All are good choices for phones, and although i don't know exactly what particular specs or features you want in your phone, but they all seem to be different from other phones. But I would not go for the N96 if you are also thinking of the N97, as the N97 is more advanced and better!

Good luck what ever you choose, and let us know which phone you do end up getting!

i guess it is 16 GB.right.


Then the main feature i look for is the multimedia.
large screen,more format support, battery stability to support multimedia features and last but not least the package(supporting accessories) they offer for the phone

i agree....iphone jus a sad phone....be it cost or features.....!!!!some specs r really good on it but the remaining ones are not worth it....!

ok. i made one thing clear, NO IPHONE. because most of my friends also suggest the same.

so i will consider about the N96 or N97.

i will let you know what i have bought, as soon as after Christmas.because i expect some cool offer bundle with the phone.

Anyway thanks for your efforts in suggesting me.

Therez only one thing good in iPhone... It is a class apart! U can't see it in the hands of every tom, dick and harry...
