N96 Mobile TV
Someone PLEASE HELP, I use the Mobile TV at work and we do have the digital transmitters in Hungary, everything was fine until now I cannot find any program guides, when I go SETTINGS I make RECORDING TIME RESERVE to anytime but it changes the REMINDER ALARM to those minutes, and if I try to change the REMINDER ALARM the mobile tv just shut down.
I have done soft and HARD reset, I spent 22 days now trying to fix this and even tried a backup from 2 years ago, NOTHING WORKS, anyone PLEASE tell me how to REINSTALL mobileTV or how to fix this PLEEEEEEASE!!!
Thanks to anyone who can help!
I am guessing you are based in the UK... If you are, then you won't find the application because you cannot use the TV abilities of the phone as the DVB-H format is not supported in the UK. You can watch some limited programs on Vodafone Live.
There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

N96 is not recogniZed by my PC - please HELP!
hi,
please can someone help me.
have just bought a nokia N96 mobile and have used the cd that comes with the phone to install ALL the programmes etc. into my PC.
however, i have a problem.
when i reach the stage whereby i connect the phone to the pc using the usb cable - it doesn't recognize the phone at all. i do not understand what the problem could be because all the programmes required for this phone has all been installed successfully.
also, the phone has the pc suite mode selected. have done all that i can think of, yet my pc does not recognize my phone.
if you can help, greatly appreciated.

Mobile TV on N96 broken?
Hi there!
My N96 doesn't show mobile tv anymore!
Since a couple of days before christmas it won't connect to the provider.
I've got a valid subscription for it (24 months for free at KPN, Netherlands).
I called the technical support of the provider but they couldn't find a solution so far.
When I try to start the application (standard Nokia mobile tv app) it does everything it has to do except starting the connection.
Trying to renew my subscription gives me errorcode '-30342' and once I received '-3' and '-1' (last two could be a lack of connectivity).
A hard reset doesn't work, resetting the app doesn't work and my provider could tell me when I tried to renew the subscription (so it does send the messages).
So everything works... but my N96 just doesn't accept the renewed subscription of the provider(?).
So... throw out your ideas and I'll try them out here!
djpdjpnlHi,
I have no subscription for mobile tv channels, but there are 2 free channels being broadcasted in my city. I was able to view them when i had V10. When i updated to V11, it stopped working. I gave up trying to fix it because i couldnt find any solution. Didnt dare to update to V12 because it apparently didnt fix the TV problem and it comes in addition with terrible battery drainage problem.

Record Programs in Mobile TV on N96
How I can record Programs in Mobile TV on N96? Is there any Software for it?
The Mobile TV application itself can record programs.
Don't ask me how - I no longer have an N96 and there's no DVB-H in my country anyway...

Hi
I recently unlocked my N96 via the lovely people from t-mobile.
I wanted to know if there is anyway to upgrade my phone to the latest firmware.
I'm currently on 12.xxx something.... the upgrade software tells me that I have the latest update for this particular t-mobile branded phone.
Wanted to know if there is a way round it?
Many thanks!By unlock I presume you mean you have applied the network unlock code to remove the sim bar
Unfortunatly this does not affect your ability to update the firmware as your phones product code is still tied to t-mobile and there release schedule
Your only legitimate route is to contact t-mobile and get there written permission to have the phone de-branded, then take this to a nokia care point who will use official software to change the phones product code, replace the label under the battery and enable you to update
any other method you may read about on the internet will void your warenty and cannot be discussed here -
*N96* MSN Messenger and live mobile on N96

I have the same phone and also on the Three network.
I managed to track down an older version of the app to use, but im not sure if it will be regarded as having "free" use by Three and your need the internet addon to save cash.
Got a download link here for you.

How to find my own mobile number on N96
How do i find my own phone number on the N96? I have an old sim card and do not know the phone number for it. I cant ring another phone as it has no credit. Thanks
I don´t know for sure if there is a way to do it yourself if your own number isn´t within the contacts, but what you can do for sure is go or call the operator and tell them the SIM card number. With that they´ll be able to tell you the phone number.
If you do manage to sort this out by yourself let us know.
