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

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..

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 N82 with the zenon flash has its advantages, i have to think but yet i am still happy with my N95 performance and since my brother is using my 5800 i can still exchange and use once in awhile cool.gif
The N95 8gb has no card slot as in your stuck with the 8Gb of space? not expandable?

for me i don't even use the built in 8gb much less 16 or 32gb microSDHC cards. yes u can upgrade the n95 to 16gb card, if you have the need for such big space.

so the built in 8gb for the n95 8gb is more than enough for me and personally i just like the look and style of the new n95 8gb compared to the old n95. plus it has bigger ram so that it wouldn't run out of memory and be sluggish in terms of running apps.
*
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.

oh u convert and store movies...i see. so u need a bigger storage space..

well it comes down to personal opinions..either upgrade to 16gb microsdhc card for your current n95 and/or 5800 OR get a new phone.

fyi, i won't be getting SE or samsung as nokia is more widely used and i can use a multitude of compatible batt chargers where ever i am.
*
Well i dont think the N95 will be able to handle the 16gb with its lower ram ability the best option is to upgrade the 5800. Yea i have to agree with your opinion on the chargers and battery for nokia furthermore i am so used to the S60 platform in a nokia rather than a samsung

Yeah.. im so used to the functions of nokia s60 that i can't even go back using nokia's s40...
btw, you can check n95users forum about the usability of n95 with 16gb card. if im not mistaken it's running ok. n95 has better handling of the ram and battery life with the latest firmware.
still 16gb on a 5800 is also fine. biggrin.gif
*
Owhh i see bro, thanks for the input there i will check the thread but its so inactive, nevermind will check around for a 16gb card. I have my N95 on the V30 firmware with the rotate screen option. wanna leave it at this firmware for a reason biggrin.gif
I will check in it thoroughly bro thanks so much for your reply.

anyone knows the price to change the camera protective screen (the one behind)?

er... just to make it clearer, it's the piece of glass behind... can it be replaced?
*
I dont think the piece of glass can be replaced, the camera protective layer can be changed if you have an existing one. you can see differences in pictures if you change the screen protector for the camera lens depending on the brand. I dont own an N95 8gb but i am an N95 user...

better buy this

more better than 5800

better in all aspect

[camera,games,screen,durability,music]

So N85 8 gb has a touch screen and S60 v5 software?
rmber N97 will be released so more S60 v5 softwares are expected to come... brows.gif
It has a hot swappable mem slot capable of going to 32gb...
Can you explain durability bro? have you seen the tube's durability? Dont talk nonsence when you dont know what your saying.5800 durability
If you would ask me, its entirely up to your personal liking and needs.
I am an N95 owner too so i know durability no offence here 8gb-ers notworthy.gif notworthy.gif
