Between the two, I would definitely go for the 96.
However, I hope your upgrade will be free...from what I can tell, there is not a great difference between the n95 8gb and the n96. Not so much an upgrade as a tweaking imo.

masseur,
Does it not pick up the normal digital telly signal? If not then I did read something about it being launched on UK networks. Not sure which though.
EDIT:
I just googled it, I didn't know it was a special signal ooopps. All I can see though are trials in the UK??? Ranging in dates from 2005 to this year.

The Virgin "Lobster" had mobile TV, Was this not using this signal? If not then it must have been using their mobile data service. BUGGER THAT! haha

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.

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!)

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
