Question
Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying this new phone, it looks great and can do so many things(even GPS!!)! Anyone bought one yet? If so what do you think??
Thanks
Krystal
Answer
Yep, Love it. Got mine a week and a half ago.
I dont use the GPS though and wont because I have a GPS system with a bigger screen and its free. With the N95 I believe it makes a connection to get your location which charges you through your provider. It also doesnt have voice guidance which my GPS does you have to pay for that separately.
Battery life was a big issue brought up by people but with regular use my phone lasts 2-3 days before being on the last bar. GPS would be a big drainer but thats easily solved with a car charger. Camera is the best on a mobile phone Ive ever used, but its still not the quality of a 5mp stand alone camera.
Best phone Ive owned though, just sold my N80 to pay my cc back for this
Comes with a leather case, screen protector and 1gb memory card - so the accessories are pretty good too.
Answer
Very appealing phone.
What's the slide like? I get worried with slide phones that it will become really loose over time like my boy's 6280.. (he hates the phone so much!!)
Answer
Its good, it has the spring action, the N80 didnt have that. Still found that slide good but it didnt like "help" at all if you get me had to be pushed all the way in. But it doesnt lock in so to speak and because it goes both ways it can slide out if its not in a secure place. The case it comes with is good though, cant slide in that.
Answer
Thinking about getting this also as im sick of my motorola V3, im over flip phones and the software of the motorola is not as good as the nokia !
Whats the screen quality like on the N95 ?? I do like having the bigger screen, and even though I hardly ever use my camera in my V3, it would be handy to have a good resolution camera I guess....
Answer
Its the best screen Ive ever seen. The N90 and N80 had a really good, clear screen. This one has a really good, clear *and* large screen. Its not like most where you can see the small pixels that make it up. I have taken some really good pics with the camera, my wallpaper is a pic I took and its really clear.
Answer
sounds great, i want to buy one tomorrow !!
What is the mp3 player like? Would it drain the batterey heaps??
Oooh and the calender etc, is that good, because i use my phone to put reminders in about everything.
Answer
Mp3 player is good, it comes with earphones and a remote. It would drain the battery faster than it being in standby. I have an iPod so I havent needed to put the MP3 player to the test.
The calender is good, most features are similar to all other Nokia models, the N95 just has more features.
Answer
When you buy a new phone do you pay full price for it? Or can you get it as part of a plan? I'd like to get rid of my 3 phone - a Motorola V3i but don't know if I can get a new one if I can't get rid of the old one.
Answer
I got it on a plan, with vodafone its $629 on the $49 cap (which is what Im on), $600 on the $79 cap, $720 on the hot 30 plan and $1200 outright. You can pay the $629 outright or over 24 months. I paid half so my monthly repayments are $15 + $49 cap.
