Review:

I bought this product as I am a HUGE Nokia fan and supporter. I thihnk their user interface outstrips all of the competition, have great phones, superb build quality.

Then I bought an N96....

the phone does the job, but just lets itself down (if that makes sense). Nice wifi interface, GPS seems to work OK, I cna call and send texts without any problems. But it's the useability, taking (no exageration) over 90seconds before the phone allows you to make a call. An eon switching from one application to another. try going to n-Gage games takes such a long time.... I personally feel this is down to the S60 software, and possibly my network (Orange) not releasing the updates as quickly as they could.

I just feel let down. Sad to say I'm now looking at aother brands/network providers, and thats after many years with Nokia and Orange - sucha shame. :-(
