Wow!!! In that case it makes me see N96 in a whole new dimension. It is already beating the battery times of N95-8GB in comparisons inspite of the teeny battery. It'll be awesome with the larger battery. Please can someone with a N96 try it and post the times...pretty please!!!Originally Posted by lightindark
I've seen yesterday an article says that it doesn't fit
I will try to find it and post it.
EDIT : here is the link http://gabrielecomparato.blogspot.co...s60-event.html
Will become available on 3UK in September, so I guess we'll see the first SIM-free ones in mid/late August...
Link about this story here.
I noticed it's release on Play had slipped back to August.
If it doesn't fit I won't buy. I can't be dealing with nightmarish battery life like I did with the old N95 ever again.I've seen yesterday an article says that it doesn't fit
I will try to find it and post it.

If the N95 8GB's battery does fit, I'll get one.
Can anyone confirm?
if the original N95-8 battery does fit, why doesn't Nokia just use that anyway?
What Mobile have reviewed this phone in the new issue & give it 4/5.
Here is the conclusion of their review:
"When we saw the list of specs for the Nokia N96, we thought Nokia had repeated the N95's spec sheet by mistake. Now we see that it's no bad thing keeping to a winning formula. The big change is the 16GB of internal memory, with the ability to add more using memory cards, and a clever kickstand to let you stand the phone up when watching video. Actually, there's another big change, but not one that will mean much for UK owners. THE DVB-H receiver means you can pick up digital television, but we won't have a service here for a good few years yet. For now, the winning formula from the N95 remains - good multimedia and a great camera. Bring it on!
Here is their brief camera review:
The N96 camera takes pictures that are remarkably similar to the N95, which isn't surprising considering it's exactly the same!
exact release date for this?
it will be released on October 1.

cheers!
A fatal mistake that will cost them plenty of sales with the Innov8 etc coming to the market before then.
yup., that could be true.
but then again, maybe that phone might be priced higher? Also, still no word yet on whether the innov8 will be upgradable or not (or if it'll work with nokia's NSU).
cheers!
Well it seems like the N96 will be pretty costly too.
I think they are poisitioned differently
Not to mention the N96 should be cheaper, and more available
i believe this is coming earlier
(ok, always the sales begin "in selected countries" with small amount of devices but i mean the full sales)
6F fits if you peel of the battery covers and slice a part from the top of the battery (almost to the core)I've seen yesterday an article says that it doesn't fit
I will try to find it and post it.
EDIT : here is the link http://gabrielecomparato.blogspot.co...s60-event.html
(same way it also fits to e.g. 6210N, a bit easier though)
The innov8 price will quickly drop after release I expect.
|What will Tv coverage be like for this?
It will be zero in the UK for now.
Yeaaaaah... No thanks.6F fits if you peel of the battery covers and slice a part from the top of the battery (almost to the core)

What it means by SDTV output on TV OUTPUT?
n95 DOES vga ON TV OUTPUT. Is sdtv 720x480?
N90
It might be 640x480, or 720x576 if it means PAL SDTV
N96 launched in india.

does it mean that UI speed in general (inc. media related) will be better in n96 than innov8?
Nokia bumps N96 to 24GB
N96 now with 24GB storage
Storage bumps don't normally cause us to wibble here at Stuff Towers. But hot on the heels of the new N85 and N79, Nokia has confirmed that their flasghip cell, the yettobereleased N96, is getting a heft to 24GB.
The move comes a month ahead of its official release here in the UK, and will let you stash around 6,000 average MP3s and an obscene 40 hours of video. And as if that wasn't enough, the new version still comes with support for another 8GB through the SD slot.
In case you've forgotten, the N96 is the successor to the N95, and comes with a DVBH tuner (admittedly useless here in Blighty), a 5MP camera, GPS and a stack of extra features.
Word is we'll be able to get it from high street stores from October, with 3 the irst operator to offer it up.
If the N96 doesn't do it for you, make sure you check out our feature on everything you need to know about the touchscreen Nokia Tube.

cheers!
thats a nice big whooping memory!
i really hope nokia will also announce a xenon flash added on N96 tomorrow! hah! now i know what im getting on my bday! weeee!
24gb? really? where did stuff.tv got this info?
I mean, wonderful if true, 24gb + 8gb microsd = 32gb, maybe 30~gb after formatting. And my music library is 31gb, so I could effectively ditch my ipod. (after deleting a little stuff, which I've been meaning to do anyway)

unlikely.... maybe 16gb + 8Gb of bundled microSD...
Nokia's N96 sets a Q4 North America launch date.
i though Iphone was expensive.....http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/26/n...a-launch-date/
You've seen the review, now get ready as Nokia just announced a Q4, North American release for its high-end, N96. That means localized 850/1900 HSDPA radios to go along with its GSM quad-band set, 2.8-inch QVGA display, 16GB of storage, a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, WiFi, and assisted GPS. Interestingly, there's no mention of mobile TV which makes it seem that they've scrapped DVB-H entirely without a mediaFLO replacement. How much? $895, that's how much -- sorry you asked?
Ronka, the iPhone is expensive.
This too is expensive - but don't you think the features and functionality make up for the price?
Strange, CNET said it would be $800 and come with NAM 3G
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10022742-1.html
beside DVB-B and 16GB internal, i dont think nokia lovers would get N96 over N95 with over 300$ pricetag. not to mention 32GB microSDHC would come to the market Q4 this year.
sure SP2 has nice transation and all, but that doesnt justify the +800$ pricetag. you could get a decent laptop with 800$ you know.
32 gb>??'??!
OMG!!
Amazing!
Though I don't like the N81 derived design myself I still think it works better on this phone than the N85. Just wish the N96 had a lens cover & the same screen technology as the N85. If only they could be added.
Whatever Nokia guys do with N96, there is still chance that Nokia may sell a good few more N96 than it did N93.
Hmm, I'm not too sure about this increase to 24GB, it would be bigger then just one website
See, to us tech junkies, the DVB-B, 24GB memory, FP2 is important.
But to the rest of the community, when they see DVB-B, 24GB memory, different design and different model number - it's a completely different phone regardless of the camera modules and such. It's pretty much a marketing strategy. Plus wouldn't you agree that the N95 is a tad outdated now?
The fact that both the N85 & N79 have lens protectors makes it even stranger that their flagship device doesn't have a lens protector.
I remember posting about the 24gb thing.
I think it will be most likely 16gb built in + 8 gb card.
i cant imagine why they would do 24gb built in........ doesn't not make sense...
sounds like some rubbish from some websites to me. 16gb is huge already...... there is need to go more?
Very obvious to differentiate it from it from devices like the i8510 & it's not so big when you consider the 32Gb iphone cannot be far away.
so, 24GB is confirmed or just a rumor?
? plz confirm?
It would seem the phone will be delivered in selected markets with an 8GB card, theoretically bumping the memory up to 24 gigs.
I'm happy to confirm with everyone that Nokia has indeed increased the in bulid memory to 24GB in it's N96. They featured N96, N85 & N79 in the official newspapers here in Singapore on the 27/8/08 & it was stated in Digital Life section. They also said it will cost $1268 (Singapore dollars including tax) & will be available in September. N85 & N79 will be out in October.
So much for a memory eh?
Probably Samsung Innov is about the same price as N96. Tough choice
Good news, guys - it looks like N96 starts shipping
Thats the limited edition for the panda-helpers, but soon enough it will hit the shelves(or the fan, we'll see for that matter).
