Nokia N96 got a closeup at
Engagdget Mobile. I can't say the minor design update is anything to write home about, but according to them, the fit and finish is much better than N95, making you "feel" like you actually own a premium smartphone. The major tweaks are: 2-LED flash,
DVB-H Mobile TV, and 16GB Memory + MicroSD slot. The memory update is probably the most significant. Not knowing whats on the inside (processor, etc), I can't really judge if the phone is better or worse.
In the spirit of keeping things simple, I finally created a table for the N95/96 comparison for your convenience.

This one won't last, I just got an email from Amazon for their deal of the day with Nokia N96 smartphone at $449 shipped. Better hurry my Symbian S60 loving friends!
According to PhonesReview, Nokia N96, the successor to the flagship Nseries N95 smartphone will be available by July 31st this year. As mentioned before, this phone will include DVB-H mobile TV and dual LED flash on top of whats already available from the N95 (3G data, Quad-band GSM 
network, WiFi, GPS, Symbian S60 3rd edition, etc.). A kick-stand is now available to help propping the phone on a desktop for a better video viewing angle.
