The n78 looks ok here too. Don't have the 3G issues, as they are both the same here (I guess 3G is something different in the states).
I guess I will see in September which one comes with the better contract.

I would personally never buy something for what it could be, always buy it for what it is now, and if it gets better that is great.
Other than that I would call it a very personal thing. The N95 is pretty much like your n73 with a few more features, the iPhone is very different. It would be impossible to say without knowing what you do.

It fell down a flight of concrete stairs, I was actually surprised to see the screen totally oblitorated. It still works, but I cant see what im doing. It was a pretty robust phone for it's overall plastic feel.

As for my new phone I just ordered an iPhone on ebay a day ago. My company gives me a Blackberry 8700 for work, so the iPhone will serve as my personal cell phone. I really thought about the N95 and it's 3g, but im not a great fan of the Symbian OS s60. Also, paying for 3g in Canada is completely ridiculous. I called Rogers (biggest and only GSM provider in Canada) and the best deal they could give me is 250$ a month, with a data cap in place. I know I will have to deal with EDGE on the iPhone, but on the other hand every big cafe and restaurant has wifi in place, so EDGE will only be used in between these places.

Wow. I mean, wow. I know that canadian money is worth nothing (well, I guess like american money these days) but still.. wow. How much data do you get for that?

I get a half gig thrown in with my 750 minute/month phone for £20 (currently $41 CAD), and I have a separate 3GB HSPDA modem for my laptop/eee for £15 (£25 for 7GB)

Wow.

Wow.
