I think your right there masseur, the networks are only interested in the bits that work for them unfortunately.

Still....I guess I can keep watching the video reviews over and over again

i am sure the price will go down a bit in the future! Maybe u should consider the Voda 500 tariff caost £35 a month and the phone would be free. I must admitted I really like this phone. It becomes my main phone now! |

@alex,
As you have had a N93 and MIB has commented on how fast it is, which considering he has moved from an N70 is not surprising as it is S60 3rd Edition is it as fast as the N93 or is it faster?
Everything else sounds really good, have you tried Fring on it yet for VOIP with Skype, Google and MSN voice and IM?
Also video playback is the TV out as good as the N93 with the 2.5mm lead as opposed to the Pop Port? lastly have you used the Media Server with UPnP yet?
If you are looking for a small bluetooth stereo headset check out the BH-500 thread here in accessories it's tiny sounds awesome with a set of Sony headphones and is not to expensive £58 delivered.
Lastly how are pictures and Video compared to the N93?
and sorry for so many questions but enquiring minds need to know.

I just got my WiFi working on my N95 now so I could use it to browse theinternet and downloading. Otherwise it will cost me a fortune to use o2 web service.
I haven't compare the pictures and Video with the N93 yet but the call quality is definitely better than my N93. My N93 is suffering from echoing when I use the handset itself, bt heeadset is fine though!

Hi alex,
OK no problem thanks for the quick response but you didn't comment on the speed difference if any.
Sounds like your N93 needs a trip to the Service Centre just as well you have the N95 now.

I am not too sure about the speed yet but N95 seems very fast to me. It only take about 2 seconds to open the GPS. Will do a test with the N93 tomorrow then!
By the way, I am going to bring the N93 for upgrade on Monday as I couldn't upgrade it myself with my PC! |

I see variously that 100-150 countries are available for the GPS but what I cannot find is whether Australia is one of those
can you confirm this (or not)?

Hi alex,
Well in that case you are going to get a big surprise when you get it back as the latest V20.58.0 makes a huge difference all apps start instantly as does changing the screen to laptop mode which now has an immediate refresh no delay. The front camera won't activate on coming out of photo or video mode and start up is reduced to 22 seconds from cold. Plus a few other things, If you want i can send you the Nokia search app the original one that just searches the phone and the Podcasting app that you can download a Podcast over your WiFi and a few other bit's and pieces if you want PM me an e-mail address.

@alexho. it does say "purchase" on that display so I'm assuming that Australia is not one of the 100-150 countries included?
or perhaps only few of the 100-150 countries included are in fact free? and the rest must be paid for?
The N95 site really doesn't seem to say much about this

yikes! its about the same to keep my Garmin GPS nuvi 670 up to date and *it* has alot more GPS features and a heap bigger screen that this has!
but I suppose that is only an applicable fact for those that don't already have GPS so its not too bad I guess

I guess that fits with the pricing of navteq data via Garmin for all Europe, or Australia etc @ US$75/yr