By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

PARENTAL CODE 4 n96 dstv mobile
pls av tried out d 12345 lock code bt stil am unable to watch some few channels.anytime i insert d code,d tv js automatically closes...Y?pls help
you will have to contact the developers of the application, as this is a user to user forum for Nokia products and services only. However, since it is such an old app (and even if it is part of bundled software with the N96 when you bought), support for this model and the application may have ended at your local Nokia Care a long time ago.

Nokia N96 - A long review!
The Nokia N96 Long Review by Jupstejuho
v. 1
(Please notice that this is the first published version so I will
be making this much longer a bit later if you just want me to do so)
In this case I have only reviewed the phone's main software
things, not many of its good-too features.
--> A BIT INFO -->
Firmware used: Unbranded Scandinavian v11, upgraded to that from v10 wich was originally branded
Phone used: Elisa Finland network branded, simlocked Nokia N96-1
Operator used: Elisa Finland
Memory card used: 512MB (have not actually even touched it as the 16GB has been fine for me
More settings used: Screen brighness set to full 100%, display light set to disappear after
30 seconds of inactivity, Online mode always on. Screensaver set to none.
1. THE FIRST WORDS
OK, as all of the active Nokia people around the internet already know, there
are many reviews in the internet considering about the famous, all-new Nokia
N96 smartphone. It is a new part of the Nokia´s 3rd generation phone series,
the N-Series. The Nokia's N-Series is a quite big group of some really good
phones using much more advanced technology than the previous camera phones
that Nokia, and many other well-known phone companies have made. That is the
Nokia's N-Series in short. But, I am not writing this long review for all you
Nokia-People to just tell you what Nokia N-Series is, you basically did not
come here to read about that. I am writing this because I want to show you
my first feelings about the Nokia N96. I hope you have time to read the whole
review
2. ABOUT THE PHONE'S DESIGN, LOOK ETC. ALL ITS OUTSIDE-SEEING THINGS
So let's start from the usually first things that most people want to know
about a phone before buying it, the phone's ergonomy. The Nokia N96 feels
really, really good in my hand. Althought the phone seems to be quite big,
it fits in almost anybody's hands really well. It is not so thick, comparing
to my good old Nokia N91. And that impressed me pretty much. The phone is
relatively wide, but does not weight much (about 120 grams). The phone's
outlook is something I like, it is somehow much like the Apple's iPhone
within its big screen and black'n'white and grey colours. But, I was very
sad when I actually realized the biggest mistake made in the phone's
design. Its outer casing is actually made from cheap plastics, wich leads
to the very unliked feature... The Nokia N96's cheap plastics are in all
only not good-looking, but also really effective fingerprint magnets! The
phone's outer casing takes fingerprints really easily, and you can see
them very well in a bright sunlight, that is something I really hate. But,
that is luckily the only problem on the phone's design, I think. Just that
the phone's front side is quite widely crowded with many buttons. I really
like the phone's frontside's media button, as it reminds me of my good
old Nokia N91's Musicmenu-key. It is surrounded with the play/pause, stop,
forward and backward keys, and the already-known menu key, C-key (also known
as the backspace key) plus the green & red answering keys and the two
softkeys. All this is has been made to fit around the phone's joystick,
wich also had to include the handy Naviwheel option, but they removed it from
the software, wich is sad in my opinion. They have removed the handy
pen-key, wich formerly worked pretty well as a shortcut for many nice
programs that i used to play around with my old Nokia N91, that is sad but
I guess they had a good enough reason for removing the key.
>>> To the phone itself, features etc.
