Introduction
When writing a review of a top model phone, one has to be very cautious. This is even truer when the manufacturer is Nokia. Another extra is that the predecessor, N95, was one of the most successful handsets of its time. This is no wonder. N95 has been the most anticipated phone before iPhone, although there was of course no such hype surrounding it as in the case of Apple’s best-seller. Still, many have thought of it as the perfect mobile phone, although such a thing doesn’t exist.
The box from XXL GSM has arrived on Wednesday and it had a couple of days of stay in the trunk of my car until I made up my mind to write the review. It seemed to be a hard thing, as it’s the current top model, its price is above €625 EUR, but then I got used to it and I’ve figured out that this is nothing extra, it just has everything that Nokia used in other handsets. Nothing more.
Of course, it’s a good thing if our phone has lots of features. We are usually angry when a Walkman phone performs poorly in photography or when a handset designed for navigation doesn’t really have musical features. N96 theoretically has the maximum from all points of view… but there is a price to be paid for this. We spend extra money for such features that are used only by a small percent of the users. Anyway, Nokia doesn’t want to commit a mistake: they’ve put everything in it.
It is sure that the Finnish designers knew almost exactly what they did wrong with the predecessor. Those that worked and worked fine are still here, and those that were criticized are now fixed, or at least they’ve tried to fix it. Still, they didn’t have to change a lot, N96 will be a bestseller model, it’s evident that the name would sell the successor even if it would be the original one repacked in a different case.
