exactly. Mine rarely crashes as im running latest firmware. You need to expect slight hiccupps with it, due to being such a complex piece of kit, but mine only has 1 fault with it. The headphone port is intermittant. Which nothing to do with the software, and everything to do with the fact i volleyed the phone when i was bored one day

Default n95

I was with 02 & they tried everything to talk me out of buying the n95, I got a contracrt from phones4u & got a unlocked one & the phone has never let me down once, I have tom tom on it & it is just an excellent phone. My wife has had a 850i, a samsung d900 & a sony z610 and all have been sh*** and have been sent back . I dont know what the problem is with the phone shops telling people the n95 is not a good phone.
I was in the phone shop the other day & apart from getting the 8gb model there is nothing that is better at the mo.

Just my opinion of course but this is the only phone in the last 4 years that has not crashed on me.

Mine has been spot on. Had to replace several ear pieces due to filling them with metal swarf but it's been fine other than my own fault.

Never had the message problem. I've never known about it either and I know a few people with N95 phones.

Problem was solved.

My N80 got the lastest software Lee. It was as stable as any other phone I have ever had after the last update. After that, it was a really good phone. Could have just done with auto key lock.....

Got sick of mine Daz. I aint got time to keep sending my phone to be fixed etc. Like i say, ive got a nice simple Nokia now and its fine. After 2 months or so the features of the n80 were all exhausted and i used it as a basic phone anyway!

Still keeping it as a spare...

If you're on V21 then it's up to date.

If you're not, then you need to debrand it before you can upgrade it. Follow this link and read it carefully.

Garmin as in Garmin XT

as i have that installed too, and its fooking shite

as you cant set a destination with just a full postcode, unless i'm missing something.

tomtom is MUCH better and easier

only thing that is good with the garmin is the ability to use the internal GPS