3. PHONE'S USER INTERFACE IN ALL
The Nokia N96 uses the same OS that almost all N-Series devices use, the
Symbian S60 3RD. But this time it is not just that. The Nokia N96 is one
of the first phone's to get the new, famous Feature Pack 2 (FP2). A feature
pack is like the "Microsoft Service Pack" for phones. Just that you cannot
upgrade any NON-FP/FP1 device to FP2 unless you really are an employer of
Nokia, and that the Feature Packs are for phones, not for computers
Symbian S60 3RD is the 3rd edition of the famous Symbian OS for phones,
wich has all the features that are required in order to say that a phone
is REALLY a Smartphone. OK, I am now comparing the FP2 Nokia N96 to my old
Pre-FP1/Non-FP1 Nokia N91. The phone's standby screen is pretty much the
same. Just that you can also set the standby screen to be in 3 different
modes. No active standby at all (The old S60 style), the normal already
known active standby row of 6 different program shortcuts and a new
arrangement, the one that is more complicated. It has the icons in the right
side of the phone's standby/idlescreen and you choose the icon and you see
its features at right side. Anyways, I chose the good old S60 3RD arrangement
as it is not too complicated for me. Going to the phone's menu is easy, you
just press the menu-key and that's that. The taskmanager is renewed, this
time it is horizontal and looks better (I guess they have made the idea from
the nice IQ AltTab program wich I used to use with my old Nokia N91. Yeah,
well pretty much nothing has changed. The phone's messages application has
been also renewed... It now has only 2 message types: Text Message and Sound
Message. If you want to send somebody a MMS wich contains a sound clip,
that means you have to choose the Sound Message-option. If you want to send
a normal SMS, or an MMS wich contains picture or video etc, you have to
choose the Text Message-option. Just choose that and write your message.
If you only add text into that, you are sending a normal SMS automatically.
Add any MMS-content in it and it will automatically be an MMS message.
That is a quite nice new feature. The phone also has a new Themes-application
and its icon has been removed from the phone's menu! You can get to it by
setting up an active standby shortcut for it but it will take you straight
to the Active-Standby Themestyle option wich is a part of the Themes
application. The phone still lags pretty much, as it is brand new.
The same problem was with the Nokia N95 when it first came. I guess the
phone does not have so much features that the Nokia N95 does not have.
Well that's all about that.
4. MEDIA COMPLETION
The Nokia N96 is advertised as a Videoplayer phone. That is true, but that
was not the reason why I bought the phone. The phone can play MP4, 3GP and
surprisingly they are advertising that the phone can also play WMV9 videos.
That is actually true, but the phone did only play the video's sound, not
the video itself Well that is OK for me as I do not have a reason for
playing WMV videos with my PHONE. The phone can also of course play music
but supports only a little amount of filetypes. Pictures are (surprise,
surprise) supported too.
4.1 DVB-H
One of the phone's new main features is the DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting
Handheld) receiver. That means that you can watch digital television wherever
that is available. Here in Finland we can only receive DVB-H signal in the
big cities (luckily I live in Oulu and I can receive DVB-H signal in here...)
But I would be pleased if I could be able to see that signal in places like
cars, trains, planes and ferries but that is not gonna be possible ever,
because only a really small amount of phones have the DVB-H and hardly anybody
watches it. I do not look it unless I have a good reason as it takes a lot
battery. You can also record DVB-H and schedule recordings, that means you
actually have a recording television receiver in your pocket But I do not
have any reasons to do such a thing.
4.2 VIDEOS
The phone, as I said earlier, is being advertised as a pocket-sized video
player. The phone has some pre-loaded factory videos (Some advertising
videos and 1 Transformers Movie). I tested DivXPlayer and it played
small video files (like 100-200MB) really well but when I tested a 350MB
TV-Series episode, it lagged all the time after playing it for 2 minutes.
I also tested CorePlayer and Smartmovie and they both had the same problems
except that the CorePlayer played the file hardly for 2 seconds and started
lagging. But I converted the same file with SmartMovie converter to a 80MB
file and it had much worse quality but still it played with no lagging at
all You can also convert any video to a .3GP or .MP4 file but I guess
that it is better to play your video files with SmartMovie or DivXPlayer.
The videos captured with the phone's camera are relatively big, a 4minutes
long video with the best possible quality that the camera has, is over
50MB big. Oh, and one more thing: I just also realized that the phone
supports Winamp Remote really well. Just for all of you who are not familiar
with the Winamp Remote: Winamp Remote is an application wich lets you watch
any videos from your computer´s hard drive over an internet connecton with
quite high quality. I tried that and I was amazed that it worked. Althought
you have to put the flash player as default way playing the video, because
it laggs too much when watched using the Real Player. Oh, and that brings
one another thing to my mind: The Nokia's default web browser now also
supports Flash videos I tried youtube and it worked pretty well. And,
as I said earlier the Winamp remote Flash Videoplayer also was able to play
my PC´S videos So, Nokia N96 is good for what it is originally meant for:
PLAYING HIGH-QUALITY VIDEOS ANYWHERE, ANYTIME whenever you need to do so.
