I can get more than enough stuff on it. I'm having a hard time deciding how I am going to fill 16gb on the N96! The N95 8GB is one of my favorite phones for sure.

I am quite tempted to take it to the second hand electronics store in town and exchange it for a N95! I am just trying to convince my other half that it is in fact a good idea! I take a lot of photos and wish i could take videos from my iphone. I do like the internet access on the iPhone but ultimately if i can get to google i can find out the answers to the random questions i ask of it! With the 8GB model I can fit all my music and still lots of room! I have an iPhone and it has to be said I am gaining more and more of a dislike to it.

I also have Nokia 6220 but I am afraid they can not compare. I use MacBook and iPod so I love Apple interface. After I got N73, I was totally boring about my new gadget - and this was the first time ever! It is an amazing combination of functionality and durability. This year we went to Ecuador and my phone was one of just two in our group that could work on their networks. The battery life is great - I use both Visual radio (would prefer FM though), media player and internet access on daily basis. I often read news on my mobile on the train going to town (London). Having a great camera is fantastic, and I have often made better photos with it than those around me with dedicated cameras. I very rarely use the video. having bluetooth on both phone and my laptop makes transfers a doddle. I have GoogleMaps on my mobile which allows me to find directions when I need to - not exactly very fast but it is there and works when you need it. Oh, and I should say I am 59 year old woman (though I am an electrical engineer and computer scientist by training). So, my vote is for NSeries!!!!

FWIW it seems to me that the standard for both video consumption and creation is YouTube, this is where Nseries really pulls ahead of the iPhone, with apps like emTube & MobiTubia letting you save YouTube content locally on your device, and the the 30fps VGA camera for creating content of your own...

I guess without 3g, which is only today hitting the Blackberry Bold in Canada, there are bandwidth and consequently battery life issues. You are probably correct that this is the cause. Now...I can say Ken and I talked extensively about this subject. On Squawkbox again this morning the discussion actually wound up with people making tongue in cheek comments about 3g and the lack of effectiveness on the iPhone. I don't have an iPhone so can't say. They also commented that in some places it's still not usable. Dan York for instance made that comment. He says in New Hampshire where he lives he has no 3g service. Our current model of Blackberry doesn't have 3g ability and I don't know how important it is if the battery will die within a short period of time. I don't need the bandwidth for email and gtalk or any of the other IM services I use. Personally for a cell phone, and data service device, I can't imagine a better mobile than my BB. Having said that, I do not have a Nokia e71 et al. Perhaps had I gotten one of those for my first smart phone I wouldn't have been so in love with my BB. I like the N95. I like nokia. I just really like the qwerty keyboard and as I have BB service I see no need to buy an iPhone or Nokia device simply to add another bill to my already extensive mobile cost per month. Now...if someone GAVE me one, I might be more inclined. As that isn't happening, I'll stick with what I have and continue loving it.
