Nokia N96 Review

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 that could compete with it, and arguably no one could do it as well. Then along came a little device out of Cupertino and the cellular landscape changed. Not one to be reactive, Nokia has stuck to its guns with the retooled N96 and delivered an upgraded device that once again aims to sit atop of the mobile industry; improvements include 16GB of internal memory with microSDHC expansion and an integrated DVB-H tuner for mobile TV...

What are you talking about?
The n96 they used is not a clone, where does it say that?
The strokes on the keypad means that it is intended for Chinese input for the Asian market.
You do know that there is a huge Asian market that Nokia is targetting right? Millions of Nokia consumers in
Hong Kong alone.
The best way to tell the difference is that the clloned n96 do not operate under Symbian, and they have a big distorted "Nokia" branding on the front.

Are you naive or what?

Buy the N85.
The screen is better, lasts longer and is smaller.
It doesn't have TV, but only people with no life watch TV on the go.

Nokia is always weak on build quality. There is only one an exception and it is E71. In hardware MOTOs are best.
