Nokia N96 gets another firmware update



Three weeks ago we posted that the Nokia N96 got its first firmware upgrade. As we said then, some of the problems still occurred, prompting the Finnish giant to release another firmware update - version 11.101. Most of the stability issues are resolved now, including those related to mobile TV.

Here are some of the problems that are fixed with the latest firmware:

    * Mobile TV is unable to set the platform guide after phone reboot
    * DM settings aren’t generated automatically, when Email settings are defined in variant
    * Audio: Phone resets when plugging/unplugging headset for several times during music playback
    * Video call: White or black screen flashes when power saver time-out expires during an active video call
    * 3D Ringing tone is too low, almost nothing cannot be heard during MT voice call
    * Illumination with Voice call: During an active voice call, power saver displays when power saver time-out expires and then phone goes to sleep mode while the call is still ongoing
    * Image Quality improvements
    * A number of error fixes related to general system stability improvements
    * Low audio volume in Mobile TV. DVB-H audio volume level is now set to be similar to N77

What can I say except - if you own the Nokia N96, you should update right away!

Nokia N85 vs. Nokia N96
Head-To-Head Battle For The Flagship Title



The Finnish mobile phone giant is one of the firms with annoying strategy of adding many slightly differentiated  products to an already extremely crowded market which make the process of comparison more difficult and therefore many consumers are likely to be confused or misled about the product quality and its position in the market.

I understand that majority of time and money are usually spent on development and that platform sharing affords manufacturers the ability to cut costs on research and development by spreading the cost of the R&D over several product. With this in mind Nokia is able to produce numerous similar phones based on the pretty much the same concept for a lesser cost!

It actually sounds good in theory and the end user should be able to get the latest Smartphone devices at a cheaper and more affordable price but unfortunately it is not the case!!! It actually rice another key question, of whether the providing of many similar phones really does enhance the consumers’ choice, or this strategy is here just to obfuscate consumer judgment and make a choice harder with a larger possibility to make mistake and get the product that doesn’t meet the basic consumers needs!?

Weird Nokia model numbering scheme is a further source of confusion! You see, most of my friends often expect that higher model numbers typically mean better performance which is again not the case; at least it is not the case with Nseries devices and therefore users often take the wrong model.

The ongoing battle between Nokia N96 and Nokia N85 is the nice example, releasing basically the same products cause huge confusion among unexpired users of S60 device and even for me it is hard to clearly say which one is better and which one meet your needs.

Both phones shares exactly the same form factor, both are made of glossy black plastic, with silver accents and almost the same design, both phones also features the same OS and software platform, both phones falls into the Nseries family and what is the most interesting both phones attempt to get the flagship title!

So which one is better, which is one is good enough to be a flagship device? Well, to be completely honest with you, I'm afraid neither N85 nor N96 nor any of the other Nseries phone would fall in the "premium" category and take the long lasting flagship title (obviously this is a very subjective opinion)! from the oldie Nokia N95.

The Nokia N96 might carry a high price tag, but unfortunately that doesn't guarantee sophistication, innovations and the best performances. You have to decide if the current price is right or not but believe me that you won't get any of the innovative technologies from the Nokia R&D labs and if you are expecting too much, if you are expecting real flagship device you’ll be disappointed, I am pretty sure about!

From other hand Nokia N85 does everything the Nokia N96 can do and it also brings some more than welcome innovations and new technologies. OLED screen and the greatly improved battery life, actually Nokia has managed to squeeze even more features into slightly smaller and nicer body which is great achievement. It also has the faster hardware, FM transmitter, lens protector and few other minor improvements and it is cheaper after all! Sure, it lacks the DVB-H functionality and the huge onboard flash memory chip but considering that it comes with the 8GB microSD card and that DVB-H coverage isn’t that great it is not an issue really.

That’s it basically; unfortunately I can't give you a precise answer on question which one is right phone for you as it truly depends on your personal needs and preferences. Below you can find some comparison photos as well as the camera and video recorder samples. All photos were taken with the Nokia N95 in the poor light conditions and the quality isn’t as good as it should be so apologies because of that.

