Not sure what the N95 is like on these, but I got one on Saturday from T-Mobile and sent it back today.

It is too big and battery iwas poor. Battery was charged from 12 pm Saturday until 8.30 am ish on Sunday and was flat again by 7 pm Sunday night. Made and received no calls, used camera, messed around with audio player, and that was it.

It does look good though, is easy to use, and has lots of great feature, but I need a phone with a good stand by time for work, and that is why it has gone back.

God knows what I am going to get next, thinking of going retro and dusting off an old nokia, which was :-

1) Camera free
2) Not colour screen
3) No MSN/Sat Nav/etc

Charge lasted for at least four days with heavy phone usage, ie making and receiving calls!!

Robert - when my 6280 died (for no reason) I had to use my old 6130.
It was small, had a loooong battery life and was easy to actually make calls on.

Progress eh?!

As above, Monday 8th.

Will be upgrading on Monday


Been offered 1000 texts/400 minutes/unlimited downloads for £27.50 per month. Sounds good enough to me

Looks good just the sort of thing I need, I am not in to buying consumer type phones as they only last minutes in my clumsy hands. I am using an E61 at the moment and it hasn't missed a beat in 18 months even though its been dropped from great heights many many times!

went to the local O2 shop today to see what they had to say ref N95. The one on display felt like the slidey bit was about to fall apart ( something mentioned on some sites ) when I asked the guy if this was normal for an N95 he said " oh yes it's like your arm if it's too tight it won't work"
I then asked if they had many complaints about them and he shook his head so I asked what about battery life and it went immediately from head shake to nodding - quite funny actually. He then said it's no use me selling you a phone if I know it has problems

You needed to be there. I asked if Nokia have plans to change the battery and he said yes. Lets see hey

Not available just yet - should be coming in the next month or so. The other neat thing is that Nokia make a proper car cradle for it.

Quite basic but very good.
Robust, slim, works as a phone (shock!), easy to use and nice looking.
No 3G but the GPRS connection is decent enough.
Good camera too.

Nokias only decent phone at present.

After a bit of googling at lunch time, it looks like this may be the new phone then. Free handset with 500 mins and 500 texts on a 12 month contract with 12 months free line rental. Looks to me like they are paying me to have the phone.

I've got an N95 on Voda. now updated the firmware, and it's really good. V happy with it.

The downsides? The GPS is sh1te. Loads of software that you just don't need. Nokia LifeBlog?

Good phone tho.

Also look out for the SE K770i. Looking at this with Wifey, along with a Samsung G600.

Sadly, the G600 seems to be riddled with firmware issues.......
