I'm glad I read this review because I was wondering if the N95 could be used as a modem cause I'm planning on getting that along with that N810 internet tablet when its released.

The folks at wirelessimports.com didn't know if it could be done or not but they sell the phone (they have the cheapest price by the way $609)

Regarding twisting Blake's arm for a free version of the SlingPlayer, twist no more: Sling (Echostar) has made a distribution deal with Nokia, and the SlingPlayer is available with a free license for the N95. Works great, too. I also love it on my HTC Tilt, but that'll cost ya $30.

I think you can just navigate your N95 browser to the Sling site, and download it from there.

I'm a fan of the N95 for many reasons, like media, camera, aftermarket software (like Kyte and Fring), and the browser is an absolute dream -- but I just can't get over the lack of a keyboard AND the lack of a touchscreen. A 12-key UI? Unless you're a 20-something euro-kid, that's just not enough.

I've got a roller, a keyboard, a D-pad, and a touchscreen on my HTC Tilt/KaiserII. A smartphone needs smart I/O. N95 nails the O, but poked out their I.

I noticed yesterday that the NokiaUSA.com has been updated to include both the N95-3 and N95 8GB in their product listings (http://www.nokiausa.com/A4546020 and http://www.nokiausa.com/A4513448 respectively). However, a quick scan through the specifications on both devices reveal that the 3G portion is 2100 MHz! Do you have any idea what is up with that? You think the product information is simply incorrect? I’m anxiously waiting for this…

You're not really making an internet call when you call with Fring since it's thru their software. You must have incredible ears to think that there is any quality to a Fring call on Edge..but anyway I would like to know why the N95 blocks Edge for SIP calling..I saw a preview of the upcoming US 3G version and the reviewer said the same..could not get truphone to connect with 3G.

Osho,

Yes, I "sideload" all my maps to avoid network usage. The Nokia Maploader software is able to download maps state by state, province by province, or country by country into your memory card.
The signal once locked on is good. On firmware 12, the lock on times with AGPS (Assisted GPS) is consistently 20-30seconds. Without it, it can take 1-4 minutes for a good lock. Once locked, the tracking is about +- 15 meters depending on the number of satellites. I've navigated using the tracking option (shows you the route and your position but no voice guidance) and was able to find my destination accurately.
Not sure since I have not paid for navigation. But reviews and prices from people who have used it say it is very affordable. You can get 1 day, 1 month, 1 year or 3 year plans.

My question is OM mentioned a more powerful processor, is this true?
