So I hear the Americans have a new N95 with an improved battery from the original?
My question is how much improved is this battery, can one buy it - and if so how much does it cost?
Additionally, I have heard about the N95 8GB. Does this mean that it comes with 8GB of storage internally - or can this flash module be bought seperately?
Thanks.
The BL-6F battery is larger than the BL-5F, so you can't put one in the original N95. Also you can't currently buy 8GB microSDHC cards, but you can get 6GB ones I believe, and 8GB ones will be coming out. I have a 4GB microSDHC card myself.
[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="4"]does anyone know if it would be possible to use the N95 8GB battery in the N95 classic? and another thing i'm wondering is in the N95 classic, will it always it capped at a maximum 2GB expansion memory?, a future firmware update couldn't unlock it to use larger memory cards, or is it a hardware problem?......[/SIZE][/FONT]
Thanks, Mithent for answering part of my question! how about the second part, about the maximum expansion memory for the N95 classic, 2GBs?
As stated below your post, you will not be able to use the newer battery from the 8gb n95 in the older n95.
Also, the 8gb is internal and will not have external memory card expansion.
There isn't a 2GB expansion limit on the classic N95; Nokia rated it as 'up to 2GB' because the highest capacity cards available to test were 2GB at the time. However, the N95 is fully compatible with microSDHC cards - as I said, I have a 4GB microSDHC card myself, and others have 6GB cards.
You can stick the BL-6F in the N95-1, but the battery lid will not fit.

1. No the N95-8Gb battery will not fit the N95-classic - the new battery is too large physically for the battery compartment on the N95 classic.
2. The 8Gb N95 does not have any memory card slot, the 8Gb supplied is fitted to the motherboard, and cannot be swapped or increased (once 16Gb+ SDHC cards come out).
3. The N95 Classic is therefore the better device.
However, I would recommend you to buy a spare N95 Classic battery and a desktop charger, and carry the spare with you if you cannot go 1 day on a charge with a single battery.
Only buy genuine Nokia replacement parts from a recognised mobile phone shop - do not buy cheap copies from eBay, Amazon or your local Sunday market.

so the electrical contacts match up, and the unit powers up, but you can't put the battery cover back on? is this correct? pics, or video would be appreciated
