the n96 offers only a new (slimer more elegant, less bombproof) design – bigger memory and a less mature firmware.
it does have the killer application – iPlayer, with downloadable content (streaming on 3g via three) and i cant even do that on my mac desktop.
it handles mp3/video play back in hardware.
and the battery really isn't that bad.
I'm fed up with all the ignorant “its got no 3d chip” comments – apart from some hackware nothing
used it in anger so it makes no real difference. and it would seem no new nokias are going
down the 3d GPU route – though this may change.

for me its an evolution product – not the revolution the N95 was.
and in a few months its firmware will sort out 90% of the issues.
its biggest issue is the potentially more exciting products using 5th edition around the corner.
well realistically that's probably april next year. Touch N series with comes with music anyone?

having played a bit with an n85 last week – i would plump for the N96 over the N85 anyday
but imagine lots of people prefering the slimmer / smaller N85
