which one would you choose?

[Mattwood]

what's the price difference? N96 = 16GB internal and external MicroSD slot.... also the N95 is at end of life with the release of N96....
both are Nokia's so your money will be better off in the bank.

[OrionT]

i choose saving in bank instead....but this kid got lot of money and if u really wanna waste ur money then buy N96

[Step666]

The N96 is going to be ridiculously expensive when it arrives.

If you're desperate for an S60 handset, I'd actually say the Samsung INNOV8 would be a better choice.

edit: ew, did I just recommend a Samsung?

dont worry about the money...he got loads of them

[devilwasabi]

N96 is already out here. it cost S$1200~1500. and N95 cost maybe S$710~1000. This is my reward for my year end exam, and i do not have a bank account yet

£460ish SIM free (is the price being batted about by some of the dealers I know) and they are available... (I have 2 pre-production units and 4 retail units behind me from a retail store as we speak)

[devilwasabi]

so which is a better choice?

[Mattwood]

previously stated neither of them

[devilwasabi]

then what phone would you recommend? i need WiFi to use Internet at home on my mobile, and 3.2 megapixel, with flash light. i don't really care about the design(i mean candybar/slider or calmshell) And i prefer SE or Nokia, and if nokia, i want Symbian as well.

If they're available, how come there isn't already a price?

Also, £460 still makees it higher than the INNOV8 - it's £400 SIM-free.

[devilwasabi]

or should i stick to SE, but SE phone are getting boring. for X1, i do not have internet, C905, screen ain't very big, and newer SE phones alot problem recently, like my dad's C902, mum's W910, bro's K850

get the N95 8GB. coz N95 8GB is really better than N96 coz the N96 its still dosen't have the 3D hardware accelerator and it dosent support N-gage gaming and N96 has a slower Cpu and its running at a New Platform. i bet i will hang very often.

secondary CIF videocall camera
- 3.5mm audio output jack
- 8GB internal flash memory
- Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, UPnP technology
- 2.8" TFT 16M colors display

Disadvantages of N95 8GB:
- No TV broadcast receiver
- microSD card slot removed
- Symbian OS 9.2, S60 rel. 3.1(its quite old Symbain platform)


Nokia N96:
- it have Accelerometer sensor for Auto-Rotate

Disadvantages:

- Slower CPU speed
- it will lag due to the new platform and its slower CPU

go for N95 8GB =) cheap and good

[Mattwood]

There is an install file within the applications folder for the N96 which installs NGage...
in the UK the outer sleeve the box comes with is banging on about NGage games for the N96 and has a code for Tetris...

Also with UK handsets you have iPlayer software installed so you can catch up with BBC TV shows....


The N96 DOES NGAGE!

[thewok5]

but it dosen't have 3D Hardware Accelerator

[devilwasabi]

then what does 3D Hardware Accelerator do?

Think of it as a graphics card in a computer. Lets to run 3d apps at higher frames.

[devilwasabi]

ok so what's the answer? :/

[lawrencep93]

Just get the n96 i would.
don't listen to matwood there both very good phones

[thewok5]

yea. the bad thing about the N95 8GB is just an a bit older platform and the design.

if the N95 8GB is Symbian 9.3, xenon flash, hang and lag free, im sure everybody will go for it
