Guest bennish Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Hey guys i really like the nokia n95. i tend to recharge my treo 750 every day or two anyway (i'm a cradle guy) so the battery isn't a big problem. Is there anything i should know about that would keep me with windows mobile? I'd feel kinda guilty leaving for symbian but the phone really looks great. Is there anything anyone can say to stop me defecting?

Is there anything i should know about that would keep me with windows mobile? I'd feel kinda guilty leaving for symbian but the phone really looks great. Is there anything anyone can say to stop me defecting? I have used an N80 and that put me off buying a Symbian phone due to its performance, the UI looked great but it was very slow, it never crashed (out of memory alerts) but always slowed to a crawl after a couple of key presses. Some other people I know had previous N series phones and they all were slow. I think the user memory that Nokia provide is very low (tens of MB). I thought about the N95, it appears to be a great spec. on paper but this does not translate into a usable phone (ie UI slow and battery life poor, couple of hours at most or a couple of mins using GPS :) ). I think its a much better thought out UI than WM, has a much better browser and media app. Maybe firmware upgrades will sort some of the problems out, but like most technology it usually the next revision (ie hardware) that fixes things (more memory & faster processor when battery technology has caught up!).
Guest bennish Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) actually i've read quite a few comparisons between the 95 and 80 - they say that yes, the 80 was very slow, but that the 95 is quite fast. it also has a faster cpu. and i think it's 93 mb, which isn't really too bad. i'm not sure how non-win systems go with ram... but i believe the n80 has 40 mb ram, so effectively the n95 has more than twice the ram you've experienced. the battery life, well i know you're exaggerating about a couple of hours. quite a few reviewers have reported 24 hours medium-heavy usage, and 3 days with minimal usage (basically just texts). i'm the kind of guy who cradles it every day. however, if i was travelling, maybe i'd invest in a second battery... (travelling i'd be using the video, maps, etc a lot). i'm not quite as interested in the gps itself as just being able to download the maps and have them set out in a good program... i'd use the gps every so often of course, but not all the time. thanks for your info on your n80 experiences... i could wait for the theoretical n96 or n100... wouldn't that be awesome, with qwerty slide out, symbian uiq touch, 500mhz, 256mb ram, 1300mAh battery, 8gig, vga screen.... 17mm thickness... mmm... anyway, so is there anything windows mobile based that will do all the stuff the n95 does? basically it's the camera, mapping, and ultra sweetness that gets me.

Guest bennish Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 by the way, also, i don't use 3g... can't afford it and don't need it. surely just using 2g (gsm) would give me a large boost over 3g when it comes to battery power? were you using 3g on your n80?
