The best news ahead : I have Internet again and I’m soo happy:) and now directly to my new review I can now write in peace at home: These are my outpourings of the last 4 days I had to write by hand;) How often I was being asked even by my customers? Once? … No! 10 times? … No! … Certainly a hundred times! ”Tell me … when they have the new Nokia N96 ?”…
Today I can answer this question, “Customer Satisfaction” because now I have it since 4 weeks. And not just my shop, it has … No! Also my friend! But I have for you taken exclusively under the magnifying glass;).
I will, as always, a summary and an Interim insert from me here, so may each of you herrauspicken its special menu items. I’m not even angry when you read the entire report. ;)
Synopsis:

6th Thanksgiving
1st Packaging:
Matrix I say just because!
Who does not know the style? The N96 is in our shop including the film (on the phone sold) and that’s why also designed the packaging in the Matrix style.
Honestly … I like the movie “Matrix” and not just so I can only bring you so close to the packaging:
The background is black with the letters runterhangeln salad in matrix-green on the packaging, but at the end of the packaging run and pass again into a deep black.
On the page above the background, the black-held mobile phone will appear in the display of the word “matrix” almost mystically appear.
These include: Nokia N96 is. Entertainment. A new Dimsension. Even without seeing the film to have … but this rate is in proportion to the film.
On the back of the package is a description of the main features of the N96 listed (such as Nokia Maps and Nokia N-Gage). We obtain directly a nice insight into the functionality of this phone.
On the sides of the N96 is shown in different positions, which are intended to underline the functional diversity and have the cell phone can be interesting.
And what can I personally admire the first time on a cell phone box is a Certificate … this is not the phone itself but to the adjusted matrix-free film of the nunmal unfortunately only 16 years. (Well, that one must be 18 years old to enter into a contract with us can).
Conclusion
The cardboard goes through this matrix style definitely something here. It acts simultaneously elegant and chic but also mystical or mysterious. Despite the still very dominant matrix-style mobile phone is very good effect.
Nokia also united on the pack voltage to the cell phone as well as information (back) and makes this mobile phone from vornerein not only an eye-catcher but a multi talent.
A small negative point I have yet: Despite the very high price in my eyes is the only board made of cardboard. This has unfortunately not very noble and is not really robust. I am thinking of sending the boxes of the Giorgio Armani Samsung Phones or at the Dolce and Gabana cell phone from Motorola since the presentation was still something exquisite.
So all in all, not noble but very nice to look at.
PS: Cartons should never throw away the way, should a phone be exchanged once the board is usually of great importance!
Despite that I’ve missed a bit of the noble touch the package gets 5 out of 5 stars because it is very extraordinary and diverse.
2nd Delivery:
The package we have ever have an mobile phone and the battery … so Schonmal a very good basis. To a stereo headset comes with an integrated hands-free (this can also be used as a radio antenna). Even a clipper and a separate track before and rewind are.
Therefore we do not have a car charger, an audio / video cable (to be able to look at his pictures and videos on your TV and PC), a data cable and a separate (travel) charger. Use the suitable software for the N96 and a user manual which is not made for pensioners but it is relatively easy to understand. A memory card is included does not exist, although this is not to evaluate the negative, the device has a 16 GB internal memory. About the Memory I am raising the issue again later.
Conclusion
The delivery is spacious … A bag or matching cell phone jewelry (perhaps in the Matrix style) would in my opinion nor was chic but you can not have it all. Trotzallem is a car charger and an audio-video cable not a standard and therefore I’m also the delivery on 5 out of 5 stars.
3rd Design / Functions (Foreign)
Mmmhh … how I would describe externally N96? Honestly? Clearly! .. For me personally, the N96 nothing but a platform is carved and drawn-N81; P. That is not meant to be negative, that N81 is certainly a very nice phone but a bit more creativity but then I had Nokia and credited as the seller is happy one else does you have a design.
At second glance, is the N96, although still a shallow N81 but still graceful, because by the huge display, the device has a much nobler.
Here are some key data to the external appearance:
Height x Width x Depth 103.0 x 55.0 x 20.0 mm
Weight 125 g
2.8-inch diagonal inches
Diagonal mm 71 mm
Display type TFT
The N96 is a so-called slider (colloquially slider phone), it is closed is a straight to the very large display (16.7 million colors) that takes up almost the entire front. Showing there is one of the battery level, network strength, the provider (for example, E-Plus) and the time and date.
