Lol, is this thread the reason for the story on indymedia about editor selling out?

It's not really a 'story' though, is it?

It's just some lying twat making up ridiculous bullshit in the hope that some people would be gullibile enough to dutifully spread the muck to see if it sticks elsewhere.

Incredible, the n95 sold 7 million units according to this piece. Never really realised it was so successful...

Nokia are a bunch of cunts. Their phones suck donkey cock. The N95 is made by poor Third World children so young that some of them have the assembly parts fed to them inside the womb. Oh, and the name 'Nokia' means "We Heart Nazis" in the secret dialect of Brevarian. They're also part of the New World Order and have caves full of trained baby-eating owls.

You've clearly had a better offer from Sony now!
 
Reading that piece I linked too above it looks like Nokia trying to take on both Apple and Google...should be an interesting year ahead phone wise.

Hey, I'm just posting on my Logitech diNovo keyboard to say what a great day it is today, but I've got to go because my Citizen Eco-Drive watch tells me it's time for some Twinings Earl grey tea with Alpro Soya Milk.

That's only because I leant over to pick up the box of M&S super frilly knickers you ordered. The classy sheer nylon and stylish cut I'm sure will look lovely on you, and at £14.99 they surely represent the lingerie bargain of the week.

I had a good go with a N95 8GB a while ago. Loved the functionality. Loved the media player, GPS and maps. Hated the lack of touch screen and that slide-out keyboard.

yeah that's what's always dragged me back tot he tombstone sized universal... too :(
 
Haven't really mourned the loss of the touch screen, but then the WM OS is so shit compared to symbian that it's hardly surprising. The keyboard is very good, I get on better with a numeric than a tiny qwerty, but I suppose that's down to what you're used to.
 
Odd that it's only got the res of a low end Nokia - i.e. 320x240, same as the 6300 - which is 40 quid. Lower res than that cheap new Palm, and half the res of the iPhone. Probably trying to keep the size down I guess.
 
You gotta dig the spec sheet:
Just to put this in perspective, folks: Nokia’s N95 phone, released at around the same time as the iPhone, outsold its rival by 2 million units at the end of last year (6 million N95s to 4 million iPhones). Its successor is about to his the market, and it’s loaded. The much anticipated, and much rumored, double-slider N96 Multimedia Device has finally been unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Designed as a video powerhouse, the N96 includes an integrated TV tuner, a stunning 2.8 inch QVGA display, and a clever kickstand for setting the device down for viewing. It also has more memory -- 16-gigabytes of memory for up to 40 hours of stored video (with a microSD slot for even more memory). With Digital Video Broadcasting-Handhelds (DVB-H) capability, the phone can tune in to live TV broadcasts aimed specifically at mobile phones (right now, only available in Europe, alas).

Much like its predecessor, the high-end N95, the N96 has Carl Zeiss Tessar lens with a 5-megapixel camera and DVD-like video by recording at 30 frames-per-second. It also has UPnP, which means you can easily play back your photos or videos on your television via the included TV-out cable.

Unlike the N95, the N96 is optimized for on-the-go video games as well, with dedicated gaming keys on the second slider panel. This will come in handy since Nokia recently launched its N-Gage gaming platform, which will feature dozens of titles, including EA Sports FIFA 08, Asphalt 3: Race Rules, Snakes Subsonic, and for the gambling junkie the World Series of Poker.

The N96 is crammed full of other cutting-edge features, including assisted-GPS with maps, Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi, High Speed USB 2.0 connectivity, FM radio, dual-LED flash (for photos and video), a secondary camera for video calls, and the ability to surf the Web/transfer data and talk on the phone at the same time.
Pricing and availability are to be announced, but it's likely the device will come out in Europe first, then make its way to the U.S. in unlocked form for T-Mobile or AT&T.

It does look really good.

But I hope they have improved the battery, when I had a Nokia N80 I used to have to charge it every day.

My friend had the original N95 (not the 8GB one) which was just as bad.

Battery technology really needs to improve in mobiles, the feature sets are moving forward at such a rate, that the battery is the weakest point in the chain.

Indeed, the battery on the N95 8GB is about 1.5 days. That said, I've never needed it to last longer as I have a charger at home and at work.
 
That's the trick isn't it.

I remember when I first got the N80 and the charger connector was half the size of the normal Nokia one.

That really pissed me off because we had about 3 or 4 of them in the house, there was an adapter that came with it to convert the old style chargers, but that soon became lost.

It was annoying when I went abroad that the phone kept dying, but I probably saved hundreds of pounds in roaming charges. :D
 
As Bees said lack of qwerty keyboard alongside lack of lens shutter, battery life means instant fail for me.