4.3 MUSIC
The phone has music keys and I just love them. But the music player is not
anymore being started automatically when the phone is being started and
that means you have to manually put it on if you want to be able to use
the music buttons for playing music. That sucks. The phone has really nice
stereo speakers and they are very loud and I just love them. The earphones
supplied with the phone are really, I mean REALLY bad. They suck, but with
20-40 € you can get some good earphones like KOSS. They have also removed
an old really nice feature. The phone always lists the newest added music
tracks to a list, but you cannot anymore add the newest tracks easily to
another self-made playlist. That is what I hate as I used to do that with
my old Nokia N91. :@ That sucks, I don´t know why on earth they made such
a change in the Music Player. Quality of the music played with good
earphones is quite amazing. But also playing music eats the battery as fast
as a worm diggs itself into mud, you cannot play the music so long time,
but as I am not a music freeak that does not matter so much to me (I prefer
listening to .XM keygen music with my computer and Logitech speakers) But
I can also listen to Keygen music with the LCG Jukebox, I have done that
once for real at school and I just loved that as it made me more creative
at the arts lesson
4.4 PICTURES/CAMERA
The phone has a 5MP camera with a LED flash and a red LED light
to "help" with taking videos The phone takes really good images
especially when the phone's flash is used. It can take amazingly good
pictures even when there is no sunlight at all The flash is really
amazing. I don´t know why, but I even think that it takes better pictures
at night comparing to the pictures taken at daylight. Umm, I guess you
can use the phone as a camera in emergency situations when you need to
be able to take a picture of a good situation. The front camera wich is
intended for Video calls takes really awful pictures when there is not
enough light, especially the videos ARE JUST AWFUL but that is just because
who would use the front camera to take pictures of anything else (just for
testing purposes and taking some stupid images of yourself Um, and yeah I was
surprised about that, but it does not matter at all anymore Taking videos
with the 5MP camera at the back is nice because they have quite good quality!
But they are also relatively big and I guess that is one more feature that sucks,
as the video quality is not too good! One more new and really nice feature is
that you can set the phone to automatically save the location where the picture
was taken into the picture's metadata and view the location in the Nokia Maps
application. Almost all photos that I have took with my phone have a "geotag".
5. NAVIGATING/GPS
The Nokia N96 also has a GPS receiver with A-GPS support. I was first surprised
that the phone really knows where you are in just 10 seconds or a bit more. But
when I noticed that it is only caused because the phone has A-GPS and I had set
it on. And what is so bad about that? The A-GPS does not know where you are so
specifically, the accuracy in A-GPS is almost everytimes something like 100
meters so using the phone as a navigator is not so good but I guess it is just
fine for me! The phone has 1 year navigating license for the Nokia Maps application
(wich BTW sucks), but I prefer Garmin wich is better in all ways But while I
was testing navigating in the car, it was working fine. When Garmin said that
"waiting for better GPS signal", it only took about 5 seconds for it to already
show me that it had a full signal with 5-10m accuracy! Yum that is going to be
a nice feature because I am going to use it while travelling at Europe next summer.
Navigating is much, much better comparing, for example to the Nokia E90 and
some external Bluetooth GPS receivers. I am pleased that I know that I am always
carrying a really powerful GPS navigator in my pocket, and it is ready whenever
i just need it to be used
6. N-GAGE/GAMES
Nokia N96 also has pre-installed Tetris and an activation code for that is being
given with the phone (wich BTW WAS NOT WORKING FOR ME!). I installed brothers
in arms AND IT LAGGED LIKE A HELL?! What the hell is the problem with that, they
did not add a 3D Accelerator chip to the phone and they are still advertising
it as a "Good N-Gage gaming phone" Haha, I just shall laugh about that. I guess
I WILL NOT BE USING THE PHONE FOR GAMING THEN. So overall, if you did not already
understand my opinion about the Gaming features in the phone: DO NOT THINK THAT
THE PHONE IS GOOD IN GAMING... Also, tried Vampent´s vNes and it was not able
to start emulating (it was when I tried with my Nokia N91! Well, also the joystick
is a limitation wich makes it nearly impossible to play games with the phone.
