CNET Asia Review

Excellent

8.2

out of 10

View score

The good: 16GB memory with the option to expand; GPS; HSDPA; 5-megapixel camera; table stand.

The bad: Chunky, plasticky build; some N95 users may have expected more; Web browser not as good as Safari.

The bottom line: The N96 has everything a gadgeteer could want, including vast amounts of memory, a good camera, great video playback quality and built-in GPS. But its build quality is a bit iffy and it's not as easy to use as the iPhone.

Not a bad thing to have!

Feb 2, 2009

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Storage is a whopping 16gigabytes plus a slot for a micro sd card
Cons: Battery life and bulky
Opinion:
I got mine out of the retention program of my mobile provider. I paid not even a single centavo to have this. Features are ok but the camera could have been better if it was equipped with a xenon flash. It was easy getting used to it especially if used to own a similar device like the N-95. Music is great but the downside is you to have a charger with you to make sure that you keep the phone running. Good thing that the charger that came with it is small and fast. The design is great but it is finger print and smudge magnet. The overall pagkaging could have been better sans the plasticky feel of the unit. Overall, I am satisfied with this unit and bottomline is, who am I to complain knowing that I got this product for free?

It's good, but how come it's only 5 megapixels? Can you create a 10 megapixel one?
