N95 8Gb or N78

Guys

It's upgrade time, time to move on from my trusty N95. The natural path would seem to be a N95 8Gb, which I can only get on an 18-month contract without shelling out a small fortune each month. Not happy with being tied to one phone for 18 months but then again, the N95 has been the best phone I have ever had.

The N78 appeals as I like the design, the FM transmitter is something I would use every day, and not too fussed about the camera... plus I can get it on a 12 month contract. Aside from a smaller screen, doesn't seem anything it can't do that the N95 8Gb can.

Ideally I'd like to wait til the N96 appears but it is just going to be too expensive.

Thoughts and opinions welcomed.

Ta!

If your going to use the transmitter, and its cheaper, and your not bothered about the shortfalls (camera, screen), then its a no brainer.
However, it would be a very good idea to try out the buttons before buying. The whole small buttons thing nokia are doing is not loved by everyone, me included. I simply could not get along with the N82's buttons.
