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!)

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.
Too late.. the poster seems to have made a the decision already..

its not really too late as neither phone is actually available today, and infact their current choice won't be available for a few more weeks, so any input has the potential to be important to nicv27 and is perhaps something previously not considered, which may change his mind (though I doubt it!)

Yeah.. I was talking about the decision to get one of these devices.. just maybe if he decides to go in for the User Experience of the Iphone. Personally, I think he will not find much of a difference in the usability factor if he decides to go in for the N96.. .. almost the same as the N95.
The Iphone, though down on features should be a (welcome) change.. if he can live with it.

Once again thanks for all your replies, i have made a decision if it was purely on wow factor then the iphone would win, The major concern is that the iphone cant record video i know Masseur highlighted an application that can make this happen but in 2008 i think a top of the range phone should be able to do this out of the box.
I will be choosing the n96 i know it`s very similar to the n95 but i have been very happy with it and now i have an o2 data plan i can email my work pics/videos when i need to.
Although there is always the Xperia x1
This can be locked if no one else minds

Before it's locked, may I ask when the N96 will be released on the networks - especially T-Mobile? |

Yeah, looking around the web you see varying timescales on it's launch. But I thought Nokia said towards the end of the year anyway? But I would imagine they want to take iPhone sales and the N96 will do it. | |
