Can anyone tell me as im unsure. Does the N95 8 gig and N81 8 gig have solid state memory inside or is it from a hard drive. Reason i ask is obviously solid state memory is more reliable and wont jump like a hard drive with music when knocked about. |

i use n95-2 and the hd is very stable, never had any problem with it. also n91 hd was very good, when i used that. the great thing is, that i install most apps on the hd, so at a fw upgrade i just have to store all settings, datas back and thats a big bonus

This phone is quite amazing, for me the only possible drawbacks are of course daily charging and lack of a memory slot.
Other than this, currently I am currently listening to music, using it as a usb modem for internet and charging while text messaging. No crashes, no fuss no muss. Oh yeah I'm using the N95-4, have a -2 for sale if you want it cheap hee hee.

The great thing about N81, N81-8GB and N82 is that they have User Data Preservation (or something like that), so when you do a FW Update your Data is not affected,you can update without Backing Up your data.

@ sighup. In the settings for Wi-fi somewhere, you have to really search for it but you can change the amount of power consumption the phone uses for wi-fi. Default is 100hz, but it can be changed to 10hz. IMO there is no difference when actually using wi-fi. I now charge my phone every 2 days.

That's true, but this thread is about the N95 8Gb

You say hard disk but i thought it was solid state memory. Surely hard disk uses more battery power. |

no one stated it was hard disk.
the opening post asks if it is hard disk or solid state and the 1st reply confirms its solid state

oh yeah
strange that someone would pick up on a 2 letter abbreviation in the middle of a long sentence and ignore the long written answer to the original question
perhaps we both need to go to specsavers!
still, its clear now

Does the N95-8GB have the memory as one big storage space or is it like the N95-1 with 160MB and then the extra as second drive. |

as I understand it there is 100mb internal dynamic memory on the N95-8gb, down from 160mb that was on the original N95, then there is the 8gb drive separate from that.

Thats what I thought they might do. Instead of having the memory card slot they basically hardwired in a 8GB memory card. So my normal N95 with 8GB memory card actually has more memory.

its the same solution the w950 used as the 8gb was also separate from the internal memory and access like a data card
