Nokia N95 - YES OR NO

crabbman2004_2

Over the past weeks I have heard very different reviews regarding the N95. Some really good, some really bad.

Lets have your opinions. The Nokia N95 - Buy or Not buy?

Had the use of one for a week and although the idea behind it was good in reality I would give 2 stars out of 5. Constantly crashed, if you keep it in your pocket then it tends to slide open on its own, the camera quality is excellent but its a lot to pay for a decent camera pictutre,the sat nav took an eternity and some of the icons on the touch screen sometimes didnt work. (Maybe I'm being a bit kind with the 2 stars here !) Maybe a decent firmware would sort out some of the problems but until then I wouldnt get one.

I too am torn. But I think I'm going for the vario II

Two people in my office have one. The latest got his Thursday night and brought in the office on Friday. It was already running low on battery after being charged up overnight. While I like the overall idea of it, I don't want to be recharging the battery every day. All my Sonys seem to last forever, even when I take photos, listen to music or surf the web.

I've been looking at going to 3 when my tarrif ends and I asked about the N95 and why they didn't have it. The reply was they were waiting to see what bugs it had and have them ironed out before they take it on! Scare tactic or sale tactic?

i agree with you about SE batteries. i have a yr and a bit old k700i and its still going strong on the original battery.

early nseries units/firmware tend to have the most bugs. most of the time the bugs are sorted with firmware updates

as with most Nokia n-series phones, lots of problems mostly firmware related.

best of the bunch, n80.

I got one last week and I like it!
No real issues with the battery either, although I played it with it quite a lot...

I got one last week from o2, and I absolutely love it. Firmware related issues will be sorted out as the bugs are discovered and updates will be available, but its a sweet phone.

For those looking for a plain phone, nothing beats the Nokia 1100, battery lasts for over a week!

Been playing with the Nokia N95 all weekend, its been a while since I got anything crammed with so many features into my hand. Even checked out the VOIP using Truphone, its cool!

What touch screen?!
I have had mine for about a week and hated it when I first got it, it was slow to use and missing a load of features that Orange had taken off. I have since upgraded the firmware by changing the product code and now I can use it with skype and other VOIP services. Fantastic phone but if SE made a similar product I would have gone for that instead.

Great specs. Shame about the battery. Avoid.

By the way, will the N95 work with the three network. Don't have a 3 sim, otherwise would have tested it out?
