There's only cut cai tao (cut raddish hehe means sell too expensive) in sg wang, asked all AP set RM2500 and above Ori all around RM3300 , then go to lowyat, Original set all RM2800+- and AP set RM2300...

However that was one month ago la, should be a little cheaper by now but at the same time now near christmas already so I think the price will raise back a little means more or less the same as the price I mentioned above...

PS: Oh I believe AP set now will not be 100% new unit, so it's still better to stick with Avaxx set (again, Zitron didn't carry this model).

Hmm for original set as long as price RM2800 then ok already, anything lower is a plus.

Then as usual you should check the IMEI number correct between the phone *#06# and the box then basically ok liao, also check if the accessories all sealed and never opened (ala the wire wrapping of the cables for example)(should be alright la just look look enough, no need to check very detail), and the battery should be 3 bars when new.

Welcome to N95 8GB family!

You ordered already mah so considered joined liao haha...

Yeah it's a tough choice, the xenon flash alone can make you think twice to exchange with bigger screen/little more battery juice...

A good sign of the xenon nonetheless, when nokia will put xenon in a flagship slider model?

Another welcome for new member!

Hmm you didn't include the N82? Actually excluding the N82 and also price concern, the choice is definitely clear...

Hopefully the symbian platforms will be as standard as PC windows in the future! (Hopefully not so much virus arrgh... )

What's the map ID? I couldn't get the unlock code no matter how hard I try. Or I should request it? I didn't contribute the map though...

Guys I just installed the rotateMe, somebody signed it for me...So happy now! Very cool to use!

Check if you got the SingTel set if it's from Singapore, best use NSS to change the product code to Malaysia one. I brough mine straight to Nokia Care Center to reinstall the Malaysia's firmware.

No different, actually I lazy to change to mass memory so if anything happen, my sms and attachments all will gone.

Wa! Then you must be happy until meltz liao! Can half-half somemore!

Yeah, got virus. I think F-Secure is most famous among all, you can download a 30 day trial via your phone's "Download!" section.

Hmm I wonder if Maxis Easy Access (or something similar with Celcom/DiGi) can be used with SingTel unit?

Anyway, to remove the corrupted installation, connect phone as data transfer, then search for the folders to delete under "private" and "system" or something like that. Things to delete varies from app to app, so have to look for it. A tips is you can open certain unknown files with notepad and some will show the vendor then you know which is which.

Added on December 21, 2007, 3:06 amBy the way, after the official launch until now which is more than a month, anyone of you NOT satisfied with the slider quality?

I myself feel the slider actually quite solid but it does loosen up and wobble a bit, and last time I put my phone in the side pocket and accidently pressed the phone by turning to the phone's direction while lying on the floor. But still seems OK, still slide and lock into place nicely, and feels like there's magnet forcing the slider lock into place when it's pushed closer to the locking point. Not like the demo unit I played at the Nokia store in Pavilion, feels solid and won't wobble so much but when slider into place feels like there's not magnet to force into place...

Also AFAIK built quality seems to vary from unit to unit even from the same region...

Wah good, you got a made in finland unit!

...Dunno if my slider become spoiled those Nokia people can make it more solid or not with new parts...Cause I'm going to do that in the future if anything happened to the slider.

...Maybe by then new model already come out liao lol...Hopefully my phone can last for the next 2 years la cause keep changing phone will break my bank pretty fast...

Added on December 21, 2007, 1:16 pmEh? Your camera can use the bright LED during video recording? Mine only activate the red light during video recording, even from day 1 I got the phone...

This post has been edited by pigcat: Dec 21 2007, 01:18 PM

Dunno leh, by right it SHOULD be white LED light cause useful for low light recording. Ah...Nokia, Nokia...Fix it asap will ya?

No the point is you have to at least phone Nokia to ask about the price then you get an accurate pricing of the battery. With higher capacity battery like that, should be slightly more than RM200.

Hmm thought of sharing some photos taken by N95 8GB...Enjoy!

I also put the martin screen protector already ah, seems don't affect the image in anyway.

Actually I also took quite some blurry picture when i first got the phone, then I start to learn how to use a very steady hand while taking picture although the shutter speed is really fast for day light pictures but still need very steady hands (kinda learn from my father's Canon 30D, always take blurry pictures lol I think N95 8GB a lot easier to use). Those pictures are all switch on and snap, with no extra setting at all except manually switch off the flash. The building and the flowers are taken under the shade of sunlight so I think easy to take good pictures that way. Going to take some pictures direct under sunlight and see how it perform.

Still trying to master the night shots, but I think due to the pump to ISO800 it's really impossible to get very clear picture but still OK nonetheless when resize to smaller picture like 800x600 or 640x480.

Damn, now I finally understand why people can poisoned by photographing, it's damn fun now I'm starting to get addicted already damn lol!

PS: Nokia, waiting for your N95 + xenon

Added on December 22, 2007, 11:39 amI've also checked your photo information, apparently you shaked your hand with the first picture I think, and I think you probably need landscape preset to take the 2nd one. Then the aquarium it's already ISO800 so it's pretty normal for a picture come out like that, cause mine also the same la so no worries.

PS: If you don't already know how to check the photo's information, right click your jpeg file and click properties, choose "summary" tab and click "advance".

I'll try later and report back cause now busy a bit in front of the computer. Should be OK to capture that but I think only in sports mode with lots of EV (but mine can't work arrgh). I tried capture the table fan, although the picture is super dark but I think it's still with a bit of ghosting.

By the way you use your K800 to capture with flash on or off?

I don't think N95 8GB can cause no xenon flash la. Not a fair comparison.

Xenon flash is really really powerful that it only need such a short moment for the camera lens to capture the light source. Think if the xenon continously light on I bet you can keep your eyes open cause it's too bright. So the best solution is to use the sports mode with plenty of light sources.

That said, all N95 need is xenon flash, really really love the design of the N95, apart from the 3.5mm better if put on top there's hardly ANYTHING I can pick about the design, all the layout simply flawless. But I really scare Nokia will stupid until change the design...

It really depends, AFAIK Comsat seems to distribute the cheapest price for consumers therefore it's quite famous in KL, even ah beng shops also carry many Comsat sets. However, it depends where the handset comes from, I got a set that's not from singapore so there's no chinese input. If you want to jimat, use NSS to change product code and update the firmware, or just go to Nokia center pay RM30 to reflash firmware.

FYI, the GPS is working even before flashing the firmware.

Guys, I have been out to China for travelling for a week, gonna post some pictures here when I sort those pictures out...

Same thing happened, I'm pretty sure it happened after I installed the latest maps with maploader 1.3. Shouldn't affect the core application, really strange...

Actually the best screen saver should be like SE phones which will totally blank the screen to give maximum power saving (at least I know W810i is like that, blank until I tot the phone already switch off). I find original screen saver is OK to use, basically useless though cause any key to activate the backlight will also bring the display back to active stanby mode, without the backlight the screensaver is barely readable under real life usage.

Nokia really need to do something on this...Anyway I already used to the speed, just copy 2 GB and go yum cha then come back, done...
