First impressions of the Nokia N96, plus photo samples

Guest contributor Nick Anstee signed up to be one of the first to get a Nokia N96, as part of a limited 'wildlife' run. Read on for his first impressions of the N96, after a couple of days of intensive playing, plus photos of the device and some really nice photo samples taken on the device.

Read on in the full article.

Nice! so the 950mah battery life isn't as bad as the N95 one then?
probably bcoz of the FP2 doesn't drain as much battery power than the FP1?
so the device really is fingerprint magnet? compare to N95 8gb, is it much worse? thanks

That's what I like to see - quality dog photo sample shots. Echo most definitely approves. Thanks Nick.

and the whole thing is a fingerprint magnet.
Please, PLEASE... this goes out to all manufacturers: stop making glossy black devices!

There is no way to use something that's glossy and black without covering it in finger prints, and while it might look nice in the publicity photos it looks increasingly bad in real life.

What's wrong with matt finishes and/or light colours? Where did this idea come from that everything has to be shiny and dark?

You can actually see the person taking the photos reflected in the dog's eye in the first photo, which is rather cool.

The N96 sounds like a great device. In particular the good news on the battery (against all the b***hing and moaning before hand by "experts" in various blogs).

Have you noticed that 3D Graphics HW Accelerator is now listed on forum.nokia's N96 spec list? http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/N96

This can't be true or is it?!

Back and shiny

To answer the question on where the back and shiny design comes from... Dark Vader!

My N95 battery lasts 2-3 days of battery hungry activity so what's good about 1 day?
