A disappointing result from Nokia. When this phone was first advertised I thought this was a new way to see a mobile what with high speed internet, iPlayer on the phone and a massive 16GB memory. However the hype was exactly that a hype. This phone has more bugs, problems and is slower than any other phone of the same capacity I have found. The looks of the phone are mainly masculine with it being rather chunky and a little heavier than other phones out there I think of men or builders when I see this phone and what my little one has put it through it does seem to stay in tact even being launched across the room and being dropped multiple times ...  Read the complete review

I am not a techno person so when I was offered this phone on contract I took, it was easily persuaded with the list of gadgets and software it offered. Nokias best phone, it was eagily anticipated or so they say! Complete with 16 GB built-in memory, GPS satellite navigation, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, 3G video calling, and every other gadget you can think of, even and i Player with a cute little pull out stand. When I received it I was alittle disappointed as it was so big and manly and heavy! But I persisted with it, I tried to bond as much as I could! The phone is nice to look at, very stylish with a nice shiny black ...  Read the complete review

I have such conflicting feelings about this phone, but overall, im happy with it and what it does. Towards the end of my last phone contract with TMobile, rather then renewing, i thought id look around for a better deal. After some looking around online and wandering in the shops, i decided on the N96. I wanted something i could sync my emails/calendar etc to and something with a decent camera and usable web browser. Got a very good deal with Vodafone and i went home happy. The specs on the phone are very impressive; - 5 Megapixel camera - 16GB internal memory with a Micro SD slot to add an additional ...  Read the complete review

I've always been one to get the latest gadgets, I when this was announced I could honestly say I was excited for a bit of technology. I previously owned the N95, and was solely dissapointed when the 8GB version came out when I was only about 6months into my contract. The N96 is great on paper, a range of features ranging from the usefull to the useless (mainly being MobileTV which isn't available in the UK). The user experience is much different however. I had problems with the OS, and like the N95, felt very unfinished, running very slow and occasionally crashing while I was asleep. This was fixed partially by the updates which have to be downloaded through ...  Read the complete review

Well i received my Nokia N96 last week and i have just realized that the pic above looks nothing like the phone lol. First of all could i say my previous phone was the Nokia N81 so i will be making alot of references back to that phone. Also i apologise now if i start comparing it to the previous Nokia N series phones as those who have never owned one may get a bit confused however i will try to keep it as basic as possible. Anyway on with the review: *Receiving the phone through the post* The phone came in the standard Vodafone box( i ordered through Vodafone, if you didnt guess :p) with a picture on the Nokia N96 on ...  Read the complete review
