Guest navaraman Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Yep, wished I had saved cash and just gone for the 95. Had a LG viewty before and that was quite good. Easy to use and reliable. I think nokia have tried to put too much in the phone and not tested it enough. Everybody is waiting for the next firmware update. Me, I don't think that it will solve all it's problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 So now might be a good time to advertise my N95? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 OK my mrs picked one of these up yesterday. initial reaction is its very difficult to use, slow internet access and it actually doesn't have GPS on board so it can't be used as a sat nav. The navigation aspect has to be done using google maps and knowing where you are. So I think she'll be sending it back. The camera at 8mp is no better actually than my mates N95s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a discussion on here a while back where, i think, we mostly agreed that it was much better than the N96. It has all the latest gadgets on it along with a new technology screen helping power consumption etc. I'm not due a phone for a little while but, at the moment, the N85 is still ticking all the boxes for me.

Ian W Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Well I bit the bullet and went for a 3g iPhone...brilliant is all I can say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hmm looks like a very nice phone that. Classier certainly than the n96. Any idea if the symbian version of tom tom will work on it as my mates nokia sat nav program on his n95 is just too slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not reading all the posts again to work out which post you're replying to, but if it's a n95 you're talking about then yes, the Symbian TomTom works just fine on it. It's all I ever use for phone and SatNav. NB it dosn't work through the integrated GPS receiver though; you need a seperate BT one. If you mean the iPhone then almost certainly no.

michael Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I have a used but boxed (all cables, instructions etc) N95 that I can flog with the N95 specific version of CoPilot (boxed, legit version) if it's of interest to you? I keep meaning to photograph and advertise it here, I was thinking £130 posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I meant the N85. Its a PITA if the internal GPS won't work with tom tom though. A phone with an onboard independent satnav on is definitely what we want. My mrs is now going to try the sony cybershot c905. I'm torn really between buying a payg or taking a contract up. I am now considering heading abroad again so another 18 month contract would be a bit daft. I'm a bit loath to buy a year or so old phone as the reason I want to replace my phone is the battery is pants after a year and the recharge socket is hit and miss. So funnily enough is my mr's nokia, and for that matter most of the phones I've ever had after a year or so. That puts me in the £300 bracket for a replacement phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 There are other satnav programs available for the N85 that DO work with the internal GPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
