The internal 8GB flash memory simply act as memory card. When I choose to install app, I have the choice of phone memory or memory card (which is the 8GB memory).

Yup, I'm the one who *gulp* want to sell the phone but in the end decided to keep it (in the 8GB version thread).

Apart from the non official firmware/software/content, now every single thing worked as expected. Well, absolutely NO COMPLAINT, to be accurate.

Navigating within menus and switching apps is really quick and snappy, of course some bigger ones like opening gallery and waiting the 5MP pictures to load takes more time, but overall, nothing considered "waiting". Loading the map/GPS is also very fast, within 5 secs which is average to me.

Also, no hanging so far when working with just the phone. I've experienced hanging and restarts when dealing with the cable+PC suite, not that it's bad, it's just that I'm abusing it (copying contact/files while browsing GPS/map, anyone?).

About the 8GB memory and no card slots, well let me tell you, when the hell you need 8GB? I prefer to watch movies and listen music at home. Reserve your 8GB for photo and video shooting, you'll need them. I think 8GB is a very nice number, you certainly won't need more or (the point is) you'll be paying more. However, more is always good, not now at the very least due to the cost of the memory chips. I always dreaming how much capacity a memory can reach in the future so I can buy a big one later and use the small one now. No, you'll probably have to deal with firmware, and not always the phone can handle large capacity cards correctly. So, built in, big memory, hassle free. Why not?

There seems to be no "remove hardware" for the USB connection (like you would before you unplug your thumb drive), unplugging the cable straight away scared me a little as I have had so many stupid problems with USB cased harddisk drive.

So, in the end, to summarize everything up, this is "THE PHONE". Seriously, you couldn't really ask for more at this point, the balance within battery and functions are just nice. And lastly, the black color looks way more classy than you'll think, and I LOVE it...

i've been to pavilion today, and visited the nokia store. I've played around with the N95 unit, i was so suprised with the slider, when the slider in the middle position and pressed on the edge, you can press down 0.5mm further! The new 8gb version should be solid and won't move when you pressed down (at least mine does).

So you can go pavilion nokia store to have a feel on the N95 first before you commit. Since the 8gb came out i strongly recommend save more money to get the 8gb instead.

However i hope it was just the test unit being unhealthy.

yes it's not really noticeable but it really scares me cause i watch someone post his video on youtube with exactly the same problem and the top cover really came off and spoiled (he post another video later).

Test the unit first lo.

Yup that's a pretty handy app, also the *Ahem protection is only serial...

With the new firmware I think both the classic and 8GB more or less the same, with different hardware spec only like battery/RAM/screen/8GB internal memory etc. So there's no point flash to the 8GB OS, even if you do there's high chance the OS will not function properly.

Classic N95 also can multitask (my E70 also can), it's just that with little free RAM multitasking will be PITA, while the larger 128MB RAM can handle basically anything you can squeeze out of the phone. N95 classic user might caught into problem like out of memory error while doing web surfing + music playing + serveral realtime app running.

In the 8GB version, you have to press "0" to have it lock to your current position. Try try...?

It's your phone...Mind to spend a little more time and effort...?

Better not...Phone is something that can be easily conned...If you don't check properly, NOKLA can look really alike as the NOKIA...Search NOKLA on youtube and you'll know...

Rule of thumb, get at least an AP set if you're not too keen on checking the phone if it's realdeal, or best stick to authorized set.

There's a thread pinned on the Handphones and Communications section, read more on it.

For AP, there're a lot more things to work on like checking the firmware, battery, accessory etc etc...AP warranty is not so trusted...I also bought AP set but I virtually treat it as no warranty set...

Also, you might not like the operator logo printed extra on the phones like Vodafone, TIM, etc etc...

Yup, the back cover can be taken off without a single screw needed. Search youtube for the keyword "n95 slider fix". Also there's a few blog with the same guide.

After checking the spec, N82 uses an even smaller USB port called MicroUSB. Still no charging through USB, though. Perhaps like SE phones, charging through USB seems not stable and enough power...

CSL is one of the AP. AP basically means approved by SIRIM but not supported by authorized distributor (for Nokia they're Avaxx, Zitron and I think one more but definitely not CSL).

So, CSL is still AP ler...But not too bad la, maybe RM50~RM80 extra you paid compared to others...

Not much, but here we go:

1. Switch off flash for auto mode for general shooting (duh!)

2. Switch off flash for close up mode for close up (duuuuuuh!!)

3. Switch white balance to sunny when taking flash photo at low light. I find this extremely useful to counter the blue'ish flash photos...

4. If really want to capture a room with total darkness with max brightness, switch to night mode and enable flash (keh keh keh...don't shake your hand!!)

It's everywhere on ebay. Some more claimed to be a metal one, not plastic.

Izzit when there's sound then it's buzzing or it's buzzing all the way? I could be the earpiece loosen already...

Could be the matter of the hardware. If operator problem then you can try use your friend's sim card and see. I would suspect it's a hardware loosen or something cause software normally won't do this unless it's the network problem.

Kekeke, it's not a bug, it's the behaviour. You have to insert it *fully* before the prompt of enhancement menu, means insert it quick quick lo. And, you have to fully insert it, means push it deep end until cannot push somemore (of course don't use too much force!). I know we all sayang the 3.5mm connector but no if you want to use then have to do it.

Also if you scare spoil the 3.5mm connector, watch this, it's very easily replaceable (by no means you can do it yourself, just no need to solder).

Oh how long you own your phone already? The remote control has got battery inside to tell your nokia phone that it's a remote control, but I read about there's a battery inside and will become flat as short as 2 months of usage...It could be the battery kong liao...

There's a guide I read a while back, I think it's discussed at nokia forum. Maybe google a bit? Or I think Nokia people can do it for you maybe at a charge, it's more recommended cause opening the remote control is a bit tricky cause you might break the spring where the screw is actually underneath so you need to take out. Why Nokia always want to come out with a perfect device with so many minor minor flaws...
