hi sorry if this is in the wrong place but cant see n96 forum yet anyway got my n96 on wednesday at lunchtime (dont ask me how it just turned up in the post!)so my first thoughts looks very good better than it does in a photo.buttons feel good all very flush and flat great for texting etc .i also like the way it fades up when lighting up and down. the video quality is astounding much clearer, crisper than n95 & 8gb but for some reason sound just not loud enough on preinstalled videos (a few bbc shows and n96 promo videos/adverts)on the down side apps take an age to open and replying to a message the phone just hangs for 5-10 seconds very frustrating but then a software update will solve this dont know when it will be released for my product code keep checking (via phone nice touch again) but no update availible sigh, current sw is 10.065 ,ok so real issues are it would not speak to my wifi router would connect then hang i have now solved the problem by changin my router to wep and all ok (was on wpa before) also beware when coping content of memory cards it copied music and photos ok and some videos then crashed and corrupted my memory card (lost all photos and videos)on phone and card. also sky anytime and lightsabre dont work lightsabre will install but wont open sky anytime is rejected before installing on the plus side the message reader is very funny (sounds like a female steven hawking)and will play any format of music and video even saved emtube clips of my n95 played and saved straight away! bbc iplayer is fantastic again brilliant quality pity its only with a wifi connection. and the autorotate is mush better than n95 and samirs!!! all in all it is gonna be a great phone after a few software updates and it does feel better in hand and pocket than n95 and really does have the wow factor
