i don't think you'll be able to use the 3g network in US with this. different frequency, correct me if i'm wrong.
the n95 will be released in us, but not this version (it's called the N95-3, 8gb is N95-2) with support for the 3g network there
it will, however, have the specs somewhat like the 8gb (meaning 128mb ram, 256mb rom, bigger battery,but still 2.6 inch screen)


one more thing. to date, i still don't understand why people are still hyping about comparisons between the n95 (8gb or not) to the iphone
i for one would like to have a comparison with the n95 8gb AND a tytn ii. they're more specced alike than the iphone. bah.

anyone here kind enough to do a review?

Ah yeah, I missed to answer that. Nope, u can't use the N95 8GB = N95-2 in US. This is European version and their 3G protocol is different. You can use it to make call tho, in the US, they are also selling N95-2 currently, so if u really wanna buy it and doesnt care about the 3G incapabilities in the US, then might as well you buy it there, provided that you are going to NY or Chicago, since if I am not mistaken, it's only available in Nokia Flagship Store at these 2 cities.

About iPhone and N95 8GB comparison, it's lame to cmpare these two. It's like apple and orange. Please... only a FANBOY would love iPhone so much with their limited capabilities, lol. Sorry fanboys out there, it's the truth altho I must say I very much like the LOOK of iPhone but not the lousy specs

Anyway Jerm, this is no contest, a review would be a wasted time, haha... BUT if you really want to know a non bias review of this phone side by side, go: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/it...pple_iPhone.php

there's tonnes of n95 vs ifon reviews, and i care not a whit about em.
i want a review of it going up against the tytn ii!

smartphone vs pda phone. they're so similiarly specced, so close in contention. probably will have to wait a few weeks for the first reviews between these two powerhouses

ps hv u tried the lightsabre app? looks darn cool haha

LOL, aaaaaaah!
Oh well, one need both phones to really review it But I am never fond of WM OS, as a stand alone PDA, yes! But put it together with a phone function, nah. Too slow for my liking, it's worse than symbian. But then again, the ppl in Bill's building shud be able to correct that I assume, ppl do said some slight improvement on the WM6.

But on the plus point, the only thing I like about MW is the seamless syncronisation and files management with notebooks (that runs Windows of course). This cant really be said for symbian based phones tho... well, not that bad so far I havent come across huge annoyance... YET. Hahaha!

Hehe, might want to check the lightsabre but dislike the fact it has to be installed in the phone memory. i'm trying to use min amount of phone memory for speedy response time But I can't wait for Nokmote, hahahahah! That will make you go? iPhone? I waaaaaat? LMFAO

missgeek.... have u tried installing any GPS software besides nokia map?... Mapking perhaps?... Nokia Map sucks...got my home address all wrong

Nope, not yet. Yeah Nokia Maps sucks, I could find my hometown but that's it... only big streets with names and nothing else. But it got my home in KL correctly tho, haha. Well, I don't think it's more about the application I think it's GPS as a whole, it's not well used in Malaysia and thus the lack of need to really have a complete map. I know for a fact that maps are updates with demands. I've a friend in Europe, he said the maps are pretty good and uptodate there... and don't forget that european countries sort of seize any road constructions, where else us, in Malaysia esp, the road changes every other day... and alternative routes come out like mushroom after the rain, hahaha.

Well, I will post it here if I try other GPS application later.

I still think that Nokia N95 8gb and the normal N95 consumes too much power.

AGREED. altho I do think it has improved from the old N95. It drains battery when u play with it, if you just leave it alone, just make calls and text, I think it can last to 2-3 days. Well I will test this but have to wait for a while, I am still in obssess mode with the phone, hahaha! Have been watching movies and reading books with it for 2 weeks now and I charge it daily, haha!

sad..... just got my phone for 6 day..now the camera the lens got scratches ...

where to change the whole cover???

i just bought a case to prevent phone from scratch but unfortunately it got a small scratch on bottom right edge by using that case.

if you're feeling adventurous

you can try this

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread...t=vdo+scratches

it works for headunits, i'm sure it will work on phone screens too




** alternatively, you could buy another screen protector and cut out the shape of the lens cover and stick it there

Hmm, it's not the lens, it's the plastic cover, the lens is inside. Ah well, mine is also scratched because of the excessive and obsessive polishing I did. HAHAHAHAHA! I can see small scratch line already. As much as I hate it, because it's not really obvious unless u really looking at it... it still take good pics. The fokus range of the camera overlook the scratches.

It doesnt affect the pic quality so I thot it's Ok. I just have to control my irritatingness then.

I keep on wiping my phone, the suckie thing about black glossy phone is sthe smears!! grrrrrr

I suggest u dont do anything about it holycross UNLESS it is really bad. Then, just go to Nokia store and order the new casing lor.

Hi...new member here...
N95 8GB Comsat set RM2200.

hi norazwan, comsat is AP? (i think so, but i don't know my AP from original much)

Whaaaaat! Hahaha, I got it for 2750 Comsat set liow. Oh well, whatever, I don't really care anymore, hahahah! No point regretting, I'm just glad my phone is working fine and I got it for 2 weeks already, hehe.



Eh, did u try with other simcard? Just to make sure it is the simcard problem not the phone
But the simcard can still use at the old phone or not? I hope nothing is wrong with the phone, better the simcard rosak liow than the phone leh.

Added on November 15, 2007, 7:37 pmYUP, comsat is AP. Just be careful when u buy AP tho, it could also be a recond set. This is also my first time buy an AP set, the logic behind it was this phone is really new and I got it within a week of it's launch in Singapore. So mine is actually from Singtel hehe... thank God no Singtel branding and no locking, just that annoying MIO Generation themes (singtel branding) and the chinese dictionary that I can't delete. If only I could read Chinese (or speak for that matter).

But I'd suggest to buy AP set latest by end this mth, if you really wanna be sure it is a new set lah. They are moving fast at cloning new phones also you'll never know if it is really new after it has been launched for a while
