I love Nokia phones and Im also a macintosh addicted. I like the Iphone 3G but Nokia N96 is MUCH better! No doubts! I would get an Iphone cause its going to be so cheap and its going to be released here in Portugal in the same operator that I already have an account so its easier for me. I wouldnt do a new contract on a new operator. If the Iphone 3G come out with the same price of the first generation Iphone I wouldnt buy it.
I used to have a N95 but I lost on a trip to the USA but if I still had it I wouldnt buy the N96 casue I dont see big differences between them but now that I dont have a high end cellphone Im waiting for the N96 release. Carphone warehouse had a realease date for July 31st but few days ago they changed to October!!! I hope thats not true!

Actually, my mistake, it HAS been reveiled. 8GB is max it will support. But meh, I'm not going to complain, 24GB will serve me well for a looooonnng time.

iGsm, 14 Jun 2008..well, i cant find any differnce from n95.
1.The dvbh is useless in most countries, plus you... moredude i don't know where you got the N95 with 8gb + 8gb SD card thing but that doesn't exist lol. do your research.
The original N95 has an expansion slot but that only has a small 160MB internal memory with an SD card reader that can read up to 8GB.
The N95 8GB only has 8GB and NO expansion slot. Why nokia removed it is beyond me. Stupid move nokia..STUPID. But it looks like they might redeem themselves this time with the N96 serving up to 16GB internal memory PLUS SD Card reader. The maximum capacity supported is not yet known but it could very well be at least another 16GB.

..well, i cant find any differnce from n95.
1.The dvbh is useless in most countries, plus you have to pay extra monthly to have this feauture
2. 16 gigs of internal memory is not a big deal since n95 can have up to 16 gigs too(internal 8 plus 8+ with microsd)
...so what is new anyway with n96? .....and why shoul i buy a copy of n95 giving double money??
Its obvious that nokia didnt make anything new for the last 9 months!!(

t, 14 Jun 2008what is fm radio with rdsYou know how if you're listening to a song on the radio and you don't know who sings it? Or what the song name is? or What station you're listening to? well with RDS that is no more. It encodes digital data along which tells you all that information :D
However, it is only supported by Europe and America. If you're in any other part of the world you won't get that info.

Lol... well we know it has at least one buyer.
I can only hope this is better than the N95 models, about 10% of which came back early life failure to our shops within a month. Nokia is getting slack, methinks...
