Positioning is a standard part of S60 3rd Edition FP1. It is a separate app to Maps.

I know this is troll bait, but never mind - good excuse to make some points. The N95 is actually lighter than some thing phones. Its really not very big as you can see from some of the comparisons photos. Its a brave call to say Nokia time is over and frankly I think you're completely wrong (you'd have to put an argument together across their entire range). Nokia do face increased competition from Sony Ericsson in the high end and Motorola in entry levels phone, but they're still in a uniquely powerful position in terms of economies of scales and production abilities. These phones aren't for everyone but a lot of the technology in here will become mainstream in 5 years time.

A lot of people miss the poitn about converged devices - yes they are most often not as good as the stand alone device - but for the majority of people they will be good enough, have the benefit of being a single devices and much less costly than buying all the device seperately.

Yes you do. It acts as the aerial.

Hi, Is there anybody who can confront color quality of N93 and N95? And what about their displays?

hi i was just wondering if the n95 is A2DP-compatible

Does anyone know if the max size of 2Gb the miniSD card is because of a o/s or filesystem limitation or just because 2Gb was the largest miniSD available when the info about N95 was released?

I just wanted to inquire is the auto focus function same as on SEk750i I mean does half pressed shuuter button activate auto fouus. Can u simply plz make a video of picture capture process on N95 by some other digi cam and upload on net

I sent Nokia a nice e-mail btw:

Since my mobile was stolen before Christmas, I've been meaning to sort out a new one.

Purely for the means of essential communication, and for photography. So I did some

research and decided to wait for the Nokia N95 to come out.

But Now I think waiting might just have been a complete dissapointment. I just hope that

"�550 (US$700)" is a joke, and not confirmed. If this is the case, I doubt my parents

will be buying it. Infact, when I come to get a job towards the end of this year, I

doubt I would buy it either.
Putting this into perspective. Nokia's phone prices have gone through the roof. Look at

the Sony K800i, which has similar features to the N73, yet, the nokia is �100 more.

Some basic economics, if your price drops, demand will rise. Hopefully Nokia will get

some sense knocked into them sooner, before they're left out in the cold. To put some

expression into this e-mail, I hope Nokia's sales cripple.

I know it's likely that you probably won't read this, and if you do, you probably won't

do anything about it, or even attempt to. But if you can be arsed, get off your office

chair, print this off, and locate it up your manager's or director's arsehole, along

with their summer pricing guide.

Thankyou for reading, and please send a complimentry N95 to the attached address for my

trouble.

Yours sincerely,

Ps. And you're missing "Windows Vista" from your OS dropdown, aswell as "virgin mobile"

from your operator dropdown.

what sort of battery does it take?

Does Nokia plan to issue firmware upgrades for the N95 so it can use the new 4GB micro SD cards?

Looks Like A Cool Piece Of Kit!!! However, Does Anyone Know If This Is A Touchscreen Phone Or Not? I've Got So Used To Handwriting Recognition I Can't Do Without A Stylus :-d

No tuch-screen on the N95.

is that other colour of this type?such as pink??because i saw an advertise that advertised this monile with pink color n that's hot is that true??.....and anyway how much this mobile cost???

who knows which countries does N95 includes in maps?

This question has already been asked!! I'm just asking again in the hope that the more people who ask the more likely an answer will be forthcoming!

Please tell us if you can use the inbuilt GPS with 3rd party navigation software, eg. TomTom. For me this would be the killer app. I find the idea of having to pay extra for turn by turn directions is like a slap in the face with a wet fish - no way!

Thanks for your excellent review. The N95 looks fantastic, being able to use the inbuilt GPS with TomTom would clinch the deal for me, if I can't I will be very dissapointed and might have to wait for the iPhone (and buy a seperate TomTom!)

Orson.

There is nothing in the N95 that prevents application developers from not using the built-in GPS, so all you need is to wait for developers of such apps like TomTom to update their apps to use the built-in GPS (instead of a separate Bluetooth GPS unit).

Nokia N95 have 3D sound?

NOKIA N95 HAVE 3D SOUND??PLZ REPLAY!!!!thanks

When Nokia N95 Have In Malaysia???

I wish that it is not buggy as much as i knew...
Hoping to have it soon... 😃

As with other users, I too want to know if the screen has an hard protective cover. I own a N73 and the screen cracked very easily whilst in my jacket pocket. I now treat it like a raw egg, unlike my K750i which has endured all sorts of drops and other accidents because it has a hard screen.

What's the email like on this? and does all the standard email work on this such as : AOL,Yahoo,Hotmail,Gmail etc ? and can you attach photos and video clips?

:icon13:

He's right. Thin is in.

Thin is in in the US where uninformed consumers are confused by flashing images of a slick marketing campaign. Thin is in because we're told the motorazr is the coolest thing ever by some dude drinking a light beer at the bar. Thin is in because we don't know any better. Thin is in because all we want a cellphone to do is make a phone call, play a couple of MP3s with poor quality and take images just barely passable for email and web purposes. Thin is in because that's all we think a cellphone can do.

Thin is in? Don't make me laugh.

The N95 isn't big nor bulky nor ugly. You can take your thin phone and shove it in your great pockets with your handycam, your PDA and your iPod.

"High noon". Priceless.

:top:

Thin is in...

MUCHI asked if the N95 has 3d sound. It has stereo sound... is that what you mean? Stereo speakers, stereo 3.5mm audio out and stereo A2DP

Someone else asked about the N95 on Verizon, very sorry- No.

whats bthe uk release date of the n95????? someone help

N95 look nice...But I was wonder if Data plan for the deaf people...build in Relay service, tty,shake alarm and etc? I could not afford that Sidekick (over $40 per monthly service....that was outrage...!)

Thank you.

The N95 seems very interesting to me especially the VOIP funtionality. You mentioned that it will automatically make a voip call when connected to a wlan but I was wondering how it works for receiving calls? (I'm new to this could you explain how it works) Also if I want to use skype with such a program as fring, do I need to reconnect everytime I connect to a Wlan or can I/need I always have the program running? And further would it work with skype in/out?

Thanks in advance for some answers =)

As somebody who owns an n80 and loves the feature set but hates the battery life and camera quality, I'm reluctant to get excited about an even more feature-packed phone that costs more than a cheap laptop. Convergence has a long way to go yet, people.

Hello , i was just wondering whether this phone would work on a CDMA network provider like Reliance ( india ) . i'm a little confused abt the WCDMA its capable of , is it different from CDMA ???

the picture quality is a real insult to the Zeiss name

Unregistered wrote:the picture quality is a real insult to the Zeiss name

I understand that. I knew one of Leica plants, so I assume that Carl Zeiss plants are more or less the same. Is high tech production, with White Rooms - clean, clean, to achieve high tech lens production.
After that, the final product - photo production - with the use of Zeiss brand is so... so....
I got your point!

Guys,

I just found the Nokia N95 available at PureMobile I asked them on livehelp and they said the phone was in stock as of today!
