    Do you have a link for this? Someone I know has an N95 and would really appreciate an upgrade.

        It's available on the nokia website.

        I got my phone unlocked when I was having an "extended lunch" in London once. They also debranded it. Only charged me a tenner too.

        When I got back to the office I downloaded the "Nokia Software Updater" and downloaded the newest firmware. Bobs ya dad.

        Runs sweet with the real Nokia software on. The difference is astonishing, it's like a different phone.

          That's exactly what I did but without the 'unlocking', mine still runs like a dog so I guess it's the unlocking that makes the difference ?

          It's branded Vodafone BTW.

            Yeah, you need to get that branded junk off it.

            Most mobile shops will unlock them and they'll usually de-brand as well if you ask nicely! There are people on eBay doing return by post service, but I guess it depends on how much you trust people!

            The "branded versions" of firmware are usually a few revisions behind the "normal" nokia firmware too.

            I promise you once you've got the latest regular firmware on, you'll be blown away!

              Cheers for all the comments. I'm still tempted to go for the N95 but will try to get the newer 8gb one
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                  SonyEricsson w810i is superb (no 3G though) - I love mine.

                  Just got a Sony Ericsson w960i and putting it through its paces. So far .... I love it !!