The front is almost as with any new cell phone mirror, so that the women among us can have the mirror at home and always check with their mobile phone their outward appearance can.
Above the display is in Silver writing the type name “N96″ and under the display of the manufacturer “Nokia”.
Keyboard (front):
Among them we find the “keyboard navigation. This arises as follows:
In the middle we have our square navigation key with the one in the menu up, down, you can scroll left and right. The center is at the same time this Navigationskeys as well as a selection button. Right and left of the page we have deposited the green call acceptance and the red End key deposit.
In the spaces between acceptance and End key we have is still below the C-Key (eg, SMS write a delete button) and the menu button with which I can directly switchen in the N96 menu.
There are also two buttons that act as a confirmation and get back. And next to the navigator, we still have a small button that leads us directly into the applications (music, videos, pictures … etc. pp).
Especially nice:
If I appear at the phone slide the scroll button the music player buttons (play, pause, stop, next and previous). Since this only at the slides and not in standby mode, the phone does seem more functional and noble agreed, just more refined.
The back of the N96 is taken largely from the camera with Carl Zeiss optics. Particularly successful here, a built-in “stand” the I can just pull out in order to place my phone on the table so I can watch movies without a better hold on the phone to have. The camera is, unfortunately, as with his predecessors, not protected separately.
The design of the rear curved shaped by the waves retire to a soft silver on the back. If we look more closely you can see at the back that the back of something that glitters really is only decent but not cheesy and the cell phone makes.
On the sides are still a memory card slot (if the 16 BG internally rich should not even;)). A volume control even as this serves no other function and supports.
Most importantly the camera shutter, and at least as important a start-up and Ausmachknopf.
The last trick … the phone is slidable down the keyboard … is plainly visible. The buttons are not detached but are on, but they can be very good they are large and easy to press … robust they are. A broken keyboard you have here is not so fast …
The buttons I think succeeded whether young or even for the older among us very much And the mobile phone is slidable up, pushes it up the music player buttons (play, pause, stop, next and previous) visible, the phone switches to Walkman mode and you can now comfortably listen to music or the one or watch another video.
Conclusion
In my opinion, the whole appearance is not particularly creative but very successful. The large display and the subtly elegant design the phone easy to convince.
The buttons on the front one are killed at the first glance to press but nice, do not make the appearance a wear and fit comfortably on the finger tip.
The camera is unfortunately not protected extra that I personally find not so successful but the installer is easy because this class also has a very good degree of inclination, it allows one to watch movies comfortably.
The buttons are laid out really well and are easy to operate.
I give the Design 4 out of 5 stars because of the lack of creativity. Too bad Nokia
4th Functionality in a big way
Now we come once the most important points must have a cell phone, and especially the N96 .. so I jump now exist in a page from many of the small menu is the simplicity sake:
Most importantly, the first item:
I’m not the first time a mobile phone of Nokia N-series in the hand and am saleswoman, but unfortunately I have to say that the menu of a Nokia N-series for me always is a major challenge similar. I am like you might know a Sony Ericsson fan and I own a Nokia rarely used long, I just try to deal professionally with it and test the phone and let me have the experience of others. Despite all this, I am frankly overwhelmed when most coming in a customer and would like to have obstructed anything in its N-series for which I must go to the menu.
At first glance the menu looks really like each other. It consists of many symbols, even helpful manner and accompanied by a note (under the letter and the word SMS) so yes there would be quite simple actually not the problem of the sub and the rider.
The N-Series is clear from the main menu, and many small but it is also wiederrum larger (almost as big as the top menu) menu items. I then arrived at last in my respective category captures the “problem” is only, for now I’ll usually run through countless riders to restrict me in my clarity and make it difficult searching the phone in my opinion unnecessarily.
This menu you have to study “”! If you have the phone just now and in the hand it is incredibly difficult to engage them and bring more confusion than light in the desired problem. But the menu is very extensive and can, if you have found the appropriate menu option, nothing needs or questions, I can adjust almost everything.
There is also a display menu, which is very beautiful clear his schedule, wifi hotspots, and small menu items such as SMS, even if the menu is very clear I think it is mostly to quarrel very difficult especially since you are actually in the beginning always in the menu moved. This menu is changeable, however, to my delight (go here once a small taste of the menu to display the menu, you have to umzuändern following path: System -> Preferences -> General -> Personalisation -> Standby mode -> Standby Theme … and you came up with the idea that there is not the point in standby theme .. I!).
