone in replace of the one i have now?

  • We all had to face this problem. Still there are a couple of things that might help. The n96 uses the bl-5f 950 mah. But also you can use the bl-6f of the n95-8gb, it has1200 mah. The battery is bigger and it's a bit difficult to make it fit in the n96 but it can be done. A friend of mine whe works at a gsm service helped me with that. This battery lasts now longer. Second thing there is a code *#3370* that is supposed to increase battery life by deactivating the efr(enhanced full rate codec) . That means that the phone receives less signal network so less talk quality but gains 30% more life battery. Phone will restart automaticly after you dialled it. On my phone that did not work nothing happend when i dialled it maybe it will work on yours. Don't wory this code will not delete enything that you might have installed.

  • Forget to tell you.... There is another way dial*#0000# and the firmware that you have on the phone along with other things will appear. On le left side -options -check for updates and this then you will receive the results from the nokia software updater. Or this aplication can be downloaded from the nokia site i think i had it when i bought the phone so i don't the code. Hope this helps.

  • Thank you. Will upgrade my firmware and give my feedback.

  • music player can last for 14h.shame on you Nokia big lairs mine can just last for 2H when listning to music.I use genuine battery & the version 30.033.

  • Very good and so is the video recording if you are interested. If you haven't read the review you should. It's an objective evaluation.

  • I updated the firmware at nokia service point. Probably nokia have service points in every country. It's called nokia care or something like that in some countryes. As for the tv problem i really don't hnow maybe the dvb-h format is not supported in your country. Enyway as i've said go to one of nokia service points for the firmware but don't expect lighning speed with this. Still the phone is faster and doesn't hang eny more.

  • Hi, this is a cellphone no. You might have to dial +91 country code followed by the no.

  • hwz its camera...plz tl me

  • where do i get the firmware and how do i install?

  • etiqquete's paramount. Mobile Tv/ live TV doesn't display on TV screen when connect my N96 to TV. Advice?

  • hi .. i wanna sell ma n96 . completely k set wd all acessiries .. age .. 14 months....gud condition... devesh 999772223 delhi

  • First of all control your language. Here we advice each other when somebody has a question in a polite and civilized maner. Even with the latest firmware that i have instored on my n96 it's speed is not as fast as n95 which i also have. Still altought n96 is considered by many as a failure for me it's a very good phone. If you have eny other comments express them in a appropiate maner! Keep that in mind !

  • What thhe hell do you mean N96 is dead slow??? Try upgrading to firmware 30.101 and you'll see lightning speed. N96 Dual 264 Mhz don't fuck too much. Try upgrading otherwise then that sucks for you. Way better than N95.

  • Nokia e75 and e66 are primarily designed for business. It also depends on what you want from a phone. The n96 has greater storage capacity, larger screen , much better camera and video recording is clearly superior. Both e66 and e75 are much faster then n96. They have a 369 proccesor compared to 264 of n96. The arena is also a multimedia device so it comes down to these 2 .

  • guys who win Nokia E75 or nokia E66 or Nokia N96 or Lg Km900? i want to buy one of them so confuse @___@

  • N96 is about as good as it gets for your use i think, the 16gig internal memory is fantastic, and just add a microSD card to expand. Also as Stefan says, audio quality is good, or not bad anyway, but you need better than the original headset then. Mine sounded great even with the cheapest Sony, i think i paid only like 10 Singapore dollars for it one time i had a few hours to kill in Changi airport. Battery life however is not that great for non-stop music. Display is low resolution, and its 4:3 aspect ratio makes it somewhat unsuitable for watching widescreen video. You could get a used 5800 for cheaper, but then at best with a 8gig memory card. 8gig is not too bad anyway, i never had that much music on a cellfone, but videos, yes... Then 8gig is like nothing. Then battery, last much longer on 5800 and its much better for watching video with its 640x360 widescreen display (N96 is only 320x240). Disadvantage with 5800 (or 5530) is the camera, N96s cam is sooooo much better. Never mind the Carl Zeiss branding of lens on 5800, its not good no matter what name they give it. I think the antique N73 had better cam. But 5800/5530 takes acceptable photos, your girlfriend will still look like your girlfriend in the photos, so ok...

