nah, i think there's still a good year of life for N95 if you
want to get one now. sure, the N96/N78 etc are newer and shinier,
but the N95 still has one of the better cameras out there, and with
the back porting of demand paging etc features, it's not going to
be obsolete anytime soon. i kinda like the look of the one with a
deep red cover that i keep seeing in Helsinki airport
recently...
@WaveyDavey001 - If
you don't want another N95, then take a look at the
N82.
The N96 isn't as wonderful as I first thought. The screen's
cool, but the buttons aren't as great as I thought they'd be and
also - and this will no doubt change as firmware updates -
it's soooooo sloooooow.
@adonisdemon - Do I
look like the N96 Product Manager?!
;)
No idea - but that's what it had in it when I got my hands on it
- switched in my N95 8GB's battery... .SORRY...
What I meant was I switched in my N95i's battery
as soon as I could.
hmnn well I like to have a phone that can do wifi, email, surf
etc and a decent camera, good to talk, and nice keypads or yeah no
joystick, navigate nice for me that's all :)
@plasticsnow, ahhh I
should check my local store. I can ditch my SE phone and get myself
a nice phone next month. Can't wait for that and at least I won't
accidentally mark someone jaiku friend as spammer :p

Was playing with an N96 for most of the weekend - not impressed at all.

@whatleydude Why not? My N95 is sure to conk out soon due to use and abuse and I'll need something to replace it. Samsung G810? N96? another N95?
Hopefully my N95 will last another couple of months yet though

Well the O2 shop I walked past yesterday is advertising the N95i 8GB..... hmm......
The picture looked suspiciously the same as the normal 8gigger....

Didn't like the N96 from the start, it's fugly, big and basically a backwards step IMO.

"N95i 8GB"
@SteveRowlands - Dude, seriously, first: Get me a picture! I need to see this.
Next - Go in and ask them what the difference is between an N95 8GB and an N95i 8GB (I'm dying to know).

i is for the idiot behind the o2 PR.
3 months, 3 weeks ago by adonisdemon.
HAHAHA - nodding in agreement
runs away to the o2 website for evidence
3 months, 3 weeks ago by whatleydude.
@whatleydude it was a big (massive) advertisement in the O2 shop window in the BullRing yesterday, so I assume other O2 shops will have it.
I didnt get photo evidence, or go in and ask, as we were in a rush.
I'm off into town in a bit, so will see if my local O2 shop has the same ad in the window.
3 months, 3 weeks ago by SteveRowlands.
Nothing there. @SteveRowlands, was it an official poster or was it a dodgy hand-written one?
Also - o2 have stopped stocking the N82 too apparently!
Maybe it's prep for the influx of the N95aaai
3 months, 3 weeks ago by whatleydude.
Proper official poster. Like 6ft tall, proper.
3 months, 3 weeks ago by SteveRowlands.
Brilliant.
...pillocks.

Seeing as O2 are doing the iPhone, I guess everything's got to have an i in it!!
3 months, 3 weeks ago by adonisdemon.
Oh yeah - I get it - N95iPhone - makes perfect sense...
DOH!
I just want to see if they've actually replaced the 'N96 8GB' label on the top left of the handset with their STUPID 'N95i'
3 months, 3 weeks ago by whatleydude.
If no one gets to an O2 store today then give me a shout & I'll take a look tomorrow when I'm in town
3 months, 3 weeks ago by plasticsnow.
I'm asking my O2-Ireland channel supplier about getting me the new Nokia N95i phone too. In red or pink, please.

Hehe -
Back to topic(ish), I'm getting to thinking that my next personal device won't be an Nseries y'know?
Thinking the E71 is ver' nice, innit.
3 months, 3 weeks ago by whatleydude.
@chelx - where did you hear this 'obsolete' story?
3 months, 3 weeks ago by whatleydude.
@whatleydude: Indeed, E71 looks the shits!! Although iPhone 3G is enticing me.
3 months, 3 weeks ago by adonisdemon.
@adonisdemon iPhone 3G? Meh. Big meh.
3 months, 3 weeks ago by whatleydude.
I must say, the E71 is going to be VERY hard to resist......
3 months, 3 weeks ago by SteveRowlands.
Oh... and for the record? The BL-6F fits quite snugly into the N96.. (which comes with a BL-5F)
3 months, 3 weeks ago by whatleydude.
@whatleydude: why does it come with a bl-5f?

3 months, 3 weeks ago by whatleydude.
But yeah - If you're upgrading from N95 8GB to the N96. Save the battery!

Good call.

N95i at O2 store, central London. http://www.flickr.com/photos/edent/25839... <-Taken on an N95 8GB :-)
All branding in store and in brochures is "N95 8GB". But there are odd references to N95 as seen at the bottom of the photo.

Cheers @vodaclone - nice of o2 to really help consumer education there by adding in the nonsensical 'i'.
3 months, 3 weeks ago by whatleydude.
are the people at o2 that thick?
3 months, 3 weeks ago by rickyc.

3 months, 3 weeks ago by chelx.
@chelx I would recommend the N82.... although it all depends on your needs really...
3 months, 3 weeks ago by SteveRowlands.
@chelx I've had an N82 for about a month now and I love it :o)

3 months, 3 weeks ago by chelx.
personally i prefer the N95, but the N82 is a slight "upgrade". the xenon flash is great (not on the N95)
