Good points Sapporobaby. I was amazed to discover the W52s has a rated 110hrs music playback, but at the same time that isn't a small phone.
It looks like Nokia, in its quest to keep the N95 a decent size, might have compromised the N95 on the battery front.

@sapporo
i just sold my n95  i MIGHT get another one, asi get them fairly cheap. And hope that it has a better slider and battery. the slider is wonky on the right side, i can push it in easily. quite annoying. for an expensive phone. the s500 was like this, but cost MUCH less.
its either p1 now or maybe give n95 another try. If the next n95 is not better in build, i wil sell, as i can make profit on it, and defo get p1,
also, do you use desktop charger? whats your method of charging 2 batteries? if i was to charge 2 batteries, id do one for a couple hrs before i sleep, then the other when iactually go to sleep. And put the other one i charged for 2 hrs in the phone in the morn.

@>500,
I just run one flat, charge it, then charge the other one.
I was talking to a friend at Nokia. He said there will be a new slider mechanism coming out soon. The cool thing is that all phones are under warrantee so it should be free to fix.
Can we all cross our fingers together?

Seems I've upset you two. I'm sure some pointed out that their phone battery went flat with very little use - I just tried to look at it from that point and debate that issue. For the record I don't have an N95 and commented on how I would feel if any phone suffered poor battery life with normal usage. Go back read my comments. It was never my intention upset those who make bold one sided statements and are then sensitive when someone disagrees.
It is frustrating that people try to depict some unnatural battery life (i.e. battery went flat in few hours with little use) as a NORMAL N95 batttery performance. N95 battery life is mediocre but it is no way near that bad. It is not about being sensitive. You would feel the the same if someone implied that K800 is crap because battery life is only enough to make 30mins of calls and have less than 1 day standby.

Well if my K800 had a short a battery life I wouldn't have bought it. If battery life become an issue after I bought it I would be making a lot of noise about it. And, I wouldn't really care what anyone said as everyone will have different opinions and experiences. This isn't an SE V Nokia argument. I could have compared a samsung phone, an LG phone or another Nokia. My whole point is that there is a fair expectation as to how long any Mobile Phone can last on a battery. For the record, I do not consider my K800 to be a great phone and am not trying to preach about the phone - I actually rather regret getting it as the Camera is overated (as are all Phone Cameras), the sound output is bad and the lens cover opens too easy. So feel free to say whatever you like about it - I'll probably agree with you. |

What is fair expectation? If you are expecting smartphone battery to last as long as a non-smart, then your expectation is obviously unrealistic. Put the N95 next to other similar smartphones (like WM or even iphone) doing the same kind of tasks then the N95 battery performance is quite up to par.

I use nowadays a very cheap pda phone Song A168=CECT P900. It works fine with 2 batteries. N95 is missing an important thing: the alarm and calender should work also when the battery is needing recharge. It is very annoing if you sleep too long because the alarm didnnot wake you. My K800 is only my navigater and Song is my "iPhone". I think Nokia should seriously think to do N95 a 2 battery system as in Sirocco 8800 model. At least N95 should work alarming after the battery is under the minimum level. The alarm must work always as in the Song A168 . Now you can never trust that N95 will wake you morning.

@sapporo: what are the odds that slider will be fixed under warranty in your opinion? I think the chances are small. Although i agree, it would`ve been very nice gesture from nokia. I was thinking of doing a slider fix myself... What do you guys think about doing that?
Back on-topic: battery issue on n95 is a non-issue. If you have a friend with n95 maybe try to compare battery life doing the same things. If you find it impossible that it only lasts "that long" maybe go to service center. |

@intelegent115,
I think if you go in with a wobbly one and simply say nothing and tell them that it is under warantee.

Actually some Nokia centeres will not give you a problem as they know the phone is less than a year old. I can not say for sure.

it would be one of the Nokia Care service centres. I know they have a bunch of computers there so you can walk in and update your phones software your self etc. But imho i dont think they would do anything free without a receipt

@>500,
Looks sad, and be your humble self.
When all else fails be very persistent.
