Nokia's coming soon flagship multimedia computer, the Nseries N96 may well hit the UK on 31 July if a pre-order page on Play.com is to be believed.

Oddly Enough, I feel that the N96 is everything the N95 should have been.

* 3.5mm Jack ON-TOP! The N81 had this before the N95 began shipping, if I'm not mistaken.
* DVB-H (I'm so STOKED over this technology, and with DISH Network trialing DVB-SH on Satellite; backward DVB-H bands should be supported in the USA; just hoping Canada will go with this as well). DVB-H will be HUGE for users on the N92 or N77 that also would like stereo speakers (N77 has this).
* Navi-Wheel; again the N95 should've had this.
* 16GB is more like bragging rights, I feel this is the significant hardware piece that jumps the price along with the seperate DVB-H antenna & radio.
* will the camera quality significantly improve in all areas & abilities?

Personally I LOVE the button arrangement on the N96 vs all the N95's. It's more powerful and efficient to use given its layout. It's just that maybe the N96 should've waited for a higher, quality MP Camera with say Liquid Lense technology?!!

Guys does the N96 really have a weaker cpu than the N95?
The Nokia forum states that the N96 has a ARM9 CPU @ 264 MHz and the N95 a ARM11 CPU @ 332MHz.
It also seems like that the N96 doesn't have a 3D Graphics HW Accelerator.
