The thing is, I really wanted the N96 to be the right phone.
I recognised that it was more an evolution from the N95 rather than the next
generation of mobile, but, it would have been a nice phone to have while we
were waiting.
But, as I said, it just also feels too delicate.
When I took the back off to put the battery and the Sim card in, it felt
like a Tupperware lid!

I agree Paul and I am a Braille reader too.Also I have useful vision but
still feel the N96 is not suitable for the vast majority of visually
impaired people.
