seems bbc are sending the N96 a lifeline (in the uk at least)
http://tinyurl.com/5j8uwx
with the right marketing and iPlayer shipping in uk retail units
it stands a chance.

presumably it will work on all recent s60 phones
but as you all know its the way its sold thats important

now N85 will probably have it too.

i heard oranger were ditching it too
its headed the way of many of the N 9 series – sim free only. – like N91/93/93i. N92 never even made it here sim free did it?

the main reason is O2 will be pushing the livign daylights out of the N85.
and teh N95 8gig is still a good seller – its as good/better than N96 and alot cheaper

The N96 is supposed to be the Nokia Flag Ship model but its taken so long to come out the other phones are coming out within the nokia range that have similar or better features….

Its really bad if the main nokia is not going to be covered by one of the big networks….

Does some of the blame lie with Nokia for taking such a long time to bring this phone to market?

Not specifically the N96 – but if they are looking at not having the N-Series and focusing more on the iPhone. I pay a fair bit a month and want a phone that reflects that, I personally don't think the iPhone does.

Did you really want the N96 that bad? What were the compelling improvements over the N95 8GB?

…that is, ones that make up for the drawbacks of a rubbish keypad and no graphics acceleration?

Oh dear… might have to consider my position when my contract is up with O2. Rubbish

I discussed getting the N96 with the O2 retention department a couple of weeks ago and they said that it had been delayed until October as they had “found issues” with it on the network. I therefore asked about the Samsung Omnia, and again they said they weren’t currently going to stock that either! Congrats to O2, they have now just lost a customer to Vodafone as we don’t all just want an iPhone! Perhaps they need to rename themselves to i2 instead of O2!
