My Nokia N96
Phone owned for more than a year

This is the best nokia phone ever released on Symbian S60v3.
SPEED: GOOD!
CAMERA: Great!
DESIGN: Not so much because its slider type and slider type phones always suffer from Flex problems.

the battery life is not so much pleasing(or maybe my problem)

But this is the BEST nokia phone i ever used!

Best Phone I ever had in my hands! Highly underestimated!!!!
Uses a STn8815 multimedia co-processor, which specialises in decoding video and audio streams, resulting in super video compatibility and performance with better battery efficiency. Audio playback is also of higher quality than any Nokia since the N91. 
Excellent GPS reception, even when closed.
High speed USB (4 to 6MB/s)
Top slide multimedia controls, plus an extra set that light up around the d-pad if media is playing when the slide is closed. Plus a dedicated (and not much liked) 'multimedia' shortcut key. Plus a useful keylock toggle.
Via NSU or Over The Air, has User Data Preservation.
S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2
2.8" transflective screen, slightly brighter and clearer than the N95's in all light conditions.

It's a really good phone, I like it a lot, best phone i've ever had.  The camera is really good too.   All of the features are amazing, I love it! 

Only bad thing is the battery life, it's not the best but still, it's definitely not terrible.
