You mean the second N96, not N95?

Not surprised about the lack of queue, no one knew when the flipping thing would be released! :-)

The N96 is definitely available in the UK, Nokia's British online shop has it in stock:

It's also available in Finland if anyone's interested:

i only had a real quick play with it this morning.

on wifi.

it had some buffering - but no more than i get on the same network using iplayer on a desktop computer.

not sure if 3g is supported will try that later.

one immediate issue
N96 has a 4:3 screen
all iPlayer content is 16:9
so that 2.8 inch screen is about 25% unused...
