There is no AT&T here. Data plans cost between 7 and 10 EUR here for mobile phones (above the other costs) although these do have a FUP. IMO its very unwise to buy a N95 right now because in less than a month the N96 is released and this will lower the old stock of N95's considerably (at least -1 and -2 versions). I saw this happening with N95-1, too.

You're right about the differences between the N95-2/N95-4 and the N96. With software updates you can get your N95 a lot better (I heard even supporting DVB-T?) at least say A-GPS support. And, speaking of which, the on-board GPS on the N95-2/N94-4 series is also _very_ good. The difference between N95-2 and N96 is, all in all, not huge but if you look carefully, there are some small changes which quite change the usability. Improve (better form factor, good GPS when 'intact', better battery life with less strong battery), or in some ways perhaps even negative (slower processor, no 3D acceleration). I am definately waiting for reviews first.

As for the camera. I always want to carry a camera with me, and always do. Policeman beating an old lady and you want to photograph the event? N95/N96 is more than good enough. N8x0 isn't. Car crash, wanting to quickly take picture including license plate? N95/N96 is more than good enough. N8x0 isn't. Basically, the mobile phone of the N95/N96/N82 is good enough for most people. Heck, it even allows flawless integration with social networking sites. With geotagging. Would be hard to censor that. Professionals carry better, dedicated cameras. Sure. Worth the extra spice, time, and effort. Well, unless someone asks you to remove the picture, "or else..."
