I think &#163;230 is a fair price, particularly as your brother will be able to have it repaired under warranty if anything goes wrong with it later. If it's locked to one network, pay him &#163;20 extra and get the handset unlocked before you buy.

99&#37; of N73 apps should work fine on the N95.

The inbuilt GPS receiver is cool, but the free Nokia MAPS app is crap. There is a version of Route66 which supports the internal GPS receiver, and also WayFinder supports it. However TomTom (the best GPS app in my view) currently does not support the internal GPS receiver.

The &#163;37.99 4Gb card is not a bad price but ask what read/write speed it supports. Some of the cheaper 4Gb cards only support 2mb/sec transfers, which is very slow and could affect 3D map drawing performance with GPS apps.

Hope this info helps?
