n96 has so little improvement compared to n95 8gb....actually,i was hopin nokia would come on with something new..but it seems like the only added function is dvbh and larger memory pool,but lower battery...how can u watch tv with that amount of battery?in my opinion,nokia should release n96 with vga resolution display,8 megapixel with xenon flash, and tv tuner(some china phone has this feature where u can watch tv for free),not dvbh tv where u hv to pay to watch tv....

I'd prefer a super sharp and vibriant 5MP photos than so so 7/8MP. 5MP is IMHO actually more than enough for casual shots. You'd probably going to resize to 1024x768 than sending full size photo to your friends anyway. Also smaller size picture means faster picture processing and more photos for the same storage size.

First, let's don't jump into conclusion so fast whether or not there is any improvement between N95 8G and N96. What you see is only on paper, you haven't use the phone yet, so let's just be fair to all parties. Of cause we consumer want everything the best, VGA resolution display, 8 MP camera, etc...but we must also think from the design n application engineers point of view, to include so much into such a small form factor is already incredible, so don't push it. Although we can always argue that those are not our problem and since we consumers are the one who is paying the $$$, they should find a way to deliver what the consumer required. But hey, they didn't really put a gun at our head to ask us buy their product either right? 

If you read my post previously, you probably already know that the N96 might be using a new processor which is different from N95/N95 8G/N82. N95/N95 8G/N82 are using Texas Instruments OMAP2420 processor while the new N96 might be using STMicroelectronics Nomadik STn8815 processor. I do a bit digging into these two processors and found out the following differences:

OMAP2420                   
CPU: ARM1136 at 330MHz
Power Management: TWL92230
Camera Processor: DM290

STn8815
CPU: ARM926EJ at 393MHz
Power Management: STw481x
Camera Processor: unknown
From above comparison, I am quite sure there will be some performance differences in term of battery life time and camera and imaging performance. But whether or not it will be better I cannot tell. We Just have to wait and see.

At least the design already got conclusion la...

Upon light searching it seems that it also has video and 3D accelerator...

I understand we can't make conclusion so early, but I've yet to see a 950mAh can do much good on powerful devices in the past...At least the talk time is far from impressive...

Well, my N95 is on the 950mAh and I am satisfied with what it can offer me in term of battery life. I charge my phone daily on heavy usage and every 2 days on light usage. It is pretty good for me. I guess everyone's cup of tea is different. Daily charge might be OK with me but not for you, maybe. Let's hope our scientists can develop a phone which is powered by kinetic power eh? so shake ur phone and it got power   

There is 1600mAh battery for N95 and N95 8G by China or Taiwan manufacturer, just that it will make your phone much thicker and uglier   

in this world sure gt those ppl who hav lots of money...n don noe how 2 use...
then ma buy exp things lo...money is nt the prob...

ha......... but tat people few only mar.

even they hav lots of money, i think they wont be look for this phone.  they will look for sumthing special like mobiado, vertu, etc.

Wow...ridiculous price...Izzit official price..?

hahaa... RM3800... can buy a new laptop for myself... spotted one from HP.. around same price... still considering...

hahaa... if can.. better have RM7600 (Rm3800 x 2) so can have both.... hahaa.. right? but when u have RM7600 u will consider about MacBookPro but not N96 or HP... Human never satisfied...

dun really go for tis hp if i got rm3800.... better to buy 1 n95 8gb(rm18xx) and 1 iphone(rm17xx)... still got rm2xx to date wit my gf.... wakaka

mmm...bout the online seller, it is not that reliable. even u can search for Xperia eventhough we all know it's still not in market.
but with one exception of one case of BlackBerry 9000 (that's still a mystery, u can check at CrackBerry...)
btw still got no news on N96 launch. usually mobile phones will be tied to contract with telcos in US and Europe, so the telcos will also play their role in promoting the phones. but still haven't heard of any news on N96.

Ok guys I tried 3 ppl already, claiming to have N96, all have the same modus operandi, they are from either UK or US, and they'd give ridiculous prices like USD350 for an N96, and they'd only want you to pay via TT or Western Union but all were cracked when I asked them one question:

" Do You have Nokia Aeon? "

they all said "Yes"

people would do anything for money, even here in LYN, search for this user's post:
