The N95 Saga

Not just because Jonathan's blog's comments are broken, (see Reasons the iPhone is going to clean the N95’s clock), but also because this is the phone I've been eyeing up ever since my N80 started doing what everyone else's appears to have done.

"But I thought you said the N80 was great, Al?" I hear you cry.... Hmmm...

Where do I start? Well, the battery is pants. No matter how hard I try to condition it, it really doesn't last more than 2 days max. And if, like a few weekend's ago, I take lots of pics, send a few texts, and call a couple of people, it lasts 8 hours :-O Then there's the odd way, randomly, it locks up after 4 rings of an incoming call. Or, more recently as I've mentioned, not receiving text messages for up to a week after they've been sent, "You coming down't pub, Al?", err, no, coz it's now Thursday, and last Friday night was 6 days ago :-(

On paper it looks like the N80 with all the bits that didn't make it into the N80 design, and so make the N95 work. But I've heard too many stories that suggest otherwise. So, after being bitten by the N80, I'll wait on feedback from users of the N95 before I make the move. And besides, I've just found out from Orange I'm on contract 'til the end of the year, so there's plenty of time before I can afford to anyway ;-)
