N96 is Similar To N81 - Peroid!

Over on the N-Gage Arena forums, and im guessing aswell, various other forums and chat-rooms - some small debate has been going off whether or not the N96 is similar to the N81 and the my answer, which (judging from the picture) is the YES they are similar.

These 2 phones are similar by design, not by specification, for example the new "beast" of an N96 has a 16GB intergrated Hard-drive, and a 5 Megapixel camera (Carl Zesis Lens). Compared to the N81 which only has a standard (but effective) 2 Megapixel camera and 8GB intergrated hard drive.

The specifications are different, however as you can see in the picture the way they look are EXTREMELY similar and for some-one not used to phones it might be hard to tell which is which.

The Phone on the left is the N81 8GB (My Phone), the phone on the right is the N96 (Norman's (Symbian World)) - the only other "main" difference is that the N96 is abit flatter, but more wide and the N96 is alot lighter than the N81. If the N81 was flattened, it would look the same.

The only dislike i have about the N96 is that it feels too light and too cheap compared to the N81 (as i like to know that my phone is in my pocket), apart from that N96 is a beast, and if your looking for the best high-end nokia device on the market, the N96 is the way to go!
