Title: Another powerful multimedia device from Nokia

Nokia has, technologically speaking, taken us to the Moon, when they introduced the N95 into the cellphone market. The phone is packed with so many multimedia and communication features it left almost no room for improvements. Well almost anyway. It also made me wonder what Nokia is going to come up with next for their flagship model.

The answer arrived around a year after the announcement of N95, although sadly, with the N96, Nokia didn't exactly taken us to Mars. Other than the way they look, I find it very difficult to tell the N95 and the N96 apart since the N96 is essentially an N95 under a different packaging.

For most cellphone users, it is very easy to overlook the added DVB-H receiver in the N96, which is only useful in countries where there's DVB-H broadcast. Considering the fact that this device uses the same battery as the N95, you may not want to use it to watch live TV so much as you may not have enough power left at the end of the day to make calls with it.

Also, the A-GPS feature found on the N96 is no different from the A-GPS that can be found on the N95 (with the updated software), but fortunately, the GPS receiver on the N96 is so much more sensitive than the N95's (like the N82 or the E71), so under normal conditions, it usually takes less than 20 seconds for the phone to pin-point exactly where you are.

The interface and graphic user interface of the N96 looks a bit like those of the N82, but with a few added layouts. Although not particularly useful, they do add to the appeal of the N96, if you do not find a rotating menu layout confusing to use. The accelerometer can be annoying if you are texting while laying down, as the screen tends to rotate while you type. Therefore, i usually keep the auto-rotate feature off.

Another thing to note about the N96 is that the screen turns off completely in standby mode, unlike the N95 or many of the other N series models. This feature can be a little annoying to some people as they will not be able to tell if there has been a missed call or there is a text message waiting to be read without activating the screen.

The built-in 16GB flash drive of the N96 is, oddly enough, a separate drive on the device. If you look at the harddrive directory of the N96, with a memory card loaded in the device, you will see a C drive, an E drive and an F drive. The C drive has about 61 MB of free space, which I suggest you leave alone because that's what the N96's operating system uses. The E drive is the 16GB flash drive, and the F drive is whatever memory card you put into the device. The N96 accepts 16GB MicroSD cards, therefore you can potentially end up with a device that stores as much data as a 32GB ipod touch.

However, this device is, even with a dual-processor architecture, somewhat of a slow device. If you load your phone up with over 4000 mp4 tracks (which you can take directly from your itunes library, which is great), it can take up to a few hours for the device to load the information of the songs into the music library. The situation is the same for every E series and N series I have used, which I guess is why Ipods and Iphones are still selling like hot cakes out there. All the video files you can play on Ipod plays on the N96 too, in case anyone is wondering.

File transfer speed is quite impressive compared to earlier N series models, as the N96's USB port now supports full-speed USB 2.0.

The 5.0 Megapixel camera is useful but not great, the JPEG compression leaves the files at around 700-900 Kb each, with enough compression artifacts to keep you from printing the pictures beyond A3 size. The Dual LED flash is more powerful than the N95, but falls behind N82's xenon flash. The video recording feature is the same as the N95, at 640x480 pixels and 30fps. Not bad considering that most phones still offer 320x240 pixels. The two stop shuttle button does take a bit of getting used to, as you really have to squeeze the button hard to perform auto-focus. On other N series models, all you have to do is gently depress the button to perform auto-focus.

The GPS, DVB-H and WiFi antennas are located in the back cover, and there is a tiny little spring loaded connector that sticks out from the back of the phone to connect it to the antennas. Therefore, it would be wise to keep the connector clean and keep the back cover from becoming damaged.

Title: Decent Phone, not worth full price

This is my first smartphone purchase, but I played around with several before buying. I bought the phone because it had everything I wanted, including unlocked and no touch screen. I hate touch screens. It has a ton of features I don't need, but, hey, you never know, right? I'll focus more on Cons because that's more valuable to a potential buyer.

Pros:
Has everything you could want in a phone. Camera is decent, but a standard point-and-click camera is better. Image display is good, and speaker quality is amazing! The phone OS is fairly customizable. Unlike many people, I don't have a problem with the power button nor shutter button. The product description does a good job citing the Pros.

Cons:
My biggest disappointment would be the materials used. They feel cheap. When the phone is slided-down and I'm in, for lack of a better word, "gaming-mode," I feel that I may break the phone in half. I'm an engineer, so I look for efficiency in building, and there is a lot of wasted space inside the phone. I think that with a little bit more time, they easily could have reduced the size, strengthened the case, or given more features, especially for it's cost. Buttons are a little small. Especially the square directional one on the front. Media controls are redundant, which annoys me. Not too many apps for Symbian S60 when compared to Android, Apple, and even Blackberry. Another big problem is the battery life. It is really annoying to need to recharge so often.
