If you're patiently waiting until next Wednesday to rush out and nab yourself an N96, then if you live anywhere near London you could have one right now. Yep, Nokia's only gone and snuck it out a week early in its flagship stores.

Depending on whether you're closer to the Regent Street branch or the Heathrow Terminal 5 store (and you're okay with leaving the country, because it's the other side of security) you need to get your skates on and get over there sharpish if you want to get your mitts on Nok's telly toting handset.

Alternatively, if you're happy to wait a couple of days, you could save yourself a trip to the big smoke and order one from Nokia's Online Shop instead.

Finally, if the £535 asking price seems a little steep, then you could try and win one by entering your email address here and then printing out the form you receive and taking it along to one of the above mentioned stores with your fingers crossed and your lucky pants in tow.
