The 6500 slide did look a better spec but I didn't try one.... prob should.
I got one of these this weekend on a free upgrade. Seems ot be ok right now. although when transferring contacts from the sim to the phone it blanked out & many didn't get moved and were lost

Luckily I had only copied them from my old phone and not moved them to the new sim. 3 times I tried and everytime it did this, so they are staying on the sim.
Found this very good in-depth review of the N95.

Seems very good with lots of features. I don't think I would have got it on a free upgrade and has lots of features I wouldn't use anyhow