It actually isn´t a joystick at all (they do not even advertise it to be that
I liked my old Nokia N91's joystick as it was really nice for playing games! But
playing games like Tetris should be fine. Also I will be going to try playing
games with the numeric keys, maybe that will be fine ;D
7. THE 16GB MEMORY + SDHC Memory Card place with hotswap support!
Yep, that´s true. I was first really impressed when I heard that the Nokia N96
has a HUGE 16GB memory and also A SDHC memory card spot. That was one of the
main reasons why I really said myself: If I am going to buy a phone, it will
definitely be the Nokia N96 unless something REALLY impressive will become
to the markets. I put my favorite tracks and kept almost all of the factory-loaded
videos in the phone and I still have a bit over 10GB free space (I also took about
hundred photos) not even mentioning that I also have installed Garmin Mobile XT
with all European maps to the phone (also Navicore and TomTom, they just weren´t
working and I was too lazy to be able to remove them or try solving why they
weren´t working) They are advertising that the phone can take up to 40 hours
of good guality video. Yeah that is just amazing and it is true too. Borrowing
to one guy's words who has been showing the N96 prototype at youtube: "So you
really, really have enough space on this phone" That is so true. I just wonder
what the hell I am going to do with all that 10GB left space ;D
8. A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE BATTERY LIFE
Many have complayed about the Nokia N96 battery life. I cannot understand why!
It has better battery life than in by Nokia N91. Two listed examples by me:
* I just charged the phone at around 7pm. I went to sleep and the clock was about
10pm. Before that, I decided to put a 1 hour long TV episode to a scheduled
recording. The phone did that very well. And I was surprised that when I looked
at the phone's battery state: It showed me that it had 100% full battery life!
And it kept there until I watched the whole 1 hour episode, then it still had
6 bars left of the 7 bars maxium. Pretty impressive.
* I put the phone to charge itself a few minutes before I went to sleep.
At morning I went to school. At there I watched TV episodes using Winamp
Remote for about 30-45 minutes. Then I listened to .XM keygen music with
LCG Jukebox for about 2 hours! Also I was playing with the phone a bit more
time too. When I went to home, it had something like 2 or 3 bars left. That
is not a very good example but that is already enough for me, and the
phone has had much better battery life after this case
---> [OVERALL REVIEWING] ---
* The Nokia N96 is a good mediaphone but it is also enough
good to be used as an officephone. The stereo speakers,
DVB-H, GPS and a good camera, 16GB mass memory and a
SDHC memorycard slot... That is just everything I would
ever want from a phone! But all this comes with a price
wich will make most people just dream about the phone,
or buying it from an operator with a cheap price like
I did. Even thought the firmware is buggy, I can still
recommend the phone for anybody who likes to have a
good-looking phone with all possible mediafeatures!
The phone is still buggy but that was with the Nokia N95
too. I cannot understand why people are saying that
"Nokia N95 is soo much better and looks better..." that
is so not true. The N96 beats N95 hands down! And overall,
the phone would be too perfect if it would not have bugs,
all new phones have bugs! Think about the iPhone, it was
not even able to send a MMS message but it has been enabled
in the new firmware update. Also iPhone has been buggy when
it first came but it has been improved much. The same will
100% surely happend with the Nokia N96 too! They already
have released v11 wich has made my phone a bit faster too
+ A big screen with bunch of colours!
+ 5MP camera takes good quality photos
+ GPS finds location fast with the A-GPS feature
+ Really good stereo speakers!
+ Supports WMV
+ The phone is not too thick and it is smaller than N95
+ The phone just looks sooo good!
+ 16GB memory + A SDHC memorycard slot!