  • N96 is a multimedia device . It focuses on entertainment. All that you seed about the camera, video,storage capacity are true( a friend of mine who also has one has over 1000 songs on his phone) and the audio quality is pretty good. On a large screen like this watching videos it's a pleasure. Those are the strongpoints. The weak points are the fact that the proccesor has 264 so it's speed is like i've said just acceptable don't expect super speed like the one of the recently released desire . The second problem is i heard many people complaining that their phones often hang. I had mine for a year and a half and only happened 4 or5 times in conditions of moderate and heavy usage of the phone. But i have read to many opinions about that so it's a real problem . The battery life is not the best but not the worse . It is unfortunate that nokia used a cheap quality plastic for this phone. It scratches pretty easyly i had to replace some parts. For me the pro outweight the negative parts. The n96 is a good phone in my opinion. That being said good luck and have fun shopping!

  • hey frens.......shud i buy dis oldie or somethin new ......actuly i need big screen , ok quality camera and big memory for music room and stuffs........so what abut dis N96.!!!!!huh.....ican't afford to hv somethin heavier thn 18k rupees so plzzzzz suggst me d rite thin....thnx in advance.......

  • I never had to reboot mine but as far as l know you have 2 choises: dial *#7780# to format your phone this is a soft reset it brings the phone back to factory settings without deleting enything that you have installed. The second choice would be to try a hard reset. Dial *#7370#. This will bring the phone to factory settings but it will delete everything that you have(photos phone numbers messages etc) so you will have to save them first. In both cases after you dial the codes for hard or soft reset the phone will ask you the security code . By default this is 12345 or the code that you have. Maybe there are other options but i don't know them. Hope it works !

  • nice

  • how 2 reboot dis fone?????????????

  • thanks buddies...i will buy this...speed is not necceassary for me...i love this phone for big screen,nicee multimedia and this phone can install lot of software

  • hello guys. please help me . what should i do?...i have n96 black edition. my version was 12 then i updated it to version 30. i formated the 16gb drive but still photos are there and the photos cant be deleted and said general system error and the photos cant be viewed. please respond guys.. thanks

  • It's not the fastest phone on today market that is true. But on the other hand let's not exagerate, it's speed is let's say acceptable. Enyway if you are loking for a phone with great multimedia features , very good photos and video then n96 is a good choice. If not then you should buy something else.

  • i can see people said this phone processor is slow...how slow is that....i need a godd feddback coz i wanna buy this phone..thanks..

  • Still the King of mobile multi-media computer.

  • I suggest not to buy N96 because too much slow its suckssss the procesor speed is very much disapointing i dont thing why nokia making like this shits..

  • i dont knw why n96 cpu is so slow sucks!... my coreplayer doenst accelarate some video files beacuse of the low cpu! other then that i love n96

  • using N96 for more than a year. doesn't feel like a usefull phone, but when i try out the other phones like 5230 and 3250....N96 comes out to be the most needed....i missss N96 and that's why i always come back to it. I recommend this phone, it's freaking great..has allll the features i need, especially the camera, memory and the movie performance and quality..darn i love this phone...i would have preferred Nokia N900 but sucks bad, why? Becuase N900 has 65k colour, the same i remember back with the Nokia 6600 had 65k colour and believe me or not that was and is the worst phone screen colour of today.

  • tom a dvb is a "DIGITAL VIDEO BROADCASTIN " to ur handset due to this u can watch live broadcasts to ur handset kind of television at 2.8 inch tft display

  • m usin dis fon for 1 year n its battery life very low if ur usin its features such as wap services etc but its standby is quite good .... its kind of a complete phone though each cell has its weakness or a disadvantage but compared to so many good qualities n services its nthin it can sorted out ...enjoy :P >>