Conclusion
The menu I can recommend only partially. It takes a while to find his way you are. Also the display menu, which is in my eyes, although clearly designed to quarrel but still difficult to beat me no joy. (It is fortunately convertible.) Older people, I must strongly advise against all of the menu, but it is simply too complex and confusing. Since I personally do not like rumsuche and a convenient menu of man am I get only 4 out of 5 stars because I just rename the menu as the major problem in the N-series have that definitely discourages me from buying one.
Let’s go on with a big point, which represents for many a purchase:
As described above, I get the opportunity through the slider of the phones in the music player, but not only the possibility open to me is, I have to reach even the possibility of directly using the menu on the spot applications or on the display menu, the Music Player . The variety I like, but much more important than the accessibility of the quality and I have to really say that is impressive. The sound is loud and clear in my ear it scratches absolutely nothing, and the bass is also very clear herrauszuhören. Depending on the music helps me the built-in equalizer to adjust the sound of my music taste. I can also adjust the visualization which is my cell phone with the necessary light effect when you play more music.
The volume is more than acceptable, it is deafening loud speaker can be used both on the phone through the headphones and through the. There is no significant deterioration when one plays the music through the phone directly … and I must say I find it cruel and I hope no one here to animate his cell phone on the train / bus etc. to a full bottle to turn up … thanks ..
The following audio formats are supported by the N96: AAC, AAC +, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, eAAC, eAAC +, M4A, MP3, MPEG4, SPMIDI, XMF, WMA.
Natrülcih you can also minimize the music player menu, and you continue to move freely in the mobile phone menu.
The video player I have, of course, was the first Tested (I wanted to know whether the film is well represented). Jep! He interests me, although still not fluent but it runs without jerking. With a very good sound and graphics quality. If I turn the phone on its side and watch the stand for convenient use video, also the whole image rotates and I can look comfortable and easy.
In the area of video formats are supported:
3GP, H.263, H.264, MPEG4, REAL, WMV
More movies I’ve seen yet on the phone nciht, except that I myself made a video that was very good also on the tone and the graphic.
Conclusion
If I compare times with my Sony … (K850) I have to say unfortunately, really, that the quality of video and music on the Nokia N96 is better recognized, the sounds seem clearer and sharper graphics and more fluid. Really makes a top result .. great fun with the device to watch TV and listen to music. (My friend looks on the train any more films and has even criticized him for nothing and that is really what ..;)…
In Austria, for example, already a standard in Germany in the coming .. thanks! I did not know … I had myself a little bit of this and wants it for you to summarize briefly:
Mobile TV is the modern way without antenna on his mobile phone via DVB-H look on TV. However, here is UMTS, or the newer HSDPA network which used to be very expensive for you if you could not have registered with your data service provider.
In addition, here are TV licensing fees (who still does not pay GEZ) due.
Unfortunately, I can tell you nothing either positive or negative talk about this option, because I have unfortunately set is currently no data service and has the option not test so unfortunately, if you but in a HSDPA area resides (this can ergoogln it over your network provider), lives this type of TV should represent no problem for you, since you then have a very high speed, and pictures should be shown liquid.
Important here watching TV: Should you and accept a call, the audio is turned off temporarily and you can take your conversation as usual and continue to look after termination TV.
Conclusion
to use the technical progress and the possibility of mobile TV I find great, but I can judge them not for lack of experience.
Here, the frequency range is 85.5 to 108.0. As mentioned previously is a part of your stereo headset as an antenna, which does not prevent you, however, the speaker of the device on and as the afternoon football on WDR2 to enjoy without a headset. The device can store your radio stations and search manually. The antenna is strong, of course, it is still on where you find yourself just as far as the radio reception. The N96 is good but in a highway tunnel, it works well it does not.
But you have also the possibility listen to the radio via the Internet, which also has wiederrum most sense if you live in an HSDPA – the field and when you have a data plan.
Conclusion
To save a strong possibility my antenna and the transmitter. What more could you want? 5 out of 5 stars.
Oh no, my first negative point, but it was quite clear it?
Übrlegt times, a cellphone with a 5 megapixel camera, a menu like a maze, lots of memory, lots of gimmicks, music player, video … no wonder that the battery has kept me almost three days, and I must say though, that I thought that when Stephen and I use many videos and so watch the full music player and camera to test the battery much more quickly gives up the ghost. For that I find acceptable three days, so there is of me 3 out of 5 stars. If the device is not often used, I would appreciate it holds four days by bringing more technology … no matter how cheerful even more capacity loss.
