The classic one also has it.

[Tanmay Satpathy]

go for N95-8gb. It has more RAM which results in better performance and lesser hangs. Big screen and a cool black color. However if you don't consider dual slide design (a bit of uncomfortable in jeans pockets) N82 is slight better option.

In my opinion go for a set with S60 3rd edition FP 2 (newer models of nokia features this os).

It had the accelerometer from the beginning itself.
It was not enabled in the initial firmware but enabled in v30.0.015

Here is an video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26duMakivPE

The device details on gsmarena is only stating the launch spec.

I ve been using the n95 8 gb for some time now and frankly although the phone has everything i particularly do not like it.Its rather bulky and the inteface is just like any other nokia phone.Spend your money somewhere else.

[bilalarc]

All right

this is what i am aiming for

get a n95 or n95-8gb

OR

go for a pc upgrade

1. E8400
2. Nvidia 9800 GT or ATi 4850

so Help coz I am confused what to do.

[R2K]

go for the PC upgrade ..........N95 is not worth for that kinda money

[Head Banger]

Upgrade ur pc.

[moshel]

it depends on 2 things..

1. what PC ur having right now.
2. what phone ur using right now.

if both of them suck then try to invest in both the things...
If u can live with your current PC or Phone right now, then go for the other remaining thing.

[bilalarc]

Currently I hav N81 2gb mobile

as for pc

these are my spec

Intel Pentium D (Dual Core) 3.00 GHz With Ring Heatsink Fan Cooler
Intel D 945
2 X 1Gb Kingston DDR2 RAM @ 667Mhz
Nvidia 7600 Gt 512 mb stock cooler.
400w local PSU
LG Optical Combo drive CD/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD
2 X HD 160 Gb SeaGate 7500RPM
Apocalpyse X400 MOD Case with 2 Aftermarket Fans
Windows Xp Pro SP2 Genuine Validated.

Now I see both them old.
help?

[ayush002]

well, in ma openion u shld go for pc upgrade..

[bilalarc]

OK

but First I hav another question to N95 8gb owners
Does your n95 8gb slide runs loose or stay good all long?

[sam_1710]

welll the build quality of the n95 8gb is too bad... The slider starts to wobble slightly, but doesn't "run loose"
The paint on the volume, camera and gallery keys gradually peel off..

[moshel]

yeah go for pc upgrade...i dont suppose N81-N95 would make u have a ground breakingly new experience as much as upgrading ur pc will.

[choicefreedom2000]

There is ovast diffefence between n95 and n95 8Gb. the difference is only of memory. N95 8GB becomes sluggish. I think among these n82 is better.

[bilalarc]

I hav heard that the new firmware v20-v30 removes many halt sluggish bug from n95 8gb, and makes it more stable.

Reason I asked the question is that my n81's front navi wheel starts to rip of the silver paint from a side, and some scratches on the back cover. Thats why i wanted to know more info what to do. friend of mine told me to get a new mobile, as I prefer slider design so N95 8gb get into my eyes.

Question for N95 8gb owners,

1. Does your mobile reboots what the v30 firmware update, is it more speedy, stable?
2. How many month use makes the slider wobble?

change ur mobo, if u want something cheaper then go for the Abit IP35-E...or any mobo u choose based on P35 chipset.

I dont think the 400w PSU will be able to handle a 9800GT.

[yogi7272]

even with ver 20 firmware, my n95 8gb was very fast with no rebooting issues .. with ver 30 the situation is improved a bit ..its a bit faster now .. and the slider does wobble a tiny little bit ..not a huge drawback ..i am just using it for the last 20 days so, long term effect is not known ..

[bilalarc]

Ok thanks alot everyone.


now I am planning to get n95 8gb this week and pc upgrade next month.

Can anyone give me a list of good performing mobos p35 and p45 in a list so that I could search for one of them.

NOTE:- 1.In my area abit mobos are not available.

2.Intel, Asus, Msi, Nvidia, Gigabyte mobos are alomost available.


thanks again

good choice.. am a happy owner of N95 8gig... but for the lack of camera lens cover

[choicefreedom2000]

This is up to you what do you want to use in your mobile phones both are similar except memory .If you are looking for more capacity of memory then n95 8GB is better but there is no card slot while in n95 there is expandable memory. I think both are alike. just browse http://www.blueunplugged.com/c.aspx?c=39978 and see which one to be owned?
