Hi,

I was comparing N95 with O2 Orbit on the GPS feature and would like to know something about N95.

1 - In o2 Orbit, i can install any custom Mapping application softwate e.g. Tom TOM 6 which will use in built GPS for navigation. Can I install same software on N95? Is it compatible? If not, pls let me know which software I can use.

2 - The o2 orbit phone downloaded the current position via internet (GPRS) when ever the data expires. Bu this phone also have feature to download the position information via PC's internet when connected to PC. Does N95 has same feature using which I can tuen off automatic download of current position using GPRS on the phone and can use the PC's internet? If not then this is the buiggest drawback of this phone as getting data using GPRS is really expensive.

3 - Can I call N95 as a PDA phone?

4 - Can it read .doc and .xls files?

Any suggestion is well come.

1) You can install TomTom, etc., and they can use the internal GPS, but you need to wait for versions that know how.

2) You can use WLAN/Wi-Fi, or you can use the Windows based Map Loader app.

3) You can.

4) Yes, through the built-in Quickoffice app. It also has an Adobe PDF reader.
