Am thinking of getting rid of my PDA (O2 XDA EXEC) and getting something like a Nokia N95, is this the best to go for at the moment?

Also has TomTom been hacked so it can use the in-built GPS inside the Nokia yet?

Is remote desktop possible on it? If so, how usable is it.

Bearing in mind ive been used to a VGA screen for ages with full qwerty keyboard, its gonna be a bit of a jump back!

i have a 6300? and thats cool... full internet as far as i am aware and it has a button i push and gets all my emails for me

Mr.T

Nokia is always good. Why want satnav on your phone? I had it one and removed it and bought a tomtom

Stu.H

hehe, yeh cant beat the nokias with no functions, less to go wrong and more sturdy.

Unfortunately I need it for wifi, bluetooth, satnav, web browsing, emails, msn, office documents viewing and editing and hopefully remote desktop...

oh and Im glad I can use the TV out to watch whatever is on my PC hard drive on any tv in the world

S2martin

what the fuck do you need it for all that for man???

I just phone and text

Stu.H

phoning and texting only is just for girls

I went from a XDA Exec to a Sony P1i and its a great replacement, touch screen and qwerty keyboard

S2martin

notice i never phone/text you then

Stu.H

Thats a GOOD thing IMHO

Not sure if it has but even if it has I wouldnt use the in-built GPS cos its crap TBH. I use a Holux GPS unit and it works perfectly with that but in the three months I've had the phone, Ive got the in-built GPS to find sattelites twice

Apart from that I think its a great phone.

Wait till the N82 comes out.
This will be ideal for all you mention including SatNav.

I am waiting a replacement of my N73 but wabt a phone rather than a ruddy PDA phone thing.

Stu.H

Yeh I have the bluetooth Holux gpslim 236 at the mo, awesome bit of kit..


Will google it now

Stu.H

n82 looks like the puppy...

Job Done

Well, I went and bought the Nokia N95, quite a trick bit of kit isnt it..

Already changed product code within 4 hrs of having it and upgraded to V20 firmware (then changed prod code back )

Nice and fast after using my XDA Exec, no crashes or hangups, audio is excellent, GPS locked on after about 1 minute.

Just waiting for my 2GB MicroSD to arrive off eBay, then I will install TomTom and try my external GPS receiver on it. Although might try Route66 and see what the internal GPS is like on it.

All in all, a nice breath of fresh air after the massive PDA

Stu whats the build quality like? the last nokia i had totally put me off nokia's because it was just built so poorly, it honestly felt like it would fall into bits if i was to drop it on a hard surface, it was a slide phone so i guess that made it worse.

Stu.H

Yeh, the N95 is a slide phone, its very light, but does seem fairly sturdy.

Prolly worth checking one out in a shop mate

I think i will be going for the N95 when im due a renewal.

Im still waiting for the 8g on T Mobile

Just ordered the N82 from Car phone warehouse on o2.
Get it on saturday so will do a mini write up then if its any good.

Stu.H

Yeh I looked at the 82, spec wise, there wasnt much difference

L33 BYT

Im not a fan of flip or slide phones, Im a bit of an Oath, so it would get mullered in weeks.

Still N95 looks a good all round phone

James998

I'm stuck deciding aswell, ive got a 6233 atm and its a great phone but when i break it (which I will) I definitely want another nokia and thinking of an N95 on contract so i can use the proper internet wherever I like!

Opinions on it?
