OK..AVOID THIS PHONE. Received my N96 upgrade from my n95 8gb today and its gone straight back in the box and being returned. The phone is so slow compared to my n958gb.What the review above fails to mention is the fact that the processor is slower on the n96 and it is also missing the 3d chip used for gaming and other apps such as gps mapping. Look on Youtube for n96 vs n95 and look at the framerate that the preinstalled racing game runs at. the n96 feels very platic and flimsy. Also the camera takes very pale looking pictures (agreed this may be fixed in a firmware update).. Yes it has 16gb and looks pretty but that really is the only improvement. If you have an n95 then wait before you upgrade!!! I've had just about every N series phone and the N96 is the only one i've been really dissapointed with. I'm going to check out the samsung innov8 with 16gb and an 8mp camera.(with online video editing to 120fps)
