Hi all!
I am about to change my phone and I was hesitating between the W995 and the N96.
I need your expert advise before the big jump!
Thanx in advance.

Could you post the requirements you have in mind for the new handset? That would really help people recommend a choice.

...title has a typo. I understand, the black w995 does look like the n95-8GB

I've been using a Nokia 6110 Navigator for the last couple of months, but I had a w800i for years before that.
I loved the W800i. It is like a Swiss knife. It does everything I need (execpt wifi and GPS). I don't find the same easy feeling using with the Nokia 6110...
PS1: Yes there was a typo! I meant N96!
PS2: My requirements are everything that a mobile phone can have!
I mainly need : Good camera, Wifi, Torch lamp, Gps, music player... and eventually good phone features!

I can't believe i am doing this..
If you were to compare two phones a Nokia and an SE the N96 is not the best choice. Its much better to choose between the N86 and the W995 as they are basically the same phone different company.

Music player- W995 (slicker looking)
Music quality- N96 (music chips)
Screen- N96 (larger screen)
Interent- N96 (better web browser)
Looks- W995 (looks metal)
Memory- N96 (flash memory)
User interface- W995 (logical and praticle)
Photo gallery- W995 (slick)
Video player- N96 (faster and more options)
Organiser- N96 (smart phone)

Personally i would fo for the W995 even though the N96 is better in every way.

If you liked the W800i then you'll love the W995. The UI is a breeze and you'll enjoy the extra features.
There is no replacement for actually trying the phones out yourself in store though so do that if you can.

Apparently you've never used a N96, it looks great on paper, when compairing specs, but it's a disappointment in daily use, and I mean
real use, not only calling and texting : it lags, hangs, Mobile TV isn't working most of the time, cam (though also 5 mp) is not as good as the cam in the N95 and these are only a few of the let-downs, which made my brother-in-law sell it after 4 months (in which it was 3 weeks away for repair twice). He's now happily using his trusty N95 8GB again

.
I'd advise snoopa to consider the N86 instead.

Err, for audio quality check out the gsmarena charts. Its supposedly the best sounding phone in the market right now. The w995. So anyone else who says that a nokia sounds better is BS.
