As a company Nokia is one of the best brand in my opinion. It stands for it’s durability and feature pack handsets. But as a common say the exceptions are everywhere. N series got failed with it’s models like N-95, N-96 and N-97.
Over the edge price and a bad hardware experience. The sliding belt is an infinite investment that you can repair it again and again if you want to use your N-96. I nearly replaced it 8-9 times. Then threw to the dustbin. Features wise a good phone but as heavy as hell. So I do not recommend it at all.
