I had a N95 before this one, and it was a lot faster.

If you read some reviews on the internet about the N96 you will find that navigating threw menu's is rather slow and the applications sometimes are as well. This is mainly due to Nokia putting a smaller processor unit in it. It can be bothersome having to wait a couple seconds while its loading but I don't care so much. The battery life isn't that good as well, it works for about 4-5 days.

That is the only really problem I have encountered with the phone. For the rest it's perfect. The camera makes really good quality pictures. if you want some examples all of the photo's in this TR are made with it.

The navigation works pretty good as well. though I dont use Nokia's software I use freeware: Nav4all It doesn't cost a thing and tough the graphics aren't that good it brings you from a to b and it has never let me down.

If you have any other questions please ask.
