I know what you mean, from an n95/8gb its a minor bump
and basically the same phone in the new nseries garb/button arrangement.
the tv stuff is next to useless outside of finland.
i hope the camera is
a) much faster
b) much better

Here in the Philippines, TV broadcast is not a problem that is why this phone is highly anticipated by me at least😉 anyways, when will this be release, cant wait to own one.

I am sure someone will work out a software hack to get DVB working in the uk, prob be something in the firmware that stops it maybe?

its not a hack thing - theres no one broadcasting in the way the n96 receives - so its basically some dead silicon on the circuit board for uk users (and most of europe/the world)

see n92/7770 - both never got released here due to that.

nice as it is - I'm waiting for 5800 or its nseries touch equilivant later in the year
