I'm using N95 8GB. Apart from 3G and HSDPA, I use them all.

Dunno about others, but for me, the design of N95 8GB tends to make you use all the functions, but if I'm holding N82 I'd probably use the camera hardcore only.

My view is simple, it's the multimedia keys and bigger screen make you more comfortable to use all the functions. Also due to the dual slide design, holding the N95 in landscape mode felt more like a portable video player cause you won't see the keypads.

Nope, once the n-gage launch it'll support the music key as gaming keys. However I do hope other game developers especially emulators can make full use of the music keys, then it'll be a real gaming device...

Haven't make much use of the irport, gotta install the ir remote soon.

N95 can also install rotateme mah, can even switch off on the fly and anywhere...

BTW I went to Nokia store to play around with the dummy set of N82, the screen size surprise me a bit, it does looked bigger than I initially thought. So for N82...

That's the downside lar, but no problem for me even I apply the protector after 3 weeks... Still got lens door is better, at least won't kena fingerprint and accidently take photos with lots of fingerprints on the lens. Just clean once in a while will do...

At least slide down the N95 and have the dpad at the left side and music keys at the right side feel more like a gaming device mah, and more comfortable to play games that way, hence there's dedicated gaming device N81.

Yup the N82 is quite big but I'm comfortable with big phones though, too small I'll be rather clumsy to handle. Although I can't test the keypad and feeling of the tactile feedback (cause the dummy model dpad and keypads cannot press one ), but the position is quite hard to do one handed operation or else will slip out from hand easily.

Don't think so it'll be too ugly to do it no matter how, and no room for you to put anything on top...

Just get Martin Field Screen Protector, you'll get protecting film for screen, front camera, main camera, and flash as well. RM50 if get from bulk orders, LYN member "daijoubu" is the one to look for, or can't wait then RM68 including shipping directly from singapore (RM60 + shipping).

Honestly, the cutting is perfect (except the front camera, just tiny bit smaller but I almost not using it lol).

Not scratch proof, actually scratch quite easily (if kena sharp object la, finger nails aren't likely to scratch it). But hoh the scratch marks is surprisingly transparent and won't kacau the display (if scratch lightly la), it'll be invincible (I accidently scratch some when pushing the bubbles with credit card). So far no scratches on the main camera lens yet, so...Touch wood...

At least can let people consider if there's any protection available for N95 8GB.

Just FYI N95 8GB it's not about 8GB memory la that's just very minor comparison, at least N82 can get up to 8GB SDHC memory card now, and will support up to 32GB if it's going to be available.

That's why I never buy sport cars, wira do the job very very well for me...

Anyway I once almost stuck 6GB of datas in it, mostly movies cause I went to travel and took lots of pictures and videos, plus watching the movies I transfered on the go...So scare the memory will run out...8GB is a great balance, but to me 16GB is more like it, I can even put in more stuffs especially music files...

Dunno about what other think about this. Personally 8GB built in chip will gimme more confidence that it won't fail suddenly like memory card (I've had bad experience in the past). Memory card felt fragile to me, if buy good quality one can withstand rugged use have to pay even more. So I would rather hope for maybe 16GB built in memory than having memory card slot from future Nokia phones.

I know if phone really kena accident the internal 8GB will also gone, but I've also experienced that my phone dropped, but miniSD gone together too...Langsung cannot access the memory card even though I can retrieve it...

You can, but only one side and in landscape. Open the memory card door, and rotate it a bit, tada, can stand liao.

Regarding the design, I've played with a dummy set recently, although the design is really not bad, and looks quite nice, but it felt a little too long and keypad too small (including the dpad area keys). Tried to operate one hand and my thumb still kinda uncomfortable to reach the lowest row of keys. The keys and dpad can't be pressed due to dummy set (I dunno why), really hope to play with a real set at Nokia store someday.

Eh, N82 also 5MP camera la, some more got xenon flash but N95 8GB dun have...

No doubt getting used to the phone is one thing, I think the keypad on E70 is small for my fingers too, used to press wrong button often, but got used to it eventually.

But if there's something better to start with, why not?

No doubt, N82 is not just xenon flash, noise reduction, details and colour also have significant improvement over N95 family. Hopefully Nokia will put the same noise reduction algorithm to N95 8GB...

I don't find I need (cause I don't have LOL). More often you'll need a good night mode pictures than xenon flash, in this case, N82 still win over N95 8GB. That said, N82 still win N95 8GB even without xenon flash. So if camera is priority, your choice is clear.

Other than that, xenon is a plus.

Everybody is free to express their own opinion, and I find there's nothing wrong with whojen's statement, he was just expressing himself that he's waiting for iphone like upcoming Nokia phone that might or might not kill N95 8GB and N82, that's just his dream phone. Everybody has own preference, he did not like N82 doesn't mean he's stupid to choose something "inferior", and doesn't mean anyone who don't choose N82 is stupid, too. Moreover, where do you find his post offensive or even bashing N95 8GB or N82?

And please, monoblock phone user don't curse your friends and fellows around here. It's inevitable that sliders and flip phones sooner or later will have problems with the ribbon or slider, but it's also true that not every single user have the problem. Some unlucky ones have to deal a lot with the defects, and some don't. Like my brother, although he's not using Nokia, his SE S500i has been all good even after a year of usage and on top of that he even dropped his phone and knocked on the slider part, still work great until now. Also, N95 8GB is still young in the market, how the slider can tahan we still can't predict, it might be Nokia has improve the built quality that it might very durable and can last for long time. And don't tell us if we dropped our phone than habis, it's not about sliders will easily get damage or not, this is merely just cursing. Would you feel good if I tell you that N82 silvery paint will chip off like other older Nokia models even if you take great care of it? That said, there's always price to pay but it's a fact that sliders and flip is the only way to fit in more stuffs without compromising much of the overall phone size. If you look at Japanese phones, they're beautiful with great specs, and they're tons of flips and sliders. They can make it into monoblock, but do you think majority of people will want a big size phone to carry around?

Once again, for comparison between this 2 models, they're simply equal, and has been thoroughly discussed. There's nothing more to add in this thread, really.
