Heck, I`m not an N95 user, have no immediate intention of getting one and yet I too feel rayzrblade is going out of his way to "educate" consumers on the cons of the super-expensive, sucky-battery, poor-slider phone in question here. If I had not known any better, I would have thought someone named N95 have killed someone dear to him in his past life or something (oops, flame

). But seriously, if any new buyer buys a RM3k phone without doing prior research, too bad for him if his investment fails to being him the gratification he was hoping to acquire. I believe that if one is lazy to read up on info that`s already available, then y bring it upon urself, rayzrblade to spoon-feed them? Do u get paid or some ex-potential buyers PM u, thanking u for ur wonderful "reminders" for NOT buying the phone? I doubt it, and I certainly do not see anyone thanking u, rayzrblade for ur contributions any time recent.
Anyway, I`ve read through all 27 pages of this thread to learn more about the phone coz a colleague of mine has one and is asking for my help to help her navigate her phone. I feel the info here is anytime much better compared to reading the manual (and plus a little drama here and there); I was not disappointed. Though I had not plan to get one in the near future, the N95 was one of my KIV list for upgrading my phone. Honestly, I love quite a number of features on it and the few things that`s holding me back is the GPS (am quite used to using Garmin to navigate but I suppose it`s a matter of getting used to) and the price.
I was just wondering ... is there anyone using EON Bank credit cards here? Before u jump to the wrong conclusions, no, I`m not selling credit cards ... merely I am a card holder of the said bank and in their most recent promo leaflet that comes with my statements, the N95 was one of the phones featured for a 24month interest free program. If I calculate correctly, at RM120.++ x 24 months, the price will add up to around RM2.7k ... that`s like the price of an AP unit & I have my doubts that a reputable bank will sell AP units. So I called them up & sure enough, the CS ppl confirmed that the unit is original from Zitron. An ori for RM2.7k? Can this be true? Anyone else encounter this scenario before?
if some new buyer who actually buy a RM3000 phone and without doing prior research / homework, that would be his fault. Don't need to blame the phone itself cause the problem is there and it is the buyer who did not do his/her homework and after that whine at forum to forum regarding the *#&(# phone problem.
i knew the slider was going to be a problem as always (see N80 for example) so i chose a phone that wouldn't be that loose when buying one. Some are so tad loose even before it is used.
Battery life, a buyer should already knew the battery spec what.. (there's model given) and since this is already called a mobile computing phone, the buyer should know that battery ain't gonna that lasting. As a precaution, car charger or extra battery should be prepared.
And again, slow, hang, auto restart issues... this phone is just out for less than a month. Surely it has bugs, so i would say N95 user to stop whining about this issues and wait patiently for a new firmware upgrade to solve this issues.
The conclusion for all my above statements is
DO HOMEWORK OR RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING! It is quite a big investment!
