Has anyone got a Nokia N96?

If so, what is the battery life like?

Mr Darkhorse is due a phone upgrade this month and he can’t decide which phone to get, and because his last phone had a crap battery life he is being a bit more cautious this time.

His other choices are:
T-Mobile G1
Nokia N95 8GB
Samsung Pixon
Sony Ericsson C905
Samsung Soul
Nokia E71
BlackBerry Curve 8900
Samsung Tocco
BlackBerry Bold
BlackBerry Pearl 8110
T-Mobile MDA Compact IV

(and a load of other crap ones that he’s not really all that interested in)

Got a N95 8GB

Battery life kinda bad, i am on msn with it 24/7.

a bit of call from time to time.
Not that many calls.

Battery Life 2 days ya defo got to recharge.

My old N81 8GB still great!! same usage but battery life at least doubles then N95

Sony Eric

Had too many bad battery life sony's before. They are good for the first 2 month or so then the battery life just gone down hill.

Not sure about others.

I have an MDA Vario (2 years old t-mobile) and it hasn't missed a beat. I recharge it probably about once a fortnight, but then I don't really make lots of calls on it. But I do quite often check stuff on t'interweb which can suck down quite a bit of juice. Still has a a good battery life tho.

The battery life refers to continuous talk time on default settings but at maximum volume. The tests were capped at 10 hours.

I have a Sony Ericsson. I send texts on it and call people and it takes pictures. The battery lasts three days or so I think.

Other than that I have no idea.

Oh, it's purple. Which is nice

I have a N96.

The built in TV receiver doesn't work (if you do an update it removes the TV option from the phone altogether, so I guess it never will).
It works REALLY slowly, for example, when you try and read a message the screen goes blank for about 5 seconds before it finally displays anything.

It also crashes sometimes when you get an incoming call before it actually makes a sound so unless you keep checking it, you don't notice that it has frozen.

Finally, it tends to reset quite often to.

Apart from that though, great phone , it looks pretty, and the video quality is excellent.

Getting to the point, the battery life isn't great, I have to charge mine every other day, but don't use it much, so if you use it for more than a couple of calls (to the Samaritans in my case) in a day, then I'd be tempted to buy another phone.....
