Advantages: Good range of features.

Disadvantages: Battery life, can be slow.

This phone is quite a puzzler to be honest. It has a great many functions including video, internet and music player, not to mention the 5MP camera, however I find that sometimes it struggles to do the most basic things.
Opening new text messages can take up to a minute, and then the open the page to reply takes even longer sometimes.
I have also recently found that I cannot scroll to a contact and press the 'Call' button, and I have to type in the number on the home screen.
Apart from a few minor glitches the n96 really lives up to it's expectations of being one of the best phones on the market.
The camera is very good, although the Carl Zeiss flash isn't as good as the Zenon one on my previous phone (Sony Ericsson k850i), but the videoing facilities well and truly surpass it. The audio and visual quality on the videos are truly extraordinary.
The battery life seems to ebb quite quickly but it easily lasts me a day so therefore I charge it every night.
A great phone, but I'm sure a better one could be found.

Summary: I'd be lost without it, but unless you get it on contract it can be quite pricey.
