I was just wondering, has any one else noticed that the N96 seems to be lacking a ‘pencil’ key?

@Tim
Thanks for your point out.
My phone is sometimes sluggish and it might as well be quite true that my phone is a bit malfunctioning.

Anyhow I can manage without help and the option in app.manager
(although they can prove to be quite useful of course)
I’m planning to switch my phone in the near future anyway, most likely to a N85, where the microusb charging is a plus for me as I’ve got a Jabrat BT8040.
(Travel light is what they say)

@Cheung Yuen Wong : I think your device is definitely malfunctioning. I have experienced occasional slowdowns on my N82 (especially while running Java apps), but NEVER an out of memory message. Most of the time I dont even know how many apps are running since the end key doesnt usually close apps, but it was never a problem for me. Also, there are only a few handsets in the world with 128 MB of memory like N82/N96.

I think N96 is overkill. What would you use that 16 GB memory for, if the battery is so stingy? Also, I was never a fan of the N95 because of its size and heft – same goes for this one. On the risk of sounding like a broken record, N85 is a step in the right direction (although I hate those curved corners and how they clash with square screen corners), both in terms of size, weight, and crucially, price.

Meanwhile, I can rest comfortably knowing that I have the best bargain in the NSeries family, i.e. the N82. It has everything the N95 8GB has (except for that 8GB thing, crippled by USB 1.1), in a smaller, lighter package.
