Have everything under the sun but it is still lacking... [Posted on 2008-07-30]
I tried it for a few days (more like a weekend) and I had to return it. Although it has everything underneath the sun in terms of technology it was still below my standards due to
- The phone shut down by itself on Saturday so I didn't get my 8AM alarm to wake. At least the iphone will try to reboot when it crashes
- The phone drained it's battery completely on Sunday when it was fully charged the night before. I was left w/o any phone to use Sunday morning.
- The OS is quite slow and laggy at times
- T9 input still isn't my cup of tea
- iTunes sync allowed me to only sync one playlist and with no way rate songs and sync it back to iTunes
- The web browser was faster in 3G but still seemed slow overall in rendering webpages
- When connecting it would sometimes ask me whether I wanted to use the 3G or wifi. This should be automatic
- Even though A2DP was supported the sound from the blue tooth headset was muffled compared to my wired headphones. I'm not sure if this is due to A2DP or the Bluetooth headset. Maybe this is why iPhone didn't support A2DP?
- Obviously there's also the user interface which took quite a few more clicks to get to another place
- Video recording felt like the lens was made of water and the 5MB pictures are substandard even in very brightly lit environments.
- Installing 3rd party apps was a pain if it wasn't signed with a certificate.
Nothing else to add [Posted on 2008-08-03]
Nothing else to add, to what have already been said and announced on the description.
In my personal opinion, it is a great phone and would have 5 stars if it had little and small software and physical upgrades like the n73. For example, the main camera, i agree it wont beat your PnS but i do not care about this 'cuz am a professional photographer, but come on for the amount of money we are paying for this phone should have a cover on the back to protect it (if you are buying the US version at least it doesnt has), and on the software area, i really miss the sleep mode from the n73, it could be annoying for some people but for me, i like it cuz it saves a little more battery.
On this subject, i do not know why people complains so much, if you dont have WiFi, GPS, GPRS and pretend to get rid of your iPod with this, of course the battery wont last at all. Since i own this phone has last me playing with all its functions for 3 days, and withouth playing with it almost 6 whole days. So, it's up to you.
I havent had any gps lock problems, wifi and gprs both work fine, google applications works fine too. Native web browser works good too (you can add another one if you like but the main one does its job). mp3 player and video quality are good.
the one i bought comes with software version 11.0 something, be sure to upgraded to 20.0 something as soon as you received it before makin any setups or contacts so you dont have to do backups or anything like that so you dont get bored wasting time.
the micro sd it came with was 1gb, i quickly change it for a 4gb and works good enough.
i do recommend using your phone as soon as you receive it because the battery comes with some charge already, so use that charge while you start to know your phone, once you are done i also recommend charging it for the first time switched off and for around 5 hours, its a lie you need 12 hours to charge it and even more a myth you need 24 hours.
other than that just have fun with your new phone
Bluetooth problems [Posted on 2008-08-23]
The phone is great, except ... bluetooth connectivity is incompatible with many devices. Car kits are a problem, and my phone will not connect with my Pioneer Premiere car receiver. I've read of problems with BMW factory car kits as well. Nokia acknowledges the incompatibility with Pioneer and says "tough toenails, we don't support third party enhancements." Automatic connection with a Jabra BT8040 earpiece won't work either, although manual connections seem to work OK. So if bluetooth connectivity is an issue, buy something else.
One of the best gadgets I've had... [Posted on 2008-08-28]
I made my homework before choosing this phone and let me say I am glad. Windows based phones have a lot of programs and functions, but are very slow and the management of memory is a mess. Also some times are too bulky that I rather carry my notebook instead.
Basic nokias, sony-ericssons and motorolas are that, basic.
So, I wanted a smart phone, with lots of features, easy of use and that could let me stop carrying many other devices. The nokia did that for me!
Pilot, no longer need it. Ipod, no longer need it. Cannon camera, no longer need it. Garming gps, no longer need it. FM Radio, no longer need it; voice recorder, calculator and games no longer need them, also universal remote, skype phone, etc... Don't get me wrong on this. But... the N95 does all that and well done! I do not miss any of the mentioned.
Is like a swiss knife, every body has one but very few carry it on! With the N95 you can carry all of those devices on. (I am one of those who carries the n95 and the Sw Army)
Why the n95? Came down to blackberry 8310 or 8320, iphone and the n95 to me. But I found the nokia camera a lot better; lens, resolution and also the others do not take movies. Also I found the GPS faster on nokias an can use it out of the box. Wi-fi is marvelous (blackberry made me choose between gps or wi-fi, depending on model I wanted both features), the size, etc.. The touch is firm, well built, nice grab, the size is to me perfect. Is very simple and fast to use, and finally a phone that my ol'man can use with out going to college.
Also I rather this version since the 8 gigas version is more expensive and the memory has a limit. Here I can get the HD-SD for a few bucks in Amazon with... infinite capacity.
If you are a corporate person, or a chat fan, then probably you are stuck with the berry. Which is a great option too. The iphone... well trendy people will love it. I made my choice and think is the best bet!
Thanks for reading!
