QUOTE(enix2000 @ Jan 24 2009, 10:55 PM) been using the N95 for half a years now.. working fine n serving me well.. but sometime my phone will hang.. n when using music player, sometime show General System Error.. so do i have to update my firmware or? btw, i want to use my n-gage features.. but all the games i downloaded are trial version.. what can i do? overall the picture quality is perfect, sound is loud n clear.. big big thumbs up!! check your current firmware version. update it to v30 (hakkable)  or v31... Added on January 25, 2009, 7:33 amQUOTE(irix @ Jan 25 2009, 12:16 AM) for the n-gage part, it's either you buy the games, or hack your firmware to install *ahemm* games.. teach me to install those ngage ahemm games...looks like there's a lot of games coming to ngage...really nice..

u got 5800 recently right? so u still have n95?
no probs with your 5800 is there?
comparing n85 and n95 8gb, i just wanted the bigger screen, and different look from my n81 (sold it off already) & n96 look.
camera wise i think n95 8gb a bit better.. and it looks bug enuf so my friends will be impressed...plus again, it wont be mistaken as the much cheaper n81.

My 5800 is passed to my brother no probs with it so far, so i am using back my old N95 again but i havent really tested an N95 8gb Going for an N96 might be a waste as N97 will be announced this year an N97 is abit too expensive for me Since N95 and N95 8gb looks almost alike besides the colour difference what elde is different besides the both? keypad arrangements slightly is different from what i saw This post has been edited by Bigblock: Jan 25 2009, 05:40 PM

n96 is okay...but do check comparisons between n96 and n95 8gb and the price/performance ratio.
IF n96 is not too expensive than n95 8gb then maybe it would be a viable option. otherwise n85 is on the same price range...with a much diff display (amoled screen) but do take note that n85 would have a lower visibility in sunlight compared to n95 8gb..

Yes your right bro the Oled screen do not impress unlike the N95 but its said to be saving on your battery consumption. If you were me would you upgrade from an N95 to a N95 8gb? Or live with the N95 and get another new model later on in the year?

depends on what u need now.. if u want to upgrade better to do it now because if wait there's always new phones comin out. if u have the money to buy n96 then maybe u should look at Samsung i8510 INNOV8. i think u should read this whether u should upgrade or not.. http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n95_8gb-review-188.php

only n85 and n79 has fm transmitter...but n95/n95 8gb makes up for it with infrared..
fm transmitter...can use in car.. IRed can use to control tv or radio..have to use an app. didn't try it yet..i'll do it soon..
i think for nokia these 3 options are ok. n79, n82, n85 and n95 8gb.
for n82, the best cameraphone for nokia so far..the xenon flash is just brilliant. but watch out for batt life. u need to check other forums for that. n82 i think prone to having the silver colour part around the camera peel out. but it won TIPA award for best cameraphone..wow

Yes the ram is almost doubled on the 8gb it yet a faster phone, i use my 5800 to store movies so the space in it is getting limites left 1gb only so i have to re think on my choices.
