Comment: Nok, nok, noking on Apples door? After along painful wait, the Nokia N96 is finally here. Much through we hate constantly banging on about the iPhone (we dont really), its arrival in the handset market send a rocket up the collective arse of rival ...

Good: Sensibly placed 3.5mm port, 16GB of storage space, Luxury design, It does everything

Bad: Fiddly navigation buttons, Operation can be very slow, The menus a mess, Rubbish PC software

Bottomline: If your phone must do it all, your handset must be the N96

Comment: Alt som finnes av tilgjengelig mobilteknologi er stappet inn i denne kraftpakken av en mobiltelefon. Så er den også bygget over samme lest som verdens mest testvinnende mobiltelefon, Nokia N95. Tøffere tiderMen når N96 nå er i butikk, elleve måneder et...

Good: 16 GB minne pluss minnekort, bra musikkspiller, bra kamera, stor skjerm, RDS-radio, WLAN, GPS, Turbo3G og dual slide. Bra samtalelyd. Høy kvalitetsfølelse.

Bad: Relativt stor. Glatte taster. Høyt strømforbruk. Høy pris.

Comment: On the face of it, not much has been added to the Nokia N96 to distinguish it from its predecessor, the N95 8GB (which beefed up the memory and changed the colour of the original, silver-clad N95). This time the sleek black liverys the same, but the m...

Good: 5 megapixel camera, A-GPS Sat Nav capability, 16GB memory, microSD slot, FM radio, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Symbian S60 smartphone capability, High quality video capture and playback, Good music player facilities including 3.5mm headphone jack, Large 16m colour s...

Bad: Plasticky bodywork, Not a huge upgrade from the N95, No touchscreen control

Comment: The Nokia N96 has a pretty hefty reputation to live up to. The N95 was a true powerhouse, and the finest converged device of its time. With a 5 megapixel camera, 3G data, the powerful S60 UI and eventually 8GB of internal memory there were few devices ...

Bad: It’s design is blah; the device is big and the materials are only ok, Keypad is pretty lousy, Side buttons can be hard to operate

Bottomline: On the whole we are impressed with the N96. It offers noteworthy upgrades to its forerunner, such as the DVB-H tuner and 16GB of internal memory with further expansion, and the design is also greatly refined. Running S60 Feature Pack 3 gives the N96 th...

Comment: Es ist schon erstaunlich: Telefon, Kalender, MP3- und Videoplayer, Internet, Navigationsgerät, Spielekonsole, Kamera und neuerdings auch Fernseher. Wie will man das noch toppen? Fest steht: Nokias N96 kann (nahezu) alles - nur drucken (noch) nicht. Nok...

Comment: Le N96 est enfin parmi nous ! Le smartphone de Nokia était attendu de pied ferme par tous les fans de la marque finlandaise. Se montre-t-il à la hauteur de l’attente suscitée ? Réponse dans ce test !...

Good: Qualité des vidéos capturées, Connectivité au grand complet (Wifi, Bluetooth)

Bad: Slider peu agréable à pratiquer, Photos perfectibles, Nokia N96

Bottomline: Avant de conclure ce test sur le N96, signalons tout de même que l’autonomie de ce smartphone nous a vraiment surpris. La batterie de 950 mAh peut laisser sceptique de prime abord mais l’OS et le chipset du mobile sont si bien optimisés que l&...

Comment: Anfang des Jahres auf dem Mobile World Congress waren wir vom Nokia N96 noch richtig begeistert, ein gutes dreiviertel Jahr später ist diese Begeisterung verflogen. Das N96 ist ein hervorragend ausgestattetes Smartphone fast ohne Fehler, doch von einem N95-Nachfolger erwartet man noch etwas mehr...

Comment: Last year, the Nokia N95 all-in-one multimedia Smartphone won the hearts of many mobile users with its intuitive two-way slide design, integrated GPS, 5-megapixel camera and support for high-speed mobile networks – HSDPA and WLAN. The flagship model ...

Bottomline: The Nokia N96 is a solid product with improved features, performance and stability compared to its N95 siblings. If you missed the N95 boat last year, the N96 will be just as good, if not, a better Smartphone to satisfy your multimedia needs. The Noki...

Comment: Its beefed-up spec list pushes up the on-board storage capacity to 16GB and adds Micro SDHC expansion to a formidable spread of functionality that includes Wi-Fi and HSDPA high-speed connectivity, A-GPS satnav technology, a five-megapixel camera with...

Bottomline: This phone can be slow during multi-app activity, and its battery life isn’t that impressive. But the N96 is undoubtedly a multimedia powerhouse with an exceptional spread of high-end functionality. While there are enhancements to the specifications...
