Sheefa Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Got mine through today and damn she is fine! Been playing with it for about 4 hours now, settings, wi-fi etc and it's perfect. No stupid lag like the old Nokia 6680 variants and the pixels/colouring is absolute quality. The 3d games are brilliant too and I have to say the picture and video quality is out of this world! One funky phone, one very pleased owner. Anyone else got one and as nearly excited as me? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yeah.. I posted my thoughts, including mucho disappointmento. I forgot one fucking shit restriction in my last post though... SIP. Orange have disabled the SIP client, so I can't use the phone with, e.g. voipcheap.com, sipgate.com etc over WLAN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 I think people expect too bloody much thesedays. It's a stylish, mint looking phone, does the job as well as being able to capture brilliant images and video, browse the web through wi-fi and sports some excellent add ons like Sat-nav. What else do you want it to do? Become a fecking sandwich maker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else do you want it to do? Become a fecking sandwich maker? I expected them not to have restricted the software, in an attempt to make the E-series phones more suitable as 'business phones'. Hardware is sweet, except for the piss poor battery life. I used TomTom on the phone for ~60 minutes today, and I have RoadSync set to synchronise emails every 15 minutes between 8am and 6pm. I spent maybe 35 minutes on the phone today, and the battery was dead before 6pm. I admit that this won't bother me when I get around to buying a new car charger/holder, but I wouldn't like to go GPS trekking with one. Oh yeah I forgot the other annoyance - all the millions of Nokia chargers that are in circulation at peoples houses and offices don't fit this phone with its new small socket Doesn't support Mail for Exchange - no synchronisation to an Exchange server. Doesn't allow Active Standby Plugins, so new emails cannot be displayed on the front screen alongside the calendar. The much famed SIP/VoIP stuff is disabled - in the Orange version anyway. Probably other stuff. It's a good phone, but I can see me going for a different one in the future. This RoadSync stuff isn't working out for me on email - I really need to have new mails displayed on the front screen, so that if I don't respond to something right away, I am at least reminded of it everytime I look at the screen.

Rob Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 all the millions of Nokia chargers that are in circulation at peoples houses and offices don't fit this phone with its new small socket That's the thing that really puts me off getting a new one, I have a charger at work, one on my home desk, one in the kitchen drawer, one hard-wired into the supra ashtray, a spare cig lighter one in the supra and one in the Audi, all of which would have to be changed.

michael Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I bought a few adapters that convert the old chargers to the new smaller plug - they were 99p each. Stick "nokia ca-44" into an eBay search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet, TomTom won't tell me if they are working on it either - they will only say "check back in the future and your device may be supported" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBDJ Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Just so you know, Vodafone have also disabled the SIP functionality on the N95. More information here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/04/18/voip_wars_head_for_ofcom/ Was going to get one in at work for testing the SIP functionality - we use it quite extensively here - guess it will have to be a different network!

CJ Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 *strokes T-Mobile contract* I would be very wary of going with T-Mobile. I changed from Vodafone about 8 months ago and on the surface it looks a great deal but the piss poor coverage (yes I did check the coverage on their site and it looked OK) in my area is a real let down. They promised they would save me money over Vodafone and they didn't lie as I cannot use the fecking thing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I did look into this when I signed up and so far it's not been an issue, in fact I'm even getting 3G / HSDPA in some fairly odd rural locations - I'm sure there will be places where it sucks but I rarely use voice calling anyway so I'll just keep driving until I get somewhere with a signal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