+ The phone's 1-9 keys are nice and they can be easily pressed even
thought they are really flat! Writing with the phone is fast
+ The phone just looks so good!
+ DVB-H with scheduled recording and awesome quality!
+ Battery life is just enough!
- The GPS is fast but mostly not accurate except at outside
- Music-Player no longer gives an option to add a freshly added
music track to another playlist I have to find all the
freshly added tracks manually from the All tracks-section if
and when I want to add them to a nice playlist
- The front camera has a really bad picture and video quality
- The software in the phone still has many bugs
- A fingerprint magnet & Cheap plastic materials
- Price!
- OH, the gaming features just suck

Current phone: Nokia N96, Elisa Finland Network Branded, v11 Unbranded Firmware [MADE IN FINLAND] Product Code: 0573582Um, yes I can (BTW, nice that there are other N96 likers too, as I am also very surprised that there are so many haters )
You can get Winamp Remote from here: http://www.winamp.com/player/free-download-full?lang=en-us When you install it, choose Winamp Remote as a part of the installation. You can get more help from the Winamp Forums. Winamp Remote should be easy to use, but if you need more help ask from the Winamp Forums or PM me (One of the main things is that you have to have ports forwarded fine, that is quite hard to explain but go to: www.portforward.com and follow their instructions meant just for your router, I am not sure that do they have instructions just meant for Winamp Remote but if you are lucky enough you just should be able to do the tricks in half an hour )
DivXPlayer is available at here: http://labs.divx.com/system/files/private/DivXPlayer_S60_3rd_0.sisx AND PLEASE NOTE that DivxPlayer takes so much memory that it CANNOT PLAY FILES OVER 200MB. I tried a 150MB DivX .AVI video and it played very well but I tried a 350MB DivX .AVI video and it lagged like a hell. You can use Lonely Cat Games (LCG) SmartMovie to convert about 350MB file to a 80MB file with just fine enough quality. I know that talking about "illegal" things is forbidden in here but just a small tip: Find a good Mobile Phone stuff forum, they are giving some good and CR@CKED applications for free (normally they are asking huge prices for them) There are dozens of good mobile forums just waiting for somebody who needs all that stuff For example the SmartMovie will put the video's image grey after two minutes (if you have converted the video with that tool) of playing it. But just some little googling and you are fine to go But supporting software studios is also important, so if you just have enough money I really suggest that you buy all your softwares!

How to delete an image from bluetooth in Nokia N96...
I am using Nokia N96. I received some images from a freidn via bluetooth and i have transfered them to my PC. I need to delete the images in my Nokia phone but it seems not working. Please advice me how to delete these images? coz teh Option DELETE is not working here.
Thanks a lot!hi El_Loco
I received the images via bluetooth. Then I connect my Nokia N96 to my PC at home. I cut and pasted the images from the mobile folder to my PC. (If I cut and paste, by right the images should have been gone from the mobile phone memory..is that correct?) However, after I disconnect my Nokia from my PC, the images are still in my Inbox folder.
The wierd thing is: The name of teh file is still there, but I cannot open them, and when I tried to delete them, there is a message: General: Already in use !
So..it looks like because I cut and pasted from my PC, there was some errors in the Nokia phone? The file names are there, but I can no longer open them and nor delete them. -
N96 Problems!!!
Just yesterday I had the opportunity to upgrade the firmware to V12!!!
The thing is that during the update (using NSU), there was a problem twice and after that I managed to install the new firmware.
Now the thing is that this morning I found the mobile off. At first I thought that it died or something since it did not switch on, but then I put it on charge and it switched back on. Thanks God.
Why has this happen, I mean the phone was fully charged before the updating the firmware!!
Another thing is that now the '#' is not working to put the phone on silent or general!!
Plus there were some that stated that after you install FM V12, and then you restart the phone, there would be an increase of about 150mb or something like that in the phone memeory. I saw nothing increase, except that all the memory left remained the same as it was before.
Lastly, I once opened a thread and noone answered. The thing still happens. It is that sometimes when I would be using the phone, I hear 'Bongo' style noise. Can someone please enlighten me with why and what I hear them for!!!??
Any help would be appriciated.
