Okay I've my N95 week ..... Here's my initial impression.
Maps is not very good at all, I paid 47 quid for the 3 years and already regretting it, the gps signal isn't that bad but for me the problem is the routing, it's shockingly bad. It tells me it is going to take me 2 hours 11 mins for a 1 hour journey (tom tom tells me it's an hour)
Another time i had to get to my girlfriends house and it told me it would take me 24 mins when it's a 15 min journey on top of that it took me a very very strange route that I wouldn't go normally but also one that tomtom didn't take. Very very disapointed with it, I do think it will come in handy for times when I'm on foot etc but as a car sat nav i think it's very poor, maybe a software fix will sort it out but at this precise moment in time I have scrapped it and re-installed tomtom 6 (which seems great at the moment, no probs at all with the install)
The second thing is that occasionally, when playing games the music player will not go onto the next song, a wee bit frustrating, again I should imagine a firmware upgrade will sort this out.
Finally, this is more of a question than problem.
When I am out driving and using either tomtom or maps and my phone rings I obviously have it in a cradle on the windscreen but I need to do one of the following.
Either answer it using loud speaker, or answer it and then press a button for loudspeaker
The problem i have at the moment is that if i am in tomtom and the phone goes i press green to answer and then it goes straight back into tomtom therefore not offering me the chance to choose loudspeaker. Is there any way of picking it straight up on loudspeaker, or a long press of a button to choose loudspeaker.
Yes the software Nokia have give is PANTS to say the least, your better off using an external bluetooth GPS if you have one for the time being and wait for TOMTOM to release a patch so the TOMTOM-N95 can use the internal GPS

on my n80 i tap the menu button twice (first tap goes to menu, second to standby screen) then i can press 'loudspeaker'
Hey thanks for that, i was wondering if there's an even easier way tho!!!
in the meantime thats great i shall rgive that a go 😊
yeah getting rid of mine and shopping for something else. n95 is alot of hype and no real substance.
eseries handsets seem better

Have you considered using a Bluetooth Headset, set to auto-answer?

If you already know the way to your girlfriends why do you need directions to get there ?
Do you have a very poor sense of direction :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
No the directions to my girlfriends was more of a test, it makes sense that way, I didn't know the way to the place i was going previously so the sat nav could've taken me in any direction. The best way to test is for it to take you a place and route you know, it didn't take me the right way.
As for a bluetooth headset, no i cant stand them 😞
