8gb N95 goes live today http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/15/n...an-3-surprise/

Can't really see much reason to change. Sure the black looks nicer but the new version doesn't have a card slot so you're stuck with 8gb like it or not.

HHHmmm - I'm in the market for a new symbian phone.

But I must admit I'd be a lot happier if it had a memory card slot.

Yeah.

I'd rather have the card slot, than be stuck with only 8GB.

6GB microSDHC cards are already out, 8GB later this year, & even bigger next year.

The bigger battery would be good, but I don't really have a problem with the battery life on my normal N95.

More RAM... again, always good. But, I don't really have a problem with that either. Just need to make sure things are really closed.

Well, the normal N95 has a card slot

Hopefully, I'll be upgrading soon.. Had too many problems with my current vario II.

I know of someone selling an almost-brand new N95

Previously using the Vario II's predecessor put me off ever using WM again.

Same here, i'm on my 4th Vario II since I signed up to t-mobile over a year ago, and this new one crashes every day! Think i'll be switching to the n95 8gb, I have 2gb micro with the vario II but only use about a gig of that, so 8gb will be more than enough for now. Can't wait for my contract to end.

Well, I have to admit, I am thoroughly confused. IIRC, I got my current phone around sept last year. I wasn't clear on whether it was a twelve or 18 month contract, so I looked up my contract details. The site said contract expired, so I tried to upgrade. Got told to come back in the final month of my contract.

So, I phoned the automated line, and got told I could upgrade from 5th December, with isn't 11, 12, 17 or 18 months from last september.

Oh poo!

Upgraded the firmware of my router (Linksys WRT54GS v5.1) to the latest firmware version v1.50.9

Now for some reason, my N95 will no longer connect to the internet through it. It connects to the network no problems, but whenever I access Web it returns a error saying no web gateway.

Any ideas?

Fixed.

Spoke to a very helpful woman on the Linksys Technical Support line which was free. An Indian call centre, but you would never have noticed.

Directed me to the USA site where the was more up to date firmware. That fettled the problem straight away!

Possibly the coolest application for the N95 EVER!

very recently on t-mobile i thought it had to do with the new legislation a few weeks ago that they have to record all calls made but could be wrong

**Russ B** · 10-11-2007, 19:36

Eh??

**Russ B** · 01-12-2007, 22:52

Nokia have just released v20 firmware - sadly it's not available on TMobile yet so I don't know how good it is but more can be found at http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/..._v20_firmw.php

Anyone have any good (or better still, bad) comments about N95 - I'm looking to get one (not the 8GB) after xmas.

**Russ B** · 02-12-2007, 00:02

Good points:

Awesome camera, video recording is almost dvd-like in quality, audio quality is really good, in fact as good as anything SE have produced, loads and loads of applications available for it, nice big clear screen, GPS locks on in seconds with latest firmware

Bad points:

Can feel a little plasticy, OS can slow if too many programmes are open, satnav isn't as good as a TomTom etc (but still pretty handy), slight delay of about 5 seconds between taking pictures (this can be eliminated by deselecting the option to view a pic after it's been taken, in very latest firmware it's completely reduced), OS can be a little daunting if you've never used Symbian before.

Overall, the best phone I've ever had and it'll take something pretty special to get me to change from it.