I’ll start a poll on the forum section and I hope it will help us to finally decide which device is the best Nokia S60 phone at the moment. Actually I’m really curious what you think about the actually Nseries battle? Is N96 really that bad!? Will you get N85? Or maybe you’ll skip the both devices and wait for the Tube or the next 'big thing', the flagship touch device!? These are interesting questions!? Lets discuses them over at our Symbian Freak Forum Section.

Also I would like to apologize if my reviews are sometime to technical and/or to subjective but that’s it, I’m not professional review, neither paid editor or blogger, I’m just a freak like most of you. I’m here to share my experiences with you and to keep you up to date with the latest happening and events if I find some spare time for that. SF is just an enthusiastic site; more like a hobby that's gotten out of control lately but it is still good old freaking portal and it will always stay as is, priceless and independent!

Also I would like to apologize because of my English, unfortunately it is still not as good as it should be and I often make a silly mistakes but I hope that most of you know and understand that I am not a native English speaker. I’ll try to reorganize my daily activates to find some more time to practice on a daily basis and improve it significantly but until that you’ll have to deal with strange sort of English language

Danas sam imao 10 minuta u ruci N96 i mogu reci da ja N95 i N95 8GB bolji od N96 i definitivno N96 ne zasluzuje tu cenu  653 eur

Ne zasluzuje on ni da se nadje u prodaji u ovom trenutku..... Trebao je da izadje pre N95, onda bi mozda i bio nesto (jer ima slabiji procesor od n95 recimo)..... Shit svakako!

Imao sam prilike da se druzim sa ovom masinom ceo dan i posle vise pokusaja instaliranja Garmina, koji uzgred budi receno jako sporo radi, baguje do ludila shvatih da ovaj fon nikako ne vredi ove pare. Za te pare moze da se kupi jedva koriscen N95 + N82 ili HTC tytn 2 + 6500 slide, polovan HTC diamond + k850i..............   Suludo je prodati neki polovan N 95 i dobaciti gomilu para za N 96.

Nokia N96: the five-minute fiddle

I had my hands on an N96 the other day for five minutes, and below you can find out what I thought of it (actually it was a little more than five minutes, but the 17-minute fiddle doesn’t sound as good…)

The point of this mini-mini-review is that users who try a device out immediately pre-/post-buying will have only had the same time as me to make a decision on if the device is for them or not. Given I’ve played with most every major mobile platform/device out there, I figure I might be able to shed some light on the killer points/faults of the N96 – so let’s get to it:

    * build quality – yurgh, not great – feels light, and the back panel, is, er….lame! Very thin and flimsy!. I bet the whole device creaks after 3 months usage
    * key layout – sucks – who on earth thought of whacking all those (multi-function) buttons on the facia needs a stern talking to! People’s fingers are not styluses – remember this!



    * slide mechanism - nice
    * S60 familiarity – good – if you’ve owned another S60 device, this one should be workable – some menus have changed though
    * option-finding complexity – very high – some options are buried under 7 layers of menus – come on Nokia, learn the Apple lesson!
    * Speed – um, not great – this device feels slower than the N95-8GB – and if I remember correctly, DOES have a slower processor. Hmm.
    * video playback – awesome – excellent quality and media handling

So in summary, would I buy one? Well I happen to know the battery is about the same size (in mAh) as the original N95, and smaller than N95-8GB – so on that count, it’s a no. On the basis of the screen, video handling, and slide mechanism, yes. Overall, if you’ve got another S60 device, you might find it hard to justify paying about £450 (SIM free). If you are coming from a feature-phone into S60 for the first time, I think this is (just about) the best device out there for that…

Overall rating: ambivalent – I could take it or leave it
Grade: B- (could do better)

. . . sto se Garmin-a tiče. . . instalacija uspela iz prve. . . satelite hvata mnogo brže nego N95 i ne baguje, ako mislimo na rad garmin-a. . . . .

U potpunosti se slazem sa tobom!
