great! thanks for the heads up..
as for differences between the phones.. the n96 has two functioning led's for better pictures with the camera.. its slightly wider i believe and a tad bit lighter than the previous n95 8 gb.. other than that the only two differences functionality wise is it has a Digital-Video-broadcast-handheld (DVB-H) function for live tv which wont work here in pakistan..as well as twice the memory.. 16 GB.
buttons wise it looks like the n81 somewhat.. the two extra features are definitely not worth an extra 20 thousand but i'm a nokia nut and i guess i'll go for it too.
