Added on April 11, 2007, 10:38 pmIts not the factorys fault then who is the one to blame?

its either manufacturing error.. OR its meant to be like that..

like i said..i ask them to check my 6288.. they told me ITS LIKE THAT

Why dont NOKIA use the 5300 slider mechanism in all the slider phone..
imo,thats the most well built, tough, stable slider from nokia..with a lil spring somemore..

The slider mechanism is very solid and there is a nice clunk as you slide it up or down. The keypad and slider runners are metallic, with the keys themselves made from hard plastic. They keys are a good size, although look a little cramped.

All that is left to need is the numberpad and when you slide the phone upwards, the spring loaded mechanism delivering a solid feel and satisfying click,

半自動滑蓋，前天買，到目前為止使用滿意，組裝扎實遠勝過Nokia之前出過的所有滑蓋機。芬蘭廠做的果然比MIC來得好上許多！

QUOTE

完全同意!!明顯比之前出過的Nokia滑蓋機好太多..

滑蓋跟組裝也都很結實

诺基亚的滑盖技术在6111,6270,6280等早期滑盖机上是个探索的过程,.如今金属质感的E65滑盖技术非常成熟,手感非常棒

1. semi auto slider mechanism, satisfied with it. The slider mechanism is lot more sturdy than the previous models. Made in Finland really is better than those Made in China

2. Totally agree..obviously its better than the previous slider models

3. Slider and the build quality is good.

4. Nokia slider mechanism is at a "beginners" stage for 6111,6280,6270. You can see the improvement in the E65s metal slider mechanism, very sturdy n well built.




Conclusion : E65 doesnt have any slider problem.

any idea why some themes is very laggy?

maybe it is in a few MB size...
wah... so fast slider loose... disappointed ler

yalo... why they give such bad build to n95... if not i'm sure n95 will have more buyer... now still consider either get n95 as my main phone or e65 as my 2nd phone... too bad I cant own both...

rayzrblade: thanks for the research that you've made regarding e65's slider. Thanks a lot but for me, e65 only good as a 2nd phone for me, not as main phone

but if u dont bother about it then is still ok.

Loose but not too loose lo

then ur choice is obvious already ..

well I'm still deciding between both... if N95 has better build quality and better battery life, then I'm 110% sure will get it...

and there are also some factors that prevents me from getting e65, very low video recording resolution, missing front camera, poor back camera, unable to view full screen video, mono speaker... but it sure is the smallest and slimmest wifi phone afaik, very pocket-able, suitable to use as 2nd phone

BATTERY USAGE ANALYSIS?

A Day in the Life

Bars07:30 'Battery full' (7 bars) Phone set up with Wi-Fi scanning off, Bluetooth ON and visible and connected to my PC while in range, network set to GSM only, display brightness set at default, in other words a fairly typical mid-range configuration. Let's see how it fares during the day....

09:00 Some PIM use, plus took a couple of photos
09:46 Alarm went off
09:47 until 10:00 Used Maps/GPS to navigate to a customer's house
10:50 used Nokia Software Update on the N95 to check firmware was latest (it was)
10:55 Another alarm
10:56 until 11:30 Music playback via headphones
11:30 Received phone call, spoke for 5 minutes
12:00 More PIM use, lots of Calendar browsing and data entry, 5 mins

N95 still shows 7 bars on display

12:10 Did 4 minutes of video recording using the camera
12:18 Another phone call in, only 1 minute this time
12:27 Created 4 screenshots and transferred them to my PC. The N95 is connected via Bluetooth most of the time, remember
12:59 Browsed the Web over GPRS for 20 minutes
13:19 Read an eBook for 10 minutes
13:29 Took a couple more photos
14:30 Browsed the Web over Wi-Fi for 5 minutes as I was at a hotspot
14:45 Took 3 more 5 megapixel photos
15:00 Checked email over GPRS

BarsN95 now showing 6 bars on the battery meter

15:27 until 15:40 PIM use and starting using the N95 with the Nokia Bluetooth keyboard to type the first few paras of this article(!)
15:41 Did a PC Suite sync via Bluetooth
15:42 Did an Image store sync via Bluetooth, to get my new photos onto my PC
15:50 Had another phone call, 1 minute again

N95 now showing 5 bars

16:00 Played Oval Racer for 5 minutes (I came 5th) in the smallest room in the house(!)
16:10 until 16:31 Used the N95 to voice-navigate me to a destination 3 miles away

N95 now shows 4 bars

17:25 until 18:25 An hour of continuous music playback, half of it over speakers (quality is pretty good considering their size)

BarsHanging on in there, the N95 still shows 2 bars...

----------------------------

Verdict

Think back a few years (around 2000) to when mobile phones were phones and sending a text message was the height of high tech. Think back also to when the first handheld GPS receivers appeared. I had one and it ate four alkaline AA cells in four hours straight. Think back to the first digital cameras - these were almost as hungry on battery power. Ditto the average iPod, which will drain a full charge in a dozen hours of use.

Now consider that the N95 'phone' is handling Internet, Bluetooth and voice communications, monitoring your Calendar and Clock, providing GPS and stills/video camera functions when needed, and so on. And, with the 'typical' (actually fairly intensive) day outlined above, it managed to get through with enough power left to make a few last calls if needed.

So, your 'old' phone could go several days without a recharge? Well, guess what? With all the things it does, the N95 won't. Get over it.

Bl-5FAnd, if you decide to take it in-car, as your navigation device, guess what - you're advised to plug it into a 12V charger (though I didn't in my car-based sections of the battery run-down day test above). And if you should use it to film an entire day out with the family (instead of taking your standalone camcorder) then take along the Proporta device charger or similar for a top-up if needed.

My aim in logging a day's use was to see how the N95 coped with a barrage of 'real world' tasks. That my N95 has already been through dozens of full recharge cycles probably helped too. But the end result, a device that worked to the end of a long day, albeit without that much charge to spare, shows that some of the damning criticisms of the N95's battery life are somewhat premature.

I maintain that, used sensitively, the N95 will get you through most days too - at least get you through to its nightly mains recharge. Yes, I'd have loved Nokia to have sacrificed a little in terms of low weight in order to have squeezed in a battery with 50% more capacity. Maybe there will be an after-market extra-capacity battery, with replacement sliding battery cover? Calling Proporta - now there's your next project!
