My upgrade is due in 4 weeks and as a very happy n95 user the natural progression is to the n96, However with the release of the 3g iphone i am now thinking of going for that instead, the only thing that concerns me is i use the camera on my n95 a lot for work and photographing and videoing my daughters am i going to be disappointed by the camera considering it`s only 2mp.
Does anybody have experience of using both phones(orignal iphone/n95)?

Well, if camera is a priority.. Maybe you should stick to the N96:-)... For the others, the iphone should do well.

The iPhone doesn't do video recording at all...another thing to think about. |

there are a couple of good free apps that do video recording quite well on the iphone, I use one call iphone video recorder and it takes the video first and then encodes to mp4 when the recording is finished

IMO the iPhone is a waste of time. Get the N96, it's camera will be way better, the N95 always wins group tests in regards to camera's. Plus if you REALLY want to you can watch telly on the N96. |

But, at what resolution/fps? qvga at 15fps is acceptable.. Nothing below that.. Also, you may consider the iphone only if you are not much into symbian 3rd party apps. Although now there are a variety of iphone apps as well:)

N96 is certainly the better spec'd device, no question. I'm probably getting one which my son will probably inherit (as well as the 3g iphone!)
@apolloa, who is broadcasting on DVB-H in UK? I don't think anyone is yet

masseur,
Does it not pick up the normal digital telly signal? If not then I did read something about it being launched on UK networks. Not sure which though.
EDIT:
I just googled it, I didn't know it was a special signal ooopps. All I can see though are trials in the UK??? Ranging in dates from 2005 to this year.

Between the two, I would definitely go for the 96.
However, I hope your upgrade will be free...from what I can tell, there is not a great difference between the n95 8gb and the n96. Not so much an upgrade as a tweaking imo. |

The Virgin "Lobster" had mobile TV, Was this not using this signal? If not then it must have been using their mobile data service. BUGGER THAT! haha

Go for the iPhone 3G, you won't regret!
Easy to use (very user friendly), you can sync your data from your Pc or mac, battery life is awesome (Blockias can't say the same), and everything works out the box.
