Hi Darla,
I was waiting for this one. Still, I am curious about if multi-tasking with this one is better compared to very first n95; like running a 3rd party software while listening music and checking pictures at the same time. Or are we just talking about an extra storage with 8mb; what's going on inside this device performance wise? We, US customers won't have 3G with this one by the way... Bulent
