Hi,
I just received an N96 this week and was able to do an over-the-air update to 11.018 (*#0000# then left button/check for updates). I do have a generic product code (finland). When I'd used NSU is reported no updates, so it always makes sense to check both NSI and OTA as it seems some updates only come out on one of those channels!
I also have an N95 8Gb so rather need to decide which to keep so that I can sell one of them..
So far I have some concerns over power consumption (see http://cherrybyte.blogspot.com) but I know others have reported that for some capabilities the N96 is better (video, audio). Certainly the video seems smoother, and audio clearer than the N95.
I was able to use with pcsuite and do a backup/photo capture. I've installed quite a lot of apps and have not yet had any crashes.
The lack of VoIP client is perhaps my biggest issue - I was an avid truphone user.
I've not checked out the camea yet, but am planning to make some further comparisons.

problems with the Nokia N96
I just got myself a nokia N96 the soft ware on the install cd dose not work properly and cant update the phone. also the meadia player is not good at all its clear but it skips all the way throug movies even transformers the movie came with the phone and its audio is out of time and the movie skips there has been alot of the same complant. allso the phone tends to freez and is not able to recover untill you remove the batery the only way to turn it off when it dose this.
the software that dose work on my computer stops working when i try to tranfer meadia.
i had a N95 and that was alot better then the N96 in terms of the firmware on the phone nothing ever whent wrong with it at all.
the good thing is its not the phone that has the problem its the firmware on the phone(software) and nokia has said that they will have an update to fix the problems people have adressed them since its release.
so hopefully they will do this soon so i can enjoy the N96 at its best the way it should have been
programed.

N96
I really like this phone, I have an old N70 got it when it first came out around 2.5 years ago so this phone will be a perfect upgrade. About the battary I dont care if it has less power, that is what phone chargers are for. Plus I would get a car charger for when im out and about.
I will be looking at this phone when it comes out cause I really need a new one right now

I'm not convinced either. I'm not expecting an answer, but sent customer care an email
http://cherrybyte.blogspot.com/2008/...-to-nokia.html
If it's as good (or bad) as the N95 8Gb is now, then it's worth a shot.
If it's any more than 10% worse I'll skip.

GPS is a device, and using it requires no internet usages.
An application that uses it may well require internet usage, but not necessarily.
For example, Google Maps can use the GPS and it wants to download maps and/or image data on the fly, so it needs an internet connection (though it doesn't use it [much] if it already has what it needs in it's cache).
On the other hand, Nokia Maps can work just fine without an internet connection, since you can pre-load the maps/etc onto your phone using a PC application.
It all depends on the application you are using, and there are many that use the GPS for a surprisingly large number of purposes. I wonder if there's a list somewhere...
HTH.

N96 battery...
Quote:
What is the reason for including only a 950 mAh battery?
Answer: Instead of putting in a bigger battery than the N95, we optimized power usage of key functions, in particular those related to multimedia and entertainment. For example, video playback time is up to 5 hours and music playback time is up to 14 hours, which we achieved through hardware accelerators and other optimizations.

We people at [link]http://discussions.nokia.co.uk[/link] have had much progress with our N95-1 battery life, some using 1400mAh batterys (not officialy Nokia) but users are getting some great results, I get about 3 days using a fast charger and longer using standard charger with standard batteries. There is even newer firmware for the N95-1 and its got bugs! so read the threads 1st! So what I'm trying to say to Nokia is sort out your first N95-1 and N95-8GB people 1st. Personaly I love the N95 it has to be a little bulky as it does so much! and I can truly multi task, stream music, surf the net, use fring to chat all at once. Plus the 5MP camera, movement sensor chip that has been hardly touched except for some clever japanese people, nvidea graphics chipset room for 3.5mm headphones, IR, Bluetooth antenna, wifi antenna, quad band antenna!, I think its not that big at all to do so much, video at 30fps, i think some people forget what they've got when they get wow'd by the latest phone, looks like Nokia have rushed this N96 and looks a bit like a iPhone which i hate, reason is you try replying to a text message with an Iphone with one hand using predictive text while in a high street bags in your other hand, it cant be done on an iphone i've tried several times in the shop but you can easily on the nokia, they say the N96 navi key layout is too cramped looking at review through www.engadget.com my 2pence worth..cheers

This arguement could carry on for some time. Forgetting the 1200mAh battery in the N95-2, the N82 has a 1050mAh battery that is pysically smaller than the BL-5F.
I see on another forum there is 3d acceleration on this device.
I think its great device but it will never appeal to the masses while the N95 8Gb and N82 are about.

| RE: Battery |
@Unregistered a few posts above.
It really depends on your usage. I know many people who go through the n95 (v20) classic battery in less than a day. 48hrs is a stretch unless you're a light user... It has nothing to do with checking out your battery or phone! Your phone/battery does NOT have unique powers. lol
Condisdering they added another power hungry feature (DVB-H) 950mAH is still a joke. I agree with others about a slightly modified/improved n96 will be released shortly after with a hi-cap batt.

no we didnt get used to 5 days battery time from s40 devices. get this, we got use to, here it is, 1200mAh battery life of the n95 8GB!! its magic! seriously though, the mere fact that the launch spec of the n96 battery is identical the the launch spec of the n95 battery is ludicrous. if anything it can be considered a bad omen. everybody remembers how bad the battery life was on the original n95. nokia should have used a different battery spec just for the sake of seemingly not repeating past mistakes. but i'll take it further and say that even if FP2 is optimized for better battery life. why not take that further and use the 1200mAh battery for superb battery life?!?! i mean seriously! it could be a monster with a bigger size battery.
and last time i checked, regardless of what standby or software improvements may be implemented, electrical components still take up a finite amount of battery power. the phone IS still using a gsm radio that sends radio waves. the LED flash DOES still produce illumination. HSDPA still sucks down data fast. etc etc. all i'm saying is that if ya take the n95 8GB and the n96 and hold the LED flash on for 9 hours, i'm willing to bet that the n95 8GB will hold the longer charge. the fact that nokia seemed to move backwards is what is irking me for some reason.
btw i absolutely LOVE the look of the new phone and the direction of n series designs are going. not to sure about the redundant music keys though...maybe make them user defined like E series?
