I want to buy a new phone, and I'm looking at SE W960i, Nokia N95 (not the 8gb) and also the N82.


1. Which one of these are better overall?

2. What are the downsides of these phones?

I want to buy a new phone and currently I'm looking at the N95 (not 8gb) and the N82.

AFAIK both are about the same price, so which one is better overall?

Any downsides on both of these phones? what about the speakers, which is louder?

thanks all...


btw, did anybody try to use the n95's infrared (irda) as a controller for your television, aircond etc??? i heard that there are applications that can be used on n95 as a remote control.

and another thing, can i use gps on n82 or n95 in malaysia. does it have malaysian maps?? and what is malsingmaps?

Ok,

N95 (not the 8GB version)
-Bigger navigation pads
-Lighter than 8gb version
-Can be used with one hand
-Till now can be used with microSDHC up to 8GB
-16gb compatibility is supported with the most recent firmware update (not sure but WILL be supported)
-will later support up to maximum 32gb microSDHC
xLower ram than n95 8gb and n82
xLower battery life compared to the rest on this list i wrote

N82
-Has Xenon flash and brighter than n95's camera
-Candybar type phone for who that likes this type of phone
-Has much larger ram than n95 (much faster startup and operation)
-Use microSDHC as well and can be supported up to 8gb now
-will later support up to maximum 32gb microSDHC
xDoesn't look that stylish and looks cheaper than it should
xCannot stand on it sides to take pictures
xSmaller screen than n95, w960i and of course n95 8gb


w960i
-Has touch screen
-Better battery life than n95 8gb
-Large ram (same as n82, faster startup and operation)
xDoes not support wifi version G
xDoes not have GPS
xOnly has 3.2 mp camera

N81
-Better music phone
-Gaming phone
-Nice attractive design
xNavigation pad design is too close to each other, might press wrong buttons (not good for bigger sized fingers)
xOnly 2 mp camera
xDoes not have the numerous features of the above phones

K850i
-Much better battery life
-Candybar design
xN95 and n82 camera is much better
xSmaller screen
xNot much function compared to n95 and n82
xDo not have gps, wifi etc

I just want to ask something here.

I'm interested in buying an n81, because of it's superb audio quality that rivals SonyEricsson's Wseries phones.

I wanted to buy an n81, not the 8gb version as i heard that i could support up to 8gb card at the moment, and later maybe 16gb and 32 gb microSDHS cards.

Which colour is better for the n81? the SILVER or the BLUE colour?

N81
-Superb sound even at highest sound levels
-No build in gps
-2mp camera with flash
-Gaming phone
-Music phone
-Slider phone
-Same Symbian platform as n82

N82
-Sound from speakers are not that impressive
-5mp Carl Zeiss lens with Xenon flash
-Candybar design
-Small buttons
-Same Symbian platform as n81
-The only nokia phone with Xenon flash (this flash is better as it is brighter)

Just wanted to comment on w910, this Walkman series phone is not that good when it comes to music and sound. Compared to n81 in terms of speaker sound, the w910 looses big time. The keypad on w910 is easily broken and that's not good at all...

If you're into music, either get another W series or K series phone or if you have the money get the n81.

If you're into imaging and pictures, get the n82 and not the k850i. The price of k850i is quite high even though the functions are less than n82 and screen size is smaller. N82 has gps and wifi. picture quality is about the same. There's no clear advantage on imaging between n82 and k850i.

1. Any brand would do.
2. Rm1000++
3. At least 3.2mp with AUTOFOCUS, 3g, screen at least 2.2"
4. Does not matter.
