Thanks alot for your interesting info, made me decide I'll skip this one, as it doesn't add enough to the N95-1 and N95 8GB we already have.
Btw, the first firmware-update is out for the N96.

Amnesia, did you try playing the pre-recorded "Transformers" .mp4 trailer on N96? Does it play smoothly? It lags on my phone and runs perfectly on old N958Gb. That's very frustrating, because all .mp4 videos are played same way. |

@orlo, It played smoothly but took a while to load up.
However after doing a hard reset, it won't play anymore! It says that it's locked! Wtf...
Also I have done the firmware update,
it did not improve ANYTHING.
I think it made things worse! Phone calls now crackles a bit sometimes.
When I receive a message and hit reply it takes 30 seconds to actually open up the reply box.
The phone's battery doesn't even last a day and I don't talk that much! I find the bar is NOT accurate as well. It's full and drops to HALF all of a sudden. It last from 9am to 11:20pm where it started to say 'battery low'
What made me angry is that it hasn't even been a WEEK and the phone is already 100 pounds cheaper in stores!

no problems at all with my N95 8GB.
Sometimes it gets a bit slow, but that's rare. |

@djin,
last week it was 4,200Qatari Riyals
This week it's 3,500 Qatari Riyals.
I imagine the price will drop to around 2,800

no I bought it at a mobile store in Qatar.
Axiom in Qatar it much more expensive than most stores.
Dubai just recently got this phone (on a side note)

axiom just gets them from the dealers directly and sometimes import which aren't covered by warranty.
Nokia is selling them 80GBP cheaper than Axiom and that includes a 1 year international warranty!
