    An N95S was released some time after the N95, but I'm not sure how they differ apart from the fact that the N95S has a lower-resolution camera (than the N95's *5* megapixel camera) and may have GPS (unlike the N95).

    I think they're planning to bring out a touch screen version at some stage.

    edit: I just remembered, apparently a lot of fake N96S phones are currently in circulation. So it's best to buy from a reputable source and not some dodgy Ebay seller!
    Are you sure you've got an N95/read the manual? They definitely have GPS built in (an ex-colleague had one from launch - with a 5MP camera). The latest version of the N95 has 8GB of storage.

    I really miss my blackberry as the mail and phone are much better, but the iphone is a great gadget and if they sort the phone at the next software update, it will be a great phone! with an upgraded phone and push mail it will lead the market. wasnt worth £280 that i paid, but i would say is worth £180.

    just be warned, it might not be compatible with your car adapter should you have one. it doesnt work with my stereo that is designed for ipod. i was tempted within first fortnight to take it back, but stuck with it.

    i do like it, a lot. there just seems to be a few buts!!!
    I'd say you downgraded...

    I love the interface on the iphone, but I couldn't live with a few of it's shortcomings, so I have a blackberry for phone and email and an ipod touch for music/movies/webby stuff - I love it. The only fault with this setup is when out of wifi range, I can't surf on the ipod.

      Thanks for the heads up Tony.

        Wrong! 3 are charging £423 for the 8gb version of the N95 - this phone is better than the original n95 as it has had a lot of the bugs fixed. It's battery is better also. 3 are also more expensive that say phones for u.

        Yes, the N95 with 8Gb was what I referred to as the N95S (and after doing some digging, I'm no longer sure this model name exists outside my imagination!) Also, Moscow Mule is correct about the built-in GPS.

        But all that will soon be irrelevant when this little beaut is released!

        P.S. One or two reviews also bear out what Churchill said about the N95 being a bit fragile for some.

          I've dropped my N95 from my top pocket onto both carpet and lino with no ill effects.

          I like the browsing experience (especially 3.5G), the "rotate me" (automatically turns the view on its side a la iPhone) feature and the MP3 playback seem good. I don't like the poor FM radio (IPhone doesn't have one though).

          I like the look of the N97, so will probably upgrade next year.

          (edit) looks like the N97 is a fake, boo (/edit)

            This is probably quite accurate on when the N97 will be out...

              When looking for a new phone I demand the following feature list:

              1/ must be able to take calls
              2/ must be able to make calls

              It's just a phone FFS!
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                Can it be portable?
                Or would you rather stay in the house with it?

                  Many people demand more from their mobile communication devices these days -if you don't may I suggest http://www.retrobrick.com/

                    No I've never been on a site where I can't get access to webmail, getting excited about mobile phones is very very sad as are people who sit around playing with them.
