Nokia N96 US User Reviews

I've been using an N97 for a couple of months, and yeah, it's not much of an upgrade from the N95 than I had, except that the memory is doubled and there's an SD card slot.  Still, I loved the N95 and I love the N96. The phone has frozen twice, but I it was with the same game each time, so... an issue with the app.
I couldn't detect any slowness except for opening large apps.
Giving a "1" as a review is strangely bitter.  It seem like hate against Nokia rather than real product reviews.  I'm a little biased toward higher review numbers, but I basically only use the 97 for pictures, calls, and checking (not writing) email.

this phone is junk. it's not better than the N95 and it's slow. it lacks video acceleration. video recording is slow and choppy sometimes. the speakers aren't that loud. the reception the phones gets is poor. the battery dies really fast.

I upgrade my mobile from N93 to this N96 i likevery much this phone but lacking capacity of 93 in caseof photos and videothis phone is not as handy as 93.
rest is fine

I think these pepoles really hate nokia i used this phone their is no such kind of problems occur in my n96 its a great phone sepecially sound and video quality and in other words if anyone not in condition to buy this phone or financially down so the phone is out of reach and its cheap...........

People are too harsh on this phone. Yes, I bought it (as an upgrade from my N95-1), I liked it very much, but I took it back, sctrictly because of the keypad. I'm a huge texter, and it just wasn't working out. Other than that, the phone is excellent, a good "upgrade" over the N95.
It does need an 8mp camera, but you can't have everything you know...
Or can you?
N97 with 8mp camera (w/ xenon) and better keyboard?
Please, and thank you, Nokia.

i can easily understand why people here hate this phone. it's a load of junk. nokia isn't all that great to begin with. first of the wifi in this unit is very slow and short ranged, not only that under heavy data transfer load it fails miserably and restarts. the phone itself can't even handle itself. it's not worth the money and not worth having.

gross disgustin crummy useless replica of the n95. shame on nokia, shame
they remade the n95 in a different case
 

Very good comments, it says all what I noticed in N96, and the proof is that I searched phrase “N96 Slow” in Google, I wished I have seen this before purchasing N96!Adding to the above; N96 is slow in photo browsing, sound is poorer than N95 but louder (which is annoying to good listener) and music player slower pause/play, in general the phone is only look nice!Too late, I live in country with jungle rule, otherwise I was suing Nokia.

this phone lacks power. it's slow and that's annoying. when taking a picture the processing time is forever. and when starting up the vid cam that also takes forever. this phone is no gem. it's not even worth money you pay for it.

i can't help but say that this is a waste of money. the battery really really blows. it doesn't last. and i tried so much to extend it. this phone guzzles all the juice in its battery pack. and plus it's slow so that makes it even more annoying.

garbage garbage garbage. and more garbage from your one and only nokia. the mp3 player is slow and the talk time is low, this phone is all show and no go. this phone is not the best bang for your buck. i think it's worth a good 300$ no more and that's without contract. the picture quality is garbage, i mean older phones take better pictures. my previous motorola did a better job too.this is quite a half phone it gives everything in one little device and everything that's in it does a half job. i mean why bother making some thing like this in the first place. why not just make something that does the job right.
i get irritating static sounds from the receiver and the microphone doesn't do a good job capting my voice (i speak loud enough, so loud everyone looks at me as if i'm yelling)

i must say that this phone is not great. nokia still has the same problems in it that they have in the N95. this is disappointing. Nokia is one of the worst phone makers ever, they fail to acknowledge issues that customers report to them. i paid hefty cash for another piece of s**t made by No-f-ing-kia. once again they make asses of themselves.
