Could not wait to get my hands on the Nokia N96 ... What a let down. I have changed it three times but still the same ... Slow, freezes constantly and battery life is terrible. In the photo menu, pictures take an eternity to appear and if you forget to canx menus the whole thing slows down. Speakers are very tinny and sound is average to say the least. Strongly recommend you forget it., believe me, I am doing you a favour.

The Nokia N96 could be a great phone. Loads of features. Big range of apps - QuickOffice very useful, iPlayer potentially great. Very good screen for video and large memory. Music player very handy. But really buggy with Vodafone firmware. Faults in bluetooth, and occasionally crashes.

I owned a Nokia N96 for 3 months and although I am quite technically minded, this was by far the most unreliable Nokia phone I have ever had the dis-pleasure to own. Rather than being an all-singing-all-dancing SMART phone it simply did not work effectively i.e. constantly crashing, poor battery life, abysmal reception and very slow. I have always owned Nokia phones, but come on Nokia at least get the basics right. I have since changed to a Nokia E51 which is fantastic. ...

It is a shame that the Nokia N96 phone is disappointing as there is not much out there which is better than the N95 in terms of Nokia. I rally like Nokia but feel they have let themselves down. I was really looking forward to this phone and was told that all the glitches had been rectified which was does not appear to be the case. The phone does not like anyone with fast fingers and seems to ponder off tasks set. Not the phone for me.

Easy to read, good display... Not good value for money at all though for me. Bring back the 6310i please. My N96 phone simply adores locking up/ freezing. Cannot handle any demanding applications. Battery life very inadequate for a phone in this category. Will not deal with, or even consider bluetooth jobs. On my second N96 within 8 weeks, which is currently in for repair.

This phone looks good and has great options with a beautiful camera and music player. But there is a downside. The phone is slow and sometimes i have to take out the battery because it doesn't do anything anymore. The navigation key doesn't really work good enough. For average users the battery will be good enough. I have to charge it every two days. But I thinks that's no problem.

The N96 appears to have a generic software fault in that when listening to music on headphones and a text is received the phone shuts down. This was exactly the same on all 4 handsets I received. They appear to have software faults that are not fixed by the standard update from Nokia.

Orederd this direct from Nokia, pre-released at a whopping £535. Worst £535 I have ever spent, the phone appears to be un-tested with so many glitches. At first glance, loads of useful applications for the world wide traveller. Constantly locks up / freezes. Becomes unusable if asked to do anything.

It is a masterpiece This is on amazing phone. If the battery life is not that durable one must understand that this phone can do every thing a PC can do and sometimes ever better... Well recommend Nokia N96.

Totally unacceptable stability for a high end phone. If multi tasking apps the phone WILL lock up without exception! When used with blue tooth head set then the situation is worse. Nokia are unhelpful in providing answers as to why their firmware update doesn't work on unbranded UK phones, despite acknowledging these faults exist. This isn't a case of a bad handset. I've exchanged it four times due to various faults. All of them would lock when blue tooth used. I was a big fan of the N95 and r ...

Unlike some of the reviewers here, I have owned the phone for a few weeks now, not a first play with it in a shop. It was from Vodafone off my dads contract, the phone was £280 and my dad even got a C905 free! Unbelievable. The phone is excellent quality, nice to see it is made in Finland (country Nokia was founded in), whereas other brands are moving production to China, such as sony ericsson. The design is quite slick, the buttons are all flush unlike the raised ones on the N95. It is v ...

Gps, which I think is awsome and realy usful to me. The 5mp camera 16gb internal memory! Normal jack for headphones: I hate needing to attach sumthing to my phone then attaching them to that. I like and I well recommend the Nokia N96, to anyone willing to spend that much.

I got the N96 yesterday and I must say it's splendid! It's faster than my N95 and the camera is also a lot better. Also the clarity of the speaker and where the headphone jack is place are just where they are meant to be! Only grudge is they've rearranged the menu :( but of course you can change that! Other than that it's an awesome phone! Ahssan P.s. The navi wheel is cool!
