oh lets not get boba into a battery debate 
the only reproducable things I see is the slowness of locking the GPS signal. considering it has a sirf III gps it takes 2 minutes to re-lock onto a signal in the same location as last time whereas my garmin takes 10 seconds or less
otherwise all I have experienced is 2 random freezes requiring a battery pull and an auto restart the first time I connected to the web
I'm pretty shure n95 has a sirfII gps |

"A subjective first impression suggests the N95 has similar capabilities to SIRF II GPS chipsets. As with any GPS, performance will vary on your location and degree of visibility of satellites."

@masseur
(Someone posted) You can get lock faster if you open the "View->Satelite Info" view while waiting for lock.
I can attest to this because it took me about 1-2 min to get a lock now from cold start (instead of 2-5min) before. For previously locked on locations, it now takes 20-40 secs (instead of 1-2min)
BUGS FOUND
=========
1. Sometimes "Multimedia" key stop working after running some program.
2. Battery meter is not accurate. Drop 1st bar (of 7), battery is already half empty. Charge battery for 20-30min from empty and unplug - battery shows full.
3. (feel free to add on)
TIPS & TRICK
==========
1. In main menu, a Blue circle next to icon indicates the App is active and running in background. Use Task manager to show.
2. In main menu Options->Icon Animation->On. Now your icon is animated
3. Press the button (next to photo shuttle button) to call up Gallery. You can save 1 shortcut by remove Gallery from Active Standby.
4. Long press the "Multimedia" key to go into music player (you can save another shortcut in Active standy). Note: multimedia button bug above!!
5. Get the freeware FExplorer. In it there is an option->Phone->Restart. Use this to do a warm-reboot (boot time is less than half compared to if you press on/off)
6. (feel free to add on)

Yes that is true, which surprised me because i could do it on my N73 and N80 before that hmm i wonder why.
Also when i connect to my wireless networks sometimes its very slow and i mean the phone itself not the internet very sluggish. Anyone else had this? |

yep. sure is. seems half the sites I read say one thing but the other, more accurately say what you say, so that explains a slower lock on

yep. do that all the time now since I read that a while back too
I used the N95 instead of my Garmin around Frankfurt and Wiesbaden today and once locked on, it didn't let me down. so I'm happy with this feature now

The only thing I have noticed is the battery thing where the bars go down slowly at first and then all of a sudden your battery is dying!
And the other problem was the GPS, I agree it takes ages! and getting a signal is dire! |

no icon animation on voda firmware.
Can't wait to get the damn unlock code. Then I'll flash it to firmware with arabic language support (if I can find the damn product code).
oh I'll be sad to lose the voda theme though, I like it

Hi Boba,
I believe in the N95 that is no longer the case it does indeed only have one browser that does both. I actually never use the services browser at all as i HATE WAP.
