Each of these is a very good smartphone and multimedia creation tool. The two most important factors, price and form factor preference, are up to you. Yes, the N96 is a bit faster, has arguably the better camera and a larger display, but the price tag is hefty. The N85 mirrors nearly every feature and brings down size while costing $200 less. Since the biggest missing feature, broadcast TV on the N96, doesn't work in the US we...

The conclusion on Nokia N96 is actually very simple. That’s not the best solution around as far as the price/functionality ration is concerned. N96 is obviously an all-in-one solution, but doesn’t stand up to the level of N95 or N85. Nokia N96...
