the N96 is definitely a contender - apart from the looks! All of the images i have seen for it make it look too flat-fronted if you see what i mean!

if there are any decent hands on images out there, i haven't seen 'em. If the device is actually out when i go shopping in about 10 days time it may get a look in but till then, i'm reading all the early reviews of the 8510i and its looking good...

I think i've come away from the Omnia purely cos of the touchscreen interface - unless someone can convince me that the screen keyboard is a winner...

I just got an E51 for the GF, so that I could see what Nokia, MfE and Symbian are up to these days. It's a very nice handset, not sure about the OS (but I only played for an hour or so), and MfE setup was not "obvious" (but then, I only played for an hour or so!)

Do the Nokias do Exchange Push email? How is the web browsing?

No, unlimited means it has no data limit (you've always been able to browse whatever you like). It's fair use, not a limit, so you'll just get a warning or something if you keep going over 500mb, instead of being hit with a charge.

Mmm, that's a lot of money. I can get subsidy PIN code directly from T-Mobile for £15. I'm sure there's a way...
Thanks for your reply, I'll do some research when I get time over the weekend.

Hi, I am thinking of jumping from WM to the N82. The big thing for me for WM is the ability to sync my Outlook calendar correctly. I use it to keep track of my meetings and need it to be 100% reliable. I had a SE K790 a couple of years ago and had to get rid of it because it wouldn't sync recurring meetings correctly. Specifically, if you changed just one instance of a recurring meeting and not the whole series, that wouldn't show up correctly. I don't really know anything about Symbian or S60 so I don't know if the N82 will have a similar problem. Have you tried this with the N82? The N82 has everything I want, especially the camera but the calendar thing is a deal breaker for me. Hopefully this isn't a problem. Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

Hi All,

I'd like to unlock my Sony Ericsson K800i from T-Mobile and I'd appreciate if someone could give me some information/attachment to a free good website/program, please!

Well, I have it and I love it!
It is unlocked and it's pretty effing special, and the battery lasts and lasts!

im currently pondering on w/c phone to buy to replace my old 6680.. im trying to choose from n73 n70 n95 on nokia phones. and k810i, w880 on SE and D900i u600 u700 on samasung.. which do you is best to choose.
these are the major things i look for a phone
>good camera not lower than 2mega
>camera flash
>good video (i hate sluggish)
>not sluggish in terms of applications or simply ease of use
>nice screen resolution
>small thin as possibly can (they say n95 is bulky)
>i can custom install themes and apps
>good replacement for an ipod or mp3 player
>good ergonomics (i have tiny hands)
>can be put in may pocket without having slides go haywire and open just that easily in my pocket
>good loudspeaker
>long talk time (i talk alot over the phone)
>has a good handsfree (unlike my 6680 popport always comes off after some time of use and start to get loose)
>if uses slide-up w/c choice is less to wooble.
>can support large memory 2G i hope. to store music
>nice multimedia functions
>a radio wud be nice.
>i dont care much bout wifi 3g or internet browsing at all.

i think to sum it up., a phone that i can use to make alot of calls take good pictures even at night or dark places, i can takeup my music on the go, good speakers and mic. can play my favorite music videos large screen that can be landscaped bout 2.1 - 2.6".. and easy on the pocket (w/o unwanted apps to suddenly open)

im having thoughts of buying n73 though i like all the features of n95 just like a PC but alot of reviews said its faulty sluggish and cheap material. so is it wise to got n73 or n95 if not then which from SE or Samsung is the best choice?

all opinions and self experieces are welcome and thank you. hope some can light up my dilemma

Ok guys, farly new here so bear with me.... this N95 you talk about (Sweet phone)can someone like myself in the U.S. get one of these Phones that cheap? I see you talk about contracts and such but the price is silly......I don't understand?!?

If you dare trust them (they are I suppose owned by the CPW now at least), try www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk as they were MEANT to be doing the N95 on Orange's Dolphin £35 tariff, with the phone only £14.99

That's fairly cheap, but again, it's ALWAYS likely to be an 18 month contract for this phone mind - after all, it's still £549.99 to buy sim free...

It's a fabulous phone. Camera is great, and I haven't experienced any serious bugs at all.

Highly recommended!

That's bad news. I was counting on using MailForExchange if I upgrade to the N95. In fact that makes me wonder whether it would be better to wait for the E90 or the HTC Wings.

I'm still using the Treo 650!

I think I'll get the E61i as soon as it appears though.

I'm wondering what to do about GPS though. I have Tom Tom on the Treo with a bluetooth GPS receiver. What's the best thing to use when I sell the Treo? A stand alone Tom Tom or a GPS solution for the E61i?

The GPS isn't perfect.. it takes a while to lock, but once it has, its fine - its also, (as you'd expect) *MUCH* quicker if you're not moving when obtaining the signal. My bluetooth GPS takes about 15 - 45 seconds to lock, but the phone seems to take about a minute, maybe more.

I got MailForExchange 1.5 yesterday but was told only E series could use it, i got the 1.3.1 build (by guessing the url, which is: http://www.businesssoftware.nokia.com/mail...nge(1.3.1).SISX for anyone whos googling/searching for this too!) - Ill try it now

Edit: MailForExchange fails: I get a 'Function not implemented' error when trying to open email, but it does sync contacts.. which along with IMAP will do, pretty much - I wish nokia would release MailForExchange as a paid service for N Series users (i know they have to pay a license to Microsoft, so theres no point giving it to every N Series phone!)

Edit2: Orange retentions offered me the phone for £19.99 - but i'm afraid its worth the extra money for Web n' Walk!

I think you'll notice much more if you use an Exchange server.. I do, and i miss automatic contact syncing over-the-air, but having to plug it into the pc every day isn't the end of the world - I'm using IMAP, and obviously email is pull, not push, but again: Push email was cool.. but i very rarely used it, only to manually check for email when i'm out, and if i really need it, i can just have the N95 happily hop on to Web n Walk and automatically update every 5 minutes or something, push email was very much a novelty

The pictures are amazing on it (just look at all the pictures its taken on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/cameras/nokia/n95/). The GPS Maps are brilliant - useless indoors like you'd expect, but not having to carry around a bluetooth GPS now will save me a lot of effort.

I had a C600 before, its a year old, and despite me recently going back to the factory firmware and settings, i often miss calls because it doesn't register the fact i've told it to pick up the call.. the n95 is so fast and responsive, everything you want done is just.. instant.

There really is nothing i could fault with it. I read one review about it which said the slider was a bit loose and rattled: Mine doesn't. I read another review which talks about battery life.. Mine has been on for 16 hours or so now, with bluetooth and establishing a wifi connection when it needs it for podcasts or something, and the bar hasn't even gone down 1 notch!

Couldn't be happier

When that issue's eliminated, then I think a lot more people will be interested.

So how exactly is the bizarre marketing stunt supposed to work?

I'm interested because it sounds ridiculous and pointless, and like corporate spam on MoDaCo masquerading as a third party...