Thank you.The reason why your phone was off is becuase if you did software update day before then that would have drained most of your battery resulting in the morning the phone being off.
v12 has some issues regarding the "#" button as other users have had problems with theirs aswell. This is a firmware bug so dont worry. Just wait til new update is released and available on NSU and that shall fix your "#" problem.
For the 150MB it depends really on the firmware variant and what you have stored on the Phones C: (Internal Memory). For the firmware variant each firmware is same apart for you know Orange, 3, T-Mobile each network have their own Themes, Wallpapers, Clip Arts, Sounds embedded into the firmware thus it ends up in the phones Internal Memory (C
Also new firmware come embedded with latest NGAGE, Nokia MAPS that also takes up the internal 150MB down by some MB's.
Hope that helps

N96 Problems and disspointment
I have been evangelical about the quality and service of nokia phones since i had my first analogue device in early 1990's - which is a loooong time to be a fan of one company. My n95 was great , i didn't get the newer 95 as i didn't like the lack of camera cover and the lack of card port and the new flagship device was on way.
The n96 has no camera cover so the lens gets scratched rapidly - YOU HAVE TO GET A CASE OR COVER - even then it gets scratched very quickly same as the N95 8 gig ( even with the non belt looped nokia case)
The pencil button has dissapeared so you now cannot quickly change modes when using any charactor based applications , it is now hidden in a menu !!!!???? .
The actual device has a few problems if you use it for much other than toys. From looking at symbion forums these are mostly resolved with the 11.1 firmware update BUT we can't get it - most of these relate to data transfer from usb but also the internal data storage transfer which is at best unreliable .
The camera by the way takes lower quality pictures than the N95 original but takes as good quality video ( with a far higher capacity) bear this in mind if you get one. Also buy direct from Nokia - the service provider crippling on the N96 effectively makes it into a very pretty brick. None of the application I use on my 95 ( generic nokia symbion) work on the n96's i have ( 3 so far for me on VF but my friends have been through 3 or 4 each this week on other networks)
All in all I am a long last disappointed with a nokia flagship product - ordinarily the flagship nokia device has no competitors - the N96 has many and if you want something specific then it is likely that one of them can do it far better. I hope this isn't the death of Nokias flagship. It was far easier not to have to think and just buy the newest Nokia as one knew it was in a class of its own - the n96 is only just able to apply for the top class now rather than being alone.

It takes me less than a second to rip the velcro and pull my phone out and click open the shutter protector, its the software that takes longer to load up! but thats a minor bug. Thats why I use a Samsung i6 Digimax just because it starts up so fast. Adding a Neoprene (other spellings available)case even with custom holes cut would raise the surface area over the lens halping to protect it but nothing beats a full cover with fast velcro access, but if it has holes cut it wont stop possible KEY DAMAGE or COIN damage. I recommend using a crystal case as well if they are out yet just because ive dropped my N95 so many times on concrete or hard floor they are so cheap £4 1st I broke the face cover but the important thing is "It did bot break the phone or the screen!" and the rear of the crystal case I still use and it's taken a beating! all for £4, In my boring Creative Labs grey velcro case I've got a layer of Radiation and RF proof material to stop any immediate signals pulsing near my leg or precious eggs available here http://www.handy-fashions.com/indexE.html . I never put my phone in my normal front pockets due to FLUFF, KEYS, COINS, irradiating my eggs! did you know that school kids in science get 2 mobiles and put them either side of the EGG and get one to call the other and the white of the egg goes hard!! :/ but thats for another story I digress, There's some nice full cover gadget cases out there, on amazon theres a "Case Logic" mini harddrive case, these look like theyd fit an N96 quite well, and check the Sony Shops for gadget cases and PC World but check the sizes first before you buy, if you want a small front pocket phone dont get an N96, its so easy to break a screen i cant tell you, i broke my Iriver 40GB players screen by foolishly putting it in a coat pocket that was not zipped up, leaving it flapping by is own weight, it pinged a pole just walking onto a bus and it was ruined and no gadget insurance either!, so unless you use combat trousers like i do with big side pockets, you need to put it in your back pack or where ever you stash your precious gadgets.