Senior will be here with a lithium battery with 950 mAh 216 hours standby and 2.7 hours of talk time.
I would not say now that the phone is not built robust that it is even definitely, but I would guess that if it once on the front is precipitated by a display damage go home of course, is not covered by the warranty and the device is not sure the repairs at 10 €. Alsoauch if it is built really well and is stable, we should drop it or not … on the unprotected camera still great on the display.
The unit is very easy but very large. Since I am someone who likes long pants carries it’s okay for me when a device is slightly larger, but I think now those who like to wear tight clothes unteruns, as is the fit was not as good as my long pants I think that everyone must agree with itself. I personally recommend, however, long pants or a leather belt really contribute to the comfort as a comfort to leave.
The navigation is the GPS receiver (on the back of the device, use to interlocking never otherwise nothing will come;)) instead. Comprehensive maps of Austria, Switzerland and Germany are already pre-installed. The GPS search can, within seconds to minutes to be completed, is important to note again the data plan to avoid further costs.
The navigation I have financial reasons not to try unfortunately.
Voice quality is great, even with E-Plus, I had no problems. I and my interlocutor we have always clearly understood and well …
The device has a speakerphone but also must be said that the quality is really good quality, never had a conversation with a low noise even greater problems. The phone is okay … although comfort when the phone yet very great in my tiny ear works but fortunately you can slide it and then it is much smaller.
Call waiting / waiting / holding are now already become standard features, the device supports and performs reasonably well.
The phone supports Java games.
Warning : Jamba is an expensive story!
While resting with the keys but the good Bedinbarkeit SMS to be with my thin fingers tap as well as with sausage fingers (sorry Stefan). Ausählen you can, of course, between T9 (which is capable of learning) and select Writing language. Equally, it is of course also MMS (picture attached of course) and type emails.
Features such as group SMS, SMS forwarding request, status are also given.
In the area I can set up multiple email accounts. However, I can hire a BlackBerry push to give me the email goes directly to the phone, I have to download manually. (Emails require a data plan or a special e-mail rate).
Also an Instant Messenger (eg ICQ) you can use. For example, the software Jimm Mobile … with interest and questions about the installation:
Even though the N96 is more stepped into the layer multimedia phone, it is certainly for one or the other business people a real alternative to other phones. The Organizer shall not be missing, of course. Several functions are available here and via the display menu can also be the next dates so that you miss no more.
Features:
Calendar, scheduler, date storage, dynamic series of events, send appointments, to-do list, notepad, calculator, calculator, currency converter, alarm clock when the unit, number Wecktermine 3, stopwatch, countdown timer, world clock, voice dialing, Outlook, PDF – Reader
I can also use the 16 GB internal memory + external memory at my store as many contacts as possible on the phone again, I’m not restricted, because I can each contact’s email address, multiple phone numbers, birthdays, etc. separate ringtone pp press on the eye.
The mobile phone firm has a 16 GB integrated memory. In addition, we are still one up to 8 GB external micro SD card (costs about 50 €) buy more. Stefan and I have the phone properly packed full of times … 16 GB full. Handy is not quite as fast but still faster than when a vollpackt N95 8 GB. Sets Add to this a 2 GB (more because I did not) external one and filled it this is starting annoying … but still stable. This is an extraordinary plus and a big increase over the N95 with 8 GB internal then the truly almost at the end of all forces was.
I do it just once 720 € cash Or
29.95 Max M Friends mit Handy for 1 €
39.95 Max M mit Handy € 79.95 …
They are currently our Cracker offers.
Conclusion
I admit I am not a Nokia fan but this phone is really fine. It boasts a super good camera and super good music player. All functions are given, and the N96 has the reputation of “multi-function mobile phone” deserved it. All tests, it has brought vorran herrvoragende services. In some cases I was surprised very much. Especially the memory and the very good image quality in the dark I really liked it. Unfortunately, it lacks the equipment still in a stronger battery or maybe just a second battery. And the design speaks to me not at all, I would have been capable Nokia little more creativity. Even the menu is very complicated for me a fundamental point of criticism. Therefore, the buttons are very well done and for young and old a good operability. Nokia has the N96 been a real big seller on the market. As a seller I say thank you undfreue sell me the device may be.
If I take everything together, I give this unit 4 out of 5 stars. As justification, I would say that I really subtract one star only because of poor usability and a kids menu percent for the design, because beauty is indeed still in the eye of Bertrachters.
Pros : camera, music player, memory
Cons : Design, Menu
