Well guys, thanks for all your answers to my questions. I had a good run with SE ever since K700i until W850i.
Just got myself an N95 8GB. Does just about all I need. Plus ever since W850i I've liked sliders.
So maybe next year when SE comes out with something good, I'll return. As for now next week I will sport my N95. I'll still post here and there, so if you'd like me to answer any N95 questions I'll be more than happy. |

I notice you have got yourself a N95-8. Welcome to the N95-8 and ex SE supporter family 
Now, what may be useful is to list out what you like and what you dont from using it. I have mine for about 1 month now. I find out that no matter how good N95-8 be it the screen, look or the smart UI, there's always a soft spot for SE Surprisingly there are some features I find easier to do in my other non smart phone devices
Anyway congrats and enjoy your fine gadget

congrats on your new purchase. My last SE device was w900i. I left se just because of their fastport connector design. It has failed me in all my se phones from k700, p910, k750, w800 and w900. Since then i vowed not to buy se till it changes its connectivity method to mini usb or something more reliable. But still i am here at esato for more infos and news about se. I dont even care about other companies not even nokia that there is something about se that keeps me interested. |

Long live Nokia. Whenever i buy a Nokia the early firmware only has one or two glitches but SonyEricsson i have had endless trouble with their phones altogether i have returned over 10 models and all of them had problems so bad they became unusable.

Heh thanks, you guys are too much!
Yes there will always be a soft spot for SE in my *heart* heh. But seriously, just leaving SE for now. I'll probably come back, there is definitely something about the phones. Probably all that familiarity that stems from the same designs over and over. Just feels safe, just feels at home (too dramatic there).
Right away I can tell you what I'm not going to like, the buldge and weight. Also lack of flashlight application. Other than that, seems the postiives outweight the negatives.
I looked at it this way. I need a phone that I can use with AT&T (USA) bands and 3G, I need to upgrade from W850i, better screen, OS, etc. The N95 filled all these requirements. Even as a fanboy, SE just couldn't deliver what I needed.
But I probably will return down the line. For now its N95. |

I think I feel likewise. There is this niftyness of SE that me hoping that one day they produce something good enough for me to go back to the homey feeling
I also like the torchlight therefore I keep my k750. I also realized no smilies for texting on N95 
I am still learning to like my N95. Maybe it may wins me over or maybe not. I will keep an open mind |

Hi all
Could some one please explain to my why you need a torch from a phone? I'm not playing dumb here but i see it constantly mentioned and i just don't get it.
If i want a torch i have a Surefire P9 with a 220 lumen's bulb Now that's a freaking torch!!

i think the reason is the same as 'why should we have music players on phones', 'why should we have 5mp cameras', 'why should we have mobile internet' etc... afterall it is a phone!
Basically the logical reasoning is simply because the technology is there for it and so why not?
Additionally if you consider we are all going for this holy grail of a single device to be essentially the only thing we need when we leave the house then why not have a light feature, i remember when colour screens were new to the market many people were using the common white background of the text message as a light in certain situations.
Now with led lights they are using them as the torch. Again i think it comes down to the fact if you can have it and if you have had it why not continue to have it.
And in all fairness i can think of many times when the torch has come in handy, and while a stand alone torch may have been a better tool for the job it also meant i had to have the torch on me in anticipation of teh problem.
Also consider if the phone comes with flash, why cant you use that independant of the camera? if the feature is on board why not allow access to it and allow you to use it?
Like one of the BMW's i saw reviewed it had 500 odd BHP if i am not mistaken, but that was only accessed when the user told the on board computer i want 500BHP that makes no sense. If i buy a car because of the speed and its BHP i want access to it without the need to tell the car give me more power.
For the phone, it has a light for the camera, i want the light to search my bag when it is dark, or i want the light to light up a staircase. |

Sorry the things you mention belong on a device as in some cases they are Multimedia smart phones and as such they cover Multimedia features the same goes for phones as they are communication and entertainment devices other wise all you could do is talk and listen on. Sorry but a torch just doesn't fit into a logical extension of the devices purpose and is just what users have used it for.
As for the BMW you are talking of i think you wil find it's the BMW M5 and the whole purpose is for when you go to a track or Motorway as opposed to driveing round town where you neither need all the extra power or a harder supension that also changes. Seeing as all this done from the drivers seat it neither takes long or is difficult. I mean it's not like you have to get out a set of tools and manually set it up.

Well as it happens yes i do also carry my Torch either in a Jacket Pocket or in the car and at night it is on a Lanyard around my neck.
It is a Surefire Torch and as such is made from lightweight Aircraft Grade Aluminium and is just 6.5" long and can be found here.

Mine is a tricked out Version and has a strobe switch and 220 Lumen's bulb which can be found here.

Now that's what i call a torch not a LED light from a phone.
