The N95 is a solid device, but the N96 brings the benefits of the 8GB N95 and the Xenon flash of the N82 together. The kickstand on the phone is also nice and the mobile tv (
DVB-H), but that really only becomes a factor if you are in an area that offers service.
BTW the N95 8GB has been down to $520 on Dell USA recently, the N96 will run you a solid $700 at launch date or more depending on internal memory.
