Wait until the N96 is released and then decide for yourself.

N96 is coming out soon, probably next week

Nice - looking forward to this one.

Will be selling my Samsung F490 down at CEX and hopefully will be able to pick one up once they are about.

N96 is coming out sometime in July for o2, the problem with the networks is that they always spend ages branding them so expect it July 20th or maybe even earlier.

you reckon this soon?

Manuals for the N96 are apparently on Nokia's site already.

Just been looking at the N96 on the Nokia site, it looks like it's only got a BL-5F, 950 mAh battery like the classic N95 (instead of the BL-6F 1200mAH like on the N95 8GB)

Wonder why they've gone backwards with battery life?

Probably to reduce space or weight as they have crammed more features into the phone.

So we get some nice new features, but can only use them for a few hours before we need to recharge. Nice one Nokia.....

TBH, Nokia battery life has been appauling for many years. Ive just learnt to live with it.
