Nokia N96 review

When the specs of Nokia N96 were first leaked to the net, I thought it was a pretty boring phone.




After all, more then a year has passed since the introduction of Nokia N95 handset, and the only improvement that N96 had to show - was some added memory and DVB-H tuner…. Duh

During Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week, I had an opportunity to check it out live. And I have not changed my opinion - Nokia N96 is boring.

However, I had an epiphany while playing with Nokia N96. It turns out, that except for us geeky/blog newsy types, boring is actually very good.

When Nokia N95 hit the market, it had multiple bugs, was slow, used to crash, did not really felt right in the hands, the slider on it sucked, as did the battery life. We, early adopters, actually became beta testers for a new device and even shelled out some serious money for the privilege.

But all was forgiven in the name of all these cool gimmicks like GPS, 5mpx camera, Wi-Fi and others, that worked more often then not.

With Nokia N96 it’s a completely different story. You can feel that the N95 platform had a year to mature just by holding device in your hand.

Full specs of Nokia N96 include:

* WCDMA2100/900 (HSDPA) / EGSM900, GSM850/1800/1900 MHz (EGPRS) connectivity
