nokia-n96


This will surely be replaced as Nokias flagship phone asap. Took them so long releasing the bloody thing that their main rivals have all released 8mp phones whilst the N96 is only 5mp.
The N95 was one of the best phones on the market for 2 years but this certainly wont have the same shelf life imo.
Gutted coz I'm due and upgrade and if this had been an 8mp I'd have got it for deffo.

Same position mate... I'm due an upgrade in the next month... currently got an N95 tbh there's nothing really in the N96 that's worth the upgrade... I've also got Garmin loaded to my N95... was considering the Sony X1... or I might just keep the N95 but get a reduced monthly tarriff instead...

So which service provider do you all use and do you rate it?

I've been with Vodafone for years now and haven't had any problems with them since I switched back.

The coverage is excellent - far better than t-mobile and orange when i tried those 2 out (although that's going back years). I haven't tried O2 yet though.

Looking on this site Compare Mobile Phone Networks, Reviews of Providers at Review Centre 35 products they don't rate too highly though:S

Orange used to be really good untill it got bought out by a french company.

Orange has always been owned by France Telecom its a French Company.

Im on Orange personally ; Voda and Orange are usually always up there coverage wise and customer service wise as well.

I've had one of these for 4.5 years. Still going strong. You can even use it to make phone calls which is a bonus. :)

Just got an iphone. No MMS, and the camera isn't great, otherwise though its the sex. Its like having a phone, ipod, laptop all in one. Great for music geeks.
