@voda jon
I am giving you my view on navigation based on my experience. I use: P800, P900, P910, P990, M600, W950, Nok 9500, Nok 7710, Nok N95, XDA Exec and Clie TH55. Quick Office with write capability is not included with the N95. While with the E90 Quick Office that can create documents is included. RAM is an issue on the P990 as well - I know as I had one of he first retail units in the UK. I have been caught out by the RAM issue on the N95 - I now have the latest firmware. Noticed that you did not mention the line out problem.

I don't know if the P700 will be the phone for me, I think I'd prefer a communicator or slider type phone to get a larger keyboard. I do know that while the N95 may be a great phone there are a lot of people who don't really care about all the features it has. For me at least, I need to be able to respond to emails and edit office docs on my phone. I rarely, if ever, have time to watch a video on my phone and on the also rare occassions when I need to use my phone as a camera I don't really care if it is 5 megapixel or 3, I'm not going to print 8x10 photos. Besides camera phones are a long way from replacing real cameras, you just can't put an adequately sized sensor in their to justify the high megapixel count, and there is no optical zoom.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't need to send a lot of emails or edit office docs and have time to watch videos and enjoy the multimedia funtions of the N95. For those people this may be the perfect phone. But that does not mean it is the perfect phone for everyone, there is no such thing. However, if Nokia or SE or anyone made a slimmer and shorter version of the E90 with a touch screen that would come awfully close. I could even live without the touchscreen on a phone like that. |

Like others, just sharing my experience based on actual usage...
Line out problem - suggest you check the forums that discuss the N95, its not just me that has noticed this. Thw N95 has superb sound reproduction, better then any SE phone. But why did Nokia add the line out noise?

Well my mate has loaned me his one for the weekend (whilst I'm up in bonnie Scotland for a wedding).
Will be trying to put it through it's paces (if I get a chance).
Any questions - pls feel free to ask and I'll try to answer them.

Exactly people should decide which phones is for them. For me it has to be the p700 over the n95 because I could do with the qwerty, not worried to touch the touchscreen, its the quickest input and hope for a better battery life than the n95 has. I tried to download the nokia maps of england 90mb for my n95 and the waiting time was 5000 hours and counting, maybe their server crashed? Apart from the battery life its a phone with very high standards and quality.
But I would rather have a qwerty and se's 3.2mpix than nokias 5mpix and have a bigger touchscreen than 16m colours. I still need to download the maps but I don't think I need gps or hsdpa (gprs/wifi combi and a plain maps app is fine), especially if instead I have longer battery life.
This is what I think se is going for and its a good idea.
Shame uiq3 is quite crap, especially the music and radio players in it. |

With Marc SE's post lets get back to the P700!
No specific tests or anything, would just like your overall opinion after using for the weekend mate! Little mini review if you get time would be good!
Also, nice one for the firmware info in your earlier post, most important bit of info in this thread for a long while!!! |

One thing I've noticed so far - and this is almost DEFINITELY to do with pre-release firmware: the camera doesn't always work as expected when fired up. Sometimes the screen shows a dark image or one with a purple haze.
Got to Tulloch Castle Hotel in Dingwall, nr Inverness a few hours ago and switched the WiFi on, found 3 networks within a few seconds.
The theme on here already looks really nice with the iPhone icons (same as in the pictures I posted at the weekend).
The status light at the bottom is very useful! I've got the handset in my backpack with the charger/light pointing up at me. Light flickers quickly if there are any messages to read.
Not sure about the lanyard bit - the 'eye' for the lanyard ruins the straight line of the left edge. Not sure why they couldn't have a flush design instead.

Hi Jah and all,
I am not a fan of sliders and had no intention of ever getting a N95 not enough of a change from my now sold N93, sorry maybe my joke was in bad taste but is that not a big compliant on the UIQ3 devices or so i had read. I really can't comment on how bad this problem is or isn't but whilst some have this complaint many others don't and are more than happy with the sound. Some have problems with sliders or screens also i have heard but some have no problems just part of the perils of being an early adopter and something nearly all devices seem afflicted with none seem to be all perfect.
Ares i really do wish you would practice what you preach and yes you are so right as my Pm's from people hold the same opinion of you as i do and we all can't be wrong, Can we??
You see Ares you never answer or quantify your statements the only thing you do is divert to other problems as a smoke screen and then play hard done by. Poor poor Ares as for you not bothering with me again please stop saying it and just do it as i really am finding you extremely tedious and boring so go away and grow up and stop spitting your dummy out you child.
As it appears you can't act like a grown up and accept anyone else's point of view if it differs from yours, in fact you can't even accept facts if they don't support you how very sad really.
Have you considered seeking professional help you could certainly benefit from some.
Marc

We can argue if a device has faults or is lacking but that may still be the best device for some if not all.
Marc
This more or less sums it up. Sure, there will be fans of each make and model but eventually it is our habits and preferences that determine which is best for us. We have to accept that there may be others who think otherwise, which is fine. It doesn't mean that we are wrong or they are wrong. A little respect and tolerance goes a long way...
P990i: A mistake, a curse and a disgrace  So I lowered my expectations and settled for a P1i. I couldn't keep my expectations so low for a long time so now I have an HTC Touch HD |

As a reaction to "One of my questions will be why is it called P700i!"...... rog over at M-R replyed with "Don't have to ask that question, it will not be called like this"!!!! I trust rog for the full 100%.... so it won't be called P700i after all... how strange.
