n96 is okay...but do check comparisons between n96 and n95 8gb and the price/performance ratio.

IF n96 is not too expensive than n95 8gb then maybe it would be a viable option. otherwise n85 is on the same price range...with a much diff display (amoled screen) but do take note that n85 would have a lower visibility in sunlight compared to n95 8gb..

depends on what u need now.. if u want to upgrade better to do it now because if wait there's always new phones comin out.

if u have the money to buy n96 then maybe u should look at Samsung
i8510 INNOV8.

i think u should read this whether u should upgrade or not..

http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n95_8gb-review-188.php

only n85 and n79 has fm transmitter...but n95/n95 8gb makes up for it with infrared..

fm transmitter...can use in car.. IRed can use to control tv or radio..have to use an app. didn't try it yet..i'll do it soon..

i think for nokia these 3 options are ok. n79, n82, n85 and n95 8gb.

for n82, the best cameraphone for nokia so far..the xenon flash is just brilliant. but watch out for batt life. u need to check other forums for that. n82 i think prone to having the silver colour part around the camera peel out. but it won TIPA award for best cameraphone..wow

for me i don't even use the built in 8gb much less 16 or 32gb microSDHC cards. yes u can upgrade the n95 to 16gb card, if you have the need for such big space.

so the built in 8gb for the n95 8gb is more than enough for me and personally i just like the look and style of the new n95 8gb compared to the old n95. plus it has bigger ram so that it wouldn't run out of memory and be sluggish in terms of running apps.

oh u convert and store movies...i see. so u need a bigger storage space..

well it comes down to personal opinions..either upgrade to 16gb microsdhc card for your current n95 and/or 5800 OR get a new phone.

fyi, i won't be getting SE or samsung as nokia is more widely used and i can use a multitude of compatible batt chargers where ever i am.

It is not turned on by default.
make sure you have the V30 or the latest v31 firmware



then go to Tools> Settings > General> Personalization> Display > in ROTATE SCREEN change from OFF to AUTOMATIC

Added on January 27, 2009, 8:16 pmYeah.. im so used to the functions of nokia s60 that i can't even go back using nokia's s40...

btw, you can check n95users forum about the usability of n95 with 16gb card. if im not mistaken it's running ok. n95 has better handling of the ram and battery life with the latest firmware.

still 16gb on a 5800 is also fine.

man do upgrade now..seriously.. better battery life and smoother operation in general. less hangs etc...

if i were you, i'd tell that "friend" to pay for the repairs... that's y i seldom give my phone to my friends ... i just hate it when they just do nothing when they're the ones who broke it

the 5800 is louder than n95 8gb? sure? because from what i heard it's about the same.

plus the 5800 3mp camera suxx compared to even 5610xm or n73 or 6500c

oh yeah...can ahem the v31 already or not? cause i updated already..

aiyo..your n95 8gb y got small white dot? ORI ar?

yeah.. about the loudness, i think n95 8gb is louder if not as loud as the 5800..

and camera wise ..yeah.. of course n95 will kick 5800's azz anyday..

n73 / 6500c > 5610xm > 5800xm these phones are all 3mp..

alaaa... before the firmware upgrade? not after? my loss..

maybe in a few weeks there will come out with a solution to ahem after fw upgrade?

i just want to ahem ngage... i jus bought this phone a month ago and never did try ahem the ngage when it was v30...now upgraded to v31 already..haiyo

what are the improvements anyways? i dont know

what happened to your n95's speaker?

hehe..yeah it's loud.. plus i would do the same if i were your.. i'll change the lcd too...

but the thing about sending phone for repairs is that it could easily get scratched...ap set usually face this problem.

thanks for the comparison...

so how's your phone now?
