Me too - had mine for about 18 months.

Been out of contract now for a while, and there's nothing I can find that comes close to it. (including the Iphone)

Best phone I've ever had - and I'm a returner to Nokia after there sh1te products for the last 5-6 years.

Loads of cool apps and no issues. I have the 8gb one and to be honest the other one with a memory card is more useful !! The 8gb is a better phone.

I have had my n95 for over 12 months and it has never gone flat and I listen to music on the train for 2 hours a day. I have a charger on my desk and a charger on my bedside table, easy when you know how

Best phone I've ever owned too.

GPS-ing round Berlin was superb Camera and video ace, apps are cool - love it.

Battery life on mine is no worse than any other phone I've had in the last 5 years - if your N95 suffers get the latest firmware on it via Nokia Software Updater as there is a massive diff between old and new firmware.

Try using Windows Media Player. It automatically adds the track info and puts them in the right place automatically on the phone.

I did about 30 albums in no time at all at the weekend.

Yep... battery life was aided with a later firmware.

I have recently changed from my 1st Gen (with the latest firmware) one to a 8gb Black... the battery life has improved yet again.

Use the phones web facility and go to google where you can download the google maps application, once its up and running you can switch to Satellite view which is great!
