Well having owned the Nokia N96 for just under one year I would describe the phone as a great alternative for someone who does not like touch screen phones.

Lets start with the good points, the camera is superb and is only made better by the latest firmware update. The operating system(although sometimes slow) is very flexible and allows alot of different software and applications to be installed like Google maps and MSN Messenger.
The built is GPS is fantastic, the navigation is very clear and it obtains a GPS lock very quickly, although the downside is you only get 3 months for free and then after that you have to pay.

Now onto the negatives, the main one being the dreadful battery life. Although greatly improved on its predecessor the N96 quickly uses its battery life when talking or using most applications. I usually charge the phone every 2 or 3 days. Another bad point the phone is reliability, the phone often hangs or crashes with the only way to reset it being to take out the battery.

Overall I would recommend the N96 to people looking for a good smart phone. Just make sure you check for the latest firmware updates for the phone as they greatly improve its speed and performance.
