@ Daniel from India: with grammar like yours, I highly doubt you are a reviewer, and thus completely faking the story about getting one for free. I, on the other hand, have used one this phone, and also own an N95. Sure, it looks nicer, sure, it offers some new stuff, but if you own an N95, I personally don't think it's worth the upgrade. If you are in the market for such a phone, wait and get the iPhone 3G instead, then wait for Nokia to bring out the N97.

Looks like what should be a good multimedia device. It's got all the things you need really, good camera, video, plenty of memory for music. The only problems are the 950mAh battery, and the fact that it's not touch screen, which is the way technology is going now.

Was one of the 'fortunate' people to have a 20 minute ply with this phone and to be honest i wouldn't say that i felt the same buzz of excitement as i got with my first 20 minutes with the n95, perhaps this was because the n95 was original, it brought something new to the table (5 megapixel cam and a dual slider) whilst the nokia n96 still has these features, it doesn't improve. When holding the phone i couldn't help but wonder why Nokia didn't make the display a bit bigger as we've learnt from the screen size increase from the n95 to the n95 8GB a few more fractions of an inch does make a difference and there is clearly more space that the screen could cover on the n96 u don't need to use one to know that, you can even see from the picture above. But all faults aside the nokia does deliver where it promises; the memory most of all is a big improvement for me personally as i have a collection exceeding 8GB but overall i am gonna stick with my 16GB iPhone as although it is far from perfect it is slimmer with a bigger screen.
