My misses has an N73, funnily enough I thought it was better than a newer N80wotsit phone a mate had.

Dunno anything about the N96 but it'll have to be pretty damn good to be a worthy upgrade. (for the misses, I'll just have her old one )

Even tho I have my iPhone now, I'm slightly interested in getting one of these just to play around with it as it seems to be the most hyped phone of late - I wanna see what all the fuss is about!

Wonder if they'll let me get one for free on upgrade?

Whats better this or the IPhone?? I was gonna go buy my IPhone today, but may hold off for this!

Im used to a Samsung D900 and a very old Nokia, so not used to all this new technology in phones! I will be using it for browsing the net and playing my music. Any other features are a bonus

if you want fancy gimmicks go for a iphone, if you want a phone that doe what a phone should do then nokia.

iphone is good for web browsing but pretty much useless as a phone as std, unless you add 3rd part apps. its having alot of problems with true 3G where as the nokia is HSPDA (3.5g)
and the fact to use it to its ful potential you have to use ITUNES

ive had both and id stick with nokia

i want the n96 too, but my contracts not up for a while. I'll be interested to see what the google phone is like, as in my experiance the problem with these things is that they could do all these really sweet things IF someone would make the software work and google are likely to support this really well. It'll be a toss up between the two, though I did say I wasnt buying anything appart from nokia after my last smartphone.

I'm just interested to see if the"gPhone" is going to come out at all. It's been "almost" out, and even "out next week/month" for over 2 years now

It has the potential to be superb, but as you say, it's down to the software and support. Google have opened the software up to developers, just like the iphone, tho to be fair, a bit more open source than Apple allowed, so there should be good variety, but that does slow everything down in terms of getting it finalised and launched as everything needs submitting, testing and approval....

Keen to see it in action tho

If you had it on order for so long and think it's an awesome phone, why sell it so soon?

I prefer the look of the n85 to be honest duw out in a few weeks.

Looks better than the n96 and has USB charging and an FM transmitter (can play your tunes throught your radio) which are both not on the n96

only down side is no touch screen, does the n96 have this ?
