Friend offered me his Nokia N95 - Page 2

3G has always been known to be a battery hog and the gps I'd imagine would make things even worse. My N70 didn't have gps but with the 3g turned on the battery got battered.

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on an K850i as that has 3G and it'll be interesting to see how that performs.

Same here but then i am a confirmed Sony E fan boy when it comes to mobiles. Nothing will do for me except a Sony E

Got it now, charged, and debranded (no more orange stuff) and it seems to be wonderful.

It's not as laggy as some people suggests, and hasn't crashed on me yet

The screen is absolutely amazing ! So bright and clear, and the ability to play videos or view photos on either portrait or landscape by just sliding the screen is cool.

I am going to put it through its paces this weekend, will see how the battery fares and what its like using it daily.

Here is a quick pic

It is a nice phone agreed, but do you not find the lack of assisted slider is weird?

Mondo · 29-09-2007, 15:16

using it now to type this, online is great, tons of features, wonderful screen but you guys are right about the battery. I've charged it again already. That's with about 3 hours online with the screen on all the time. Hope there will be a bettery out soon, then this phone will be perfect. Because i just can't believe how much this thing can do.

I'm sorely tempted to get one of these now on my O2 upgrade rather than wait for the K850i to come out in a couple of weeks...

Oh the dilema!

not seen th k850 i but it'll take a hell of a phone to beat this for features.

LeperousDust · 29-09-2007, 19:53

Features wise the phone has everything you'd probably really need, apart from it being truly quad band etc... (i think) and xeon flash (getting picky!). But it's still huge, and a little slow and has a very medicore battery life. Thats what i'm hoping the N82 will fix (when it's out, they last mentioned Q4 this year, it's now looking like its Q1 next year).

But it's pushing phone tech to its limits, and bleeding edge always has its drawbacks, as people who have been/are interested in tech we all know this first hand probably!
