MariusKane · #3 (**permalink**) 08-28-2008, 07:16 PM

**Grumpy1979** · #4 (**permalink**) 09-01-2008, 06:30 PM

i am stuck, i like both phones, but i cant have everything i want, so if i had to choose i would say N96 just because of storage capacity. Great phones so hard to choose. thanks for laying it all out for us marius

**Spiral** · #5 (**permalink**) 09-01-2008, 07:07 PM

I will go for the nokia N96 : for The DVB-H TV broadcast receiver + it has mor storage than the N85 .
But in general both are super phones

MariusKane · #6 (**permalink**) 09-01-2008, 07:39 PM

The make the decision a little hard

**Grumpy1979** · #8 (**permalink**) 09-01-2008, 08:36 PM

here is my problem, i live in california. Tmobile in states doesn't sell this phone yet according to website, so now i am lost. i research and all the sites i find selling the N96 phone have the famous +44 number which according to the post i ready earlier on noeman is a tell tale sign of scammers. Oh quite the spot i am in.
