Furthermore, the landscape is more large and more usable.
Anyway, is just to know what happen.Thanks
i don't think i know what you mean. when sliding up to enter text via the keyboard, the phone switches to portrait mode because you re holding the device vertically to type. the switching of display modes takes about 1 sec based on what i ve seen. after you finish entering text, just slide it back up and you re in landscape again, voila! while i agree that landscape will be favourable while browsing, when entering text i just dont see the problem with portrait when switching is almost instantly.
Answer to JezzzJ's earlier question: NOkia's product page says it is A-GPS. http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/N95
Now my question: Does it support AVRCP to complement the A2DP?
I live in america, and was, untill recently, planning to get the n73 and then buy the n95 whenever i could get to it, but with the information that its comming out relativly soon I wanted to know how long would you think it would take for me to be able to buy one in america?

Thanks. I suspected it would but I would rather someone who actually had the phone answered that question. 😊
According to the specs,the Nokia N95 has no optical zoom.What is optical zoom?? From my understanding without optical zoom , you are unable to zoom in on pictures after you have snapped them.Is this correct and true??
How is the sound quality of this phone and may I have a picture comparison of the N95 with a Nokia 6680?

Optical zoom does exactly what it says on the tin; zooms in using optical methods. That is to say, by moving lenses to change the way light reaches the photographic recording surface (film or, in the case of digital cameras, CCD) it makes a small area of the subject fill the entire area of the picture. Digital zoom, by contrast, makes the picture seem bigger by interpolating between the CCD's cells, making, in effect, a best guess. Hence optical zoom is much better at preserving clarit and detail.

No; optical zoom happens before the picure is captures. Once it is saved you can play with it as you will with software, and I assume the N95 will allow you to change the displayed size of captured images; if it doesn't, and I can't imagine why it wouldn't, it's a software limitation and nothing to do with optical zoom.
1 - Does the N95 display email messages on the Active Display Screen(like the E Series)?
2 - Does the N95 have the WLAN Scanning on Active Display Screen(like the N80IE)?
3 - When you are you WLAN does it repeatedly ask you to connect when using different apps, for example, you are browsing on the web, you switch to the email app to check your emails, does it just check the emails or does it (like the N80) fail to realise you are already connected and ask you to connect again? (also does this when using web feeds on the N80), not a huge problem but still annoying.
4 - In your opinion how does the screen look when compared to the the 352 x 416 of the N80, E70 etc
I have an N73 and often when I try to zoom on an image in the Image browser it comes up with a message stating that memory is full and I have to close an application...of course there are none open other than image browser...does this happen on the N95?
Yeah.... great manual (6680) and CD (N70). Nothing to say about the comments of the guy who was talking, it looked like it was his first Symbian... I mean how stupid you can be to have a N93 and not to manage another Symbian without user manual? Damn it, even my N70 has inbuilt help 😎
I never read any manual of the phones or pda's I got, I just play with it and lurn it that way.
You don't read a manual before using windows though so why here with symbian...
And now regarding the topic:
Browser
I was wondering about the browser, I read that the servicebrowser and webbrowser is now 2in1 so I was wondering if you can finally save pictures etc. Because that was only possible in the servicebrowser.
I also like to know if they got a better find function. Like CTRL+F in Internet Explorer where you just type something and it searches the page.
And what about browsing, is it possible to open more windows? at the same time? Because now it doesn't to that unless you press a link on the site that is scripted with "target=_blank"
USB related
I read you cannot charge the phone via usb, do you think that will be possible with a firmware upgrade, a BlackBerry, PDA, MP3-players and other devices can be charged using usb though.
Can you use the mini USB port also for other applications or tools?
Please can you get a comparasion shot comparing with N73
Much appreciated
I wonder if it supports FAT32 (so we know if we can use them 4GB cards)
Could you format your memorycard to FAT32 and try if it works?
Look the manual when he open the box is of 6680 Italian MANUAL !!!! incredible nowone see this ????
I think everybody exept the guy in the video saw that.. I'ts been discussed at many forums..
What is the phone like overall surfing the internet? Are their any problems displaying pages, any sudden crashes etc?
When I played with a prototype Nokia N95 at the Nokia Store NY, I noticed that when taking pictures and video in horizontal mode and then switch to vertical, the sensor automatically switched. Rafe: Is that the case with the N95 you received?
A quick question about the GPS maps; is it possible to add or download custom Points of Interest; one which springs immediately to mind is speed camera locations...
I have learn much from this thread. I have been using PDA all this while . My question is how is it compare to using Office application with window mobile. Editing words or excel is very easy with the stylus. Does N95 allow using stylus for editing or juz by using keypad.
N95 does not have a touchscreen, so no stylus...
so this mean it's tough doing editing for excel or words.:con?
Not exactly. A notebook is not also touch screen, and is easy work well with Excel or Word. Because they have a mouse, like N95, also have a mouse - joystick.
maybe need sometime to get use to it. Been using PDA for sometime , using spreadsheet is a breeze. Probably i will take a look at the phone and play around the features first.
Does the N95 have continuous AF on shooting videos like the production models of the N93i have? Or is this something we will have to wait for the production versions of the N95 to see if it has this feature.
Can you put the mp3-files anywhere on the phone,
or does it have to be a specific folder?
Does the mp3 playback use a lot of batterypower,
can you do a test with continious mp3 playback?
Can I install the map of Germany on the memory card from the CD or download them from the internet and keep them on my memory card? I ask because data rates are much cheaper in the home network than when roaming, if I plan a trip to Germany, I want to install the maps before I go there..
You can download the maps from www.smart2go.com for free, using Nokia's map dowloader from the site. I'm sorry there's no version for S60 2nd edition, I would've used the maps in offline mode.
Are there any TTS apps that can be installed to use it with the N95 gps to give text to speech capabilities for saying street names?
Also I think they should give voice instructions for free, because if you pay for service, it makes more sense to buy a gps device that cost 200 dollars for life.
and how about the new themes? i love the theme of the review, its fantastic!! Could you extract it and share with us? Thanks😉 :icon14:
