I am really interested in this little beauty. I think i'll be buying it in a couple of weeks (when i finally get paid). Apart from the phenomenonly high price, and the kinda sucky camera, its perfect.
I've got one little question. In the reviews and videos i've seen, it seems as if there's GPS integrated in the phone. Is there any truth to this?
I highly doubt there is, but are there options to geo-tag photos and such on the production units. I thought it might have just been pre-release firmware that had it accidentally slip in, a bit like the intergrated radio ariel

SE is nuts this sells here for +- 435 Euros, and on price comparision sites the cheapest was 409 Euros on an unknown german online shop (without shipment).
How can they possibly be serious this device has more or less the same specs than the c702(- stereo speakers + gps + autofocus) or w760, and those cost a little more than half this one.
Do they really think the 8Gb, will sell this device, Nokia N81 8Gb is 100 hundred Euros cheaper, while N95 8Gb is only 50 Euros more expensive !
Even G900 is 100 Euros cheaper and Memory Stick M2 micro sell for around 25-30 Euros around here !
It seemes to me they overprice a lot of their devices in a desperate attempt to make it look like they had to offer high-end phones.
This phone is not worth this price tag, hundred euros less, like w890 or w910 at their release would be discussable, but this is more or less an insult. |

nope
no bluetooth handset here either....
ehem
Bad camera, no AF, no flash,....it is really expensive, and I'm stupid for buying it.I love clamshells and I have been waiting for a clamshell walkman for years, but, still, it is my fault to buy it for soo much.Silly me!
Eventually, they will find out not many people will |

Urrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
I got mine today just one thing I would say is that
"ITS AWESOME" simply awesome
I am playing with it right now and have done a quick comparison with W950 and N95B in sound quality through headphones but actually my right ear is blocked (had a swim in beach yesterday) and cannot say anything about the richness of the sound at the moment. But any how my N95B is going to my drawer.
Will post loads of stuff about this beauty later in the evening but for now i am going offline as I can't stop playing with it.
Regards |
