anyone here wants grey other than plum and sand?

everytime i see the battery drop 1 or 2 bar
i will quickly charge it. ahhhaa so i dono how hungry it is

i think with 3000.... nokia should at least give us the slide mechanism like the e65.

e65 is damn cheap n nokia give them good slide.. cis

i think its time for us n95 user to be our own director. shooting videos using tripods



this tripod is now avalable at all nokia shops. fyi

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!

omg i do that too!! ahhaha i put my phone on an extra mousepad with the slide open. ahaha.. no need to open close so many times

i thin kthe n95 tv ad is boring.

wats that photo for

for those who wants to convert any video files so that it plays nicely in your n95..

you may use this piece of software by Nokia



Nokia Video Manager scans and converts any selected video file on your computer to mp4 format. Conversion types include avi, mpeg, wmv and mov (DivX, XVid, MPEG-2 and Quicktime codecs).

According to AllAboutSymbian, the current S60 devices that are capable of playing mp4 (H.264) are the N71, N73, N75, N76, N80, N91, N92, N93 and all S60 3rd Edition FP1 devices including the N95, 6290, 6110 and 5700.

As I'm writing this I'm also scanning my laptop for files to convert to the N95. One thing I can tell you is that it does take a long long time and makes other running application perform very slow. But then again I guess this depends on how much you have stored.

Get the Nokia Video Manager HERE
