    Anyone got the Nokia N95 yet?

    I was thinking of getting this but I hear that the software runs very slow and hence it is a pain to use.

    Does anyone here have this phone?

    Not got one but someone I work with has it and his comments go something like, if you are seriously going to use ALL the functionality it's "ok" but if you are not, better getting something less bulky and easier to use. He has had it two months now and decided last week to get something lighter and less bulky

      And you can't get any other GPS software that works with the on-board receiver (yet!).

        I've got one, camera is excellent - GPS more of a gimmick and the battery is next to useless.

            I have one and it is fine and dandy. Not really a phone conoisseur, but it does everything I'd want it to and probably more.

              I've got one - I wouldn't say the apps are slow. Not a bad bit of kit, WiFi is nice to have. A few niggles though:

              - Not that impressed with camera for stills, seems to have trouble focusing in low light or when there is a lot of detail (e.g. car engine bay). Camera on my old K750i (i really miss that actually) was better IMHO.

              - MP3 player is good (don't use the supplied ear pieces though) but eats battery.

              - Video playback is excellent.

              - Don't like the way all images on the phone show up in the gallery - there seems no way of managing them in separate folders AND not have them display in the gallery - bit poor software design that.

              Works well enough as a phone though but battery life isn't as good as my Sony was.

                that's true, it does get through a lot of battery. I've got 3 to swap in and out as required.

                  Yep that about sums it up. The MP3 player is excellent as well though - it does album art and everything. And I've got to level 30-something on "Snakes".
