Come on, I know you are Nokia-biased on this website but even with the latest firmware and no other funky software, my N96 is sluggish in the extreme. Granted, stability problems have been addressed but the interface speed (think 5s to load the main menu from a reboot, 3-4s to show my address book) and the appalling battery life make it no more "great" that it is "little". Having lived with this thing for several months, I could take no more. A SE W715 does everything this slow, hulking brick does and it does it without making me wait for it to happen or running out of batteries. The N96, IMHO, seriously sucks. Seriously. “great little Nokia device”? Come on, I know you are Nokia-biased on this website but even with the latest firmware and no other funky software, my N96 is sluggish in the extreme.
