Been to lowyat a few hours ago. Didnt see a single N95 on display except the dummy models being sold in OS shop. I guess its not out in KL yet.

yah cant find n95 at shops :S

Stated will release on Q1 of 2007. so means between january until april 2007. people.. please be patient ..

Q1 of 2007 should be between January to March...it is March now...April is already Q2 of 2007 la

oh yeah.. sorry yar wrong calculation
yes, we should wait until the end of march. if still got no news from nokia shop, we tear off their "nokia" sign ...

ahha..purposely go kl n check?ahha..m only a student dude..i m sure the mall dun have..

it will be official released in europe in this month but i say this phone arrive to malaysia in april for Rm 3500 and above

All are hoaxes and rumours around. Not a single one of them is genuine.

erksss...tear their "Nokia" sign?


wah!...not hoping the price to be more than rm3k...
best to be lesser...

yups...still haven't a sign or officially from Nokia about the release of the phone in market...

That is what you think only.
Maybe we will get the phone also same release date with europe and price will be less than RM3.5k

Anywhere that is what i think also.

yeah!...hoped the same as what you think...
wonder anyone did send/forward anything/ideas to Nokia asking about the availability of n95 in Malaysia?

I'm concerned about the lack of RAM as mentioned in the review posted two pages back: "22 MB free RAM is certainly too little for such a powerful device".

I certainly will hold back for a while, while waiting for more reviews to surface.

hmm i dunno about you, but for me I will try to use memory card instead of phone's built in memory(if possible)... heck my w900i's built in 470mb is still untouched after using it for more than 1 year as I store everything in memory card

Is everyone completely enamored by the phone's supposedly godlike capabilities that they forget what the phone was marketed with one strong feature:- GPS.

This one comes with GPS built-in, and reports are stating that the chipset built-in is NOT SirfStar III. This will make its usage in navigating around cities cumbersome since the sensitivity of the GPS chipset means that it will take time to get a lockon and will be losing GPS signals while navigating around high-rise buildings.

Sure, it has 5 MPx camera, but that's nothing new. HSDPA? Very limited both in content and coverage. Music Player dedicated buttons? Okay, if you're excited about those sorts of things. But GPS is the touted feature here, and it is disappointing that it does not come with the best GPS chipset in the market. Hell, any phone capable of loading Nokia Maps with Bluetooth paired with a good SirfStar III BT GPS beats N95's GPS!

This assumption is made from the report i have read that N95 does not incorporate the SirfStar III GPS. Playing music, watching videos and taking pictures are common nowadays, but GPS is a something excitingly new. And Nokia is fcuking it up with putting in inferior GPS receiver in its N95!

So, the problem of not having enough RAM is miniscule if it couldnt even get satisfactory GPS signal from its inferior GPS receiver. All i see here is that people are interested on getting it because of its form factor, a.k.a the design conscious folks.

I as well have read that N95's GPS chipset is not SirfStar III. Not as the same class as Dopod or Asus implementation, so i guess the GPS function is not very usefull. I will stick to my Garmin set which is still going great for 3years now.
The only saving glance for N95 is the 5MP camera, but that as well is very questionable as the photo released from the forum and preview is not very encouragable. Plus the long eternal like waiting .....hum.

In the end, people are getting it just because....it's new? Or because they like how it looked? That's a very encouraging sub-RM3000 reasoning!

I don't know about you, but I don't like pairing an external GPS device (which is already expensive) to my phone as it eats up battery like mad. Which is precisely why I'd like to get this phone - once it has been officially released with reviews, of course.

That- versus turning on the built-in GPS and trying to get a signal in for so long and eating up battery power as well? Good luck!

I can have crappy built-in GPS, but if it doesnt do what it is SUPPOSED to do, what is the point including it in the package? BT GPS , if you have used it in real life, does not gobble up battery power like mad, it only detect satellite ephemeris every 30 second or so to update your relative position. I have tried it , and the effect , also exists, is negligible. Having it built-in does not mean it's power-saving, ESPECIALLY on chipsets that are less sensitive and requires longer periods of time to obtain satellite fix.

Of course, you need a good BT GPS to make use of power-saving features it has. My Garmin Mobile 10X BT GPS is clever enough to know when it is not getting ANY satellite fix and turns itself off, effective saving power to the BT pairing.

So, which do you prefer:-

A - An external BT GPS devices paired to your phone, that is super-sensitive and obtain satellite lock in less than a minute, and as quoted by you, "eats battery power"

OR

B - A built-in GPS chipset that is less sensitive, requires turning it on longer to get satellite position lock, and still eats battery power

Solutions like Holux GPSlim units and Garmin Mobile 10X even allows you to pair it with other devices like PDAs and mobile laptops , not just phones. My Garmin even comes with a clip-on that i can clip on my shirt, and still look unobtrusive.

Just went to Seremban Terminal one Nokia's shop. They said N95 is not available yet. Even it's available, they will not dare to buy the phone from the factory because it's could be very expensive and no one will buy for it. .. sad news for me then ...

I bet u there will be tons of other shops which are dare enough to sell the N95
