I have been a smartphone user for a fair few years, and I've always found this site a great source of information. The question I want to ask is this - is there a similar site anyone has used for Symbian phones as I am about to buy an N95, so I will sadly be leaving the community.

Noooooooo, don't do it.
Seriously though, from many user reports the N95 doesn't seem to be up to much. The N95 8Gb sounds more interesting. Personally I am considering an N82, although will probably get a Touch Dual at the same time. www.allaboutsymbian.com is a decent site/forum, although they are a bit too gung-ho about the joys of the Symbian OS for a non-owner like me. |

Hehe. As much as I love windows mobile, and find it improving all the time, I can't help but want something a bit more reliable. Looking at the N95 there was a dodgey batch, but the others are amazing. I was looking at the touch and the iPhone as well but the N95 simply out-spec'd them both. That and I graduate this year so I might need this model to work full-time, my handset << is actualy out of date, I've had a C600 for the last 18 months. That is to say I've had 13 C600's in the last 18 months... I'm going to finish this post quick so it's submitted at 13:37... edit: Nooooooo 13:38.... Yeah so basically I may return to windows mobile in the future but it's going to be symbian for the next 18 months... edit to edit: And from what I've heard the only differences between the N95 and N95 8Gb are as such: ╔════════════╤════════════ ══════╗ ║ Nokia N95░░░░│Nokia N95 8Gb░░░░░░░░░║ ╠════════════╪════════════ ══════╣ ║Micro SD Slot░░░│8Gb internal memory░░░║ - O2 provide a 8Gb memory card with N95 ╟────────────┼──────────── ──────╢ ║Camera Shutter░│No Camera Shutter░░░░░║ ╟────────────┼──────────── ──────╢ ║950mAh Battery░│1200mAh Battery░░░░░░║ - Buying a 3000mAh battery from a reccomended seller on ebay ╟────────────┼──────────── ──────╢ ║Comes with maps│Comes with Spiderman 3║ - I can download Spiderman 3 ╚════════════╧════════════ ══════╝ Basically on the deal I'm getting this phone is a bargin - they'd have to offer me money to go for HTC again over this phone... Does anyone knowwhy my table is messed up (apart from the non-monospace fonts) This post has been edited by ThEhEaDoFaBrOoM: Jan 11 2008, 14:01 |

Does anyone knowwhy my table is messed up (apart from the non-monospace fonts) I switched from WM to N95 last year. There are a couple of things i still miss from WM (T9 dialling in the standby screen, slightly better alternatives for 3rd party PIM programs) but the overall package of the N95 is simply awesome! The specs are great, the build quality, though not up there with a Nokia dumb phone, is better than any HTC device I have ever owned, and the sheer reliablity and strength of the phone is tremendous. If there is signal to be grabbed the Nokia grabs it and doesn't let go. Bluetooth is perfect with every headset and car kit I have tried. Suprisingly, syncing with Exchange is as easy as WM and syncing to Outlook is actually easier and less error prone! I've got to say though, if I were buying now I probably look at the N82 over the N95. The camera is better and the rest of the functionality is the same but the overall size of the package is significantly less and the N82 also has a lot more RAM. I am back in the market for a WM device now though, not to replace the N95 but to use along side it. I have changed job and I need a heavy PIM again for controlling a complex set of plans/task lists. Hence I'm scouting these boards again... With regards to forums the best ones are AllAboutSymbian.com, and Symbian-Freak.com. As Dr Who says, some of the people there are a bit "over enthusiastic" but not really anymore so than on other forums. This post has been edited by xerxes: Jan 18 2008, 00:47 |
