New guy need some advice on which phone to buy - N95-2, N95-4, or N96

Tough choices! Can't someone just make a phone that is superior in every way to the competition?

I started looking at the N85 yesterday after some replies about it. Of everything I've seen out there, it would definately be the best choice for me other than my iPhone. I just love the idea of having an FM receiver and transmitter and good battery life for a smartphone. And the new screen looks like it would be really cool.

In saying all that, I would really miss some features of my iPhone. I like the larger screen, the web browsing capabilities, and the qwerty keyboard (I really can type faster with that over a keypad, but YMMV).

Thank you guys so much for the responses. You're a tremendous help. Now I am going to research the Symbian OS because I know very little about it. I'm curious how it compares to Windows Mobile 6 & 7.

One last question. One other alternative for me is the AT&T Tilt. I wonder if someone might give me their opinion on the Tilt versus the N85 or N95-4. I've had a Windows mobile phone before, and it can be a pain in the butt sometimes. Opinions? Again, you guys have a great forum here. Thanks!

I had the N95-3 and now the N95 4, to be honest, I prefer the N95-3 (But I already sold it to buy the new one...) but if you ask me to choose, between nokia and Iphone, buy the Nokia, beautiful toy and external office, I have a bluetooth kboard and works great and solve the issue of the on screen keboard or numpad alpha kboard. stay with the Nokia N95 (now you can go to 16 GB on the N95 3).

BTW, reagrding the OS, don't go to Windows Mobile, the integration with Outlook is so easy and the sync is easier (if you have vista is a pain in the neck and lower....)

Go Symbian...I had a Gloofish M600 and the HP 6945 with WM (6 and 5) and I love the Symbian
