Comparison with N96 - battery life

[planetf1]

thanks for the mobile review links guys - that was exactly what I was looking for. Looks pretty positive thumbs up too whether for music/video/web/wlan. If so great news (of course I'd prob have gone for larger battery and improvements but that's life!)

Thanks. Looking forward to this new place to hang out too!

Thats why I said unless you live in the UK :D

If you cant use it, it wont drain the battery.

surely nokia would use a sutible battery to meet the phones needs....

i mean the n96 has all this technology... why put a stupid battery tht wont last 5 mins with it

i'd personally use the n73 or n82 battery with it as they seem to last ages

As i've said in previous threads,at Nokia Academy i was told even though then N96 will have the same battery as the N95-2 the performance will be better.

I hate to use a car analogy but think about it like this:
The N96 gets better "miles per gallon" (or km per liter) compared to the N95 / N95 8GB

Your dad's old car has a 15 gallon tank but gets 15 mpg.
Your car has a 10 gallon tank but gets 40 mpg.

The tank might be smaller, but it goes farther.

Im going to steal that analogy, apologies.

What I think is this -

The new car might have more MPG to the gallon when driving normally, but if you rev it hard it has the same MPG as the old car revving hard.

Make much sense?
