RE:N95 or N95i..N96? !!!

Hi

I have an N93.I was interested in picking up an N95 which retails for abt 750US$ here in Bombay,India. The dealer is knocking off 250 US$ on the exchange price.

My question is whether i shoud wait for the N95i or something better to come out...maybe a N96(since its been quite some time since the launch of N95)

The reason for exchange is because i need the following features

1)5mpx+ Camera CCD or CMOS?(which ones better?)
2)DVD+ quality Video Recording,
3)GPS
4)Bluetooth with A2DP
5)Not a big fan of Clam Shells
6)HSDPA or 3.5 g(not too big onthis)
7) TV tuner-DVB-T
8)4 to 8 gb SD Card support for future proof
(am i being too !!!)

Since all the above equirements are not there in the N93 & the phone is too big & bulky (except the DVD quality recording)

Can anyone suggest a better phone.
I am not sure about the quality of the still pictures taken by the N95 as compared to a regular Sony Cybershot 5mpx camera.

Rumour has it that sony is launching Sofia which will have all of the above features.Sony`s image quality is excellent

Not interested in the Apple Iphone as it only has a 2 mpx camera(minimum should be 5)

How about the LG-KG920???..any better than N95???

My dilemma...should i wait for a few more days/weeks or just pick up the N95(as the exchange price for the N93 is falling by almost 50 bucks every week)

Please advise on a better phone if possible...price is not too big a factor

tnx and regards

Only comments I would make is that the 5MP camera on the N95 is not up to the quality of a proper 5MP digitial camera. I can take much better pictures with my proper Canon 5MP camera than I can with this.

Also, the GPS receiver is not by any means up to the quality of a good quality bluetooth GPS pebble or a TomTom for example. Usable just, but not great.
