Question N96 or N85 ?

well i asked voda for a pac code and to make me stay they offered me a free phone, i asked for an N85 and was told it wasnt out for a very long time so they gave me an N96 (not bad on a £15 a month contract) The phone arrives in the morning, should i keep it sealed and ebay it then get the N85 direct from nokia uk (in stock and shipping) ive not seen one they just look so much nicer and better built. Pros and cons please

Re: N96 or N85 ?

well ive found out how to make the 96 more popular on ebay and the going price if sold with the correct end time would appear to be just over £400 so that almost covers a new N85 direct from nokia
Ill await your hands on verdict with anticipation
Thanks
