Well, from 100's of review's you could've found by google'ing, you would know that the video recorder is generally a hair better than the n95 at this point, even though I believe further down the line they will be identical with fw upgrades. On the other hand, the still shot photo's are day and night in comparison.
I've done a bunch of recording - museums and places like that with high to average lighting and the video's are fantastic for what it is. nightime sucks obviously.
The battery life was surprisingly good, I took over 100 (135 exactly) shots w/ and w/o flash, recorded 3 - 5 minute videos, used the navigation to find my way to the museum for about 45 minutes or so, and I was still left with 1 bar. Not to mention i went on the web and did my typical email checking and things like that w/ a few calls. For being a phone and using batteries which havent broke grounds yet on par with phones, i think thats about as much as you could ask for, considering its size.
