User experience of Nokia N95 (GPS build-in) ?

[viewfinder]

Saw the full page ad on this new GPS build-in phone. Anyone who has used it, care to comment on:1) its GPS feature (ease of use, reliable etc)?2) Nokia's tag line for this phone is "It's what computers have become." Can one use it as a PDA as well for example as compared to BlackBerry or HP IPAQ 6965?3) samples of the photos taken with the CZ lens? I wonder how good the image processing chip is they have inside.Thanks.

its nice!!! i've had it for a week liao....

the camera takes a bit of getting used to.... cos you have to toggle some of the settings which you will get familiar with...

here are a couple of photos taken with my n95:

the GPS is somewhat slow detecting signal, especially v-kool tinted cars. other than that, it does mostly what the GPS is supposed to do.

havent tried using the pda functions yet... to be seen.

Have been reading about the N95 since last month. Loved all the features and the looks as well. Was afraid at first that it will turn out to be a BIG disappointment like the N80. So far, feedbacks from a friend or two seems quite good. The price is a killer though but in another month or two, there will be a slight reduction, as confirmed by my hp seller friend.

Ah Lian, thanks for the sharing. Some of the earlier N-series are known to have hang issues (Symbian OS incompatibility with the new ARM hardware?) Looks like N95 got all that straighten out.

The pic taken were probably not with the max resolution (5Mpixel)... I guess that does not do justice to the N series.

Typical V-kool problem again huh.

the GPS is quite alright.. if you're in the middle of nowhere.. it really shows that you're in the middle of nowhere...

 

[ah lian]

ha ha ha ha ha!! yeah!! and the fox hole is in the middle of NOWHERE!!!

my n95 does not have "hang" issues, for now anyway.

will go play with it a bit more. i had assurance from a fren working for one of the importers, who played with the phone for a while. it does look and feel nice. very glam.

I bought N70 not even six month now many other better models out, felt left out already so sick but we gila and how much we use the functions there, even my kid also change HP like changing baju always wanted the lattest as though money grow on trees.

cool gadget to have for bling factor, looks more like a camera than a fone.. gps works but like got alot of lag. i think if you want to use as gps nav..better buy stand alone like garmin..also the maps are free. nokia one have to subscribe. used it(nokia) in subang the map ok lah but very slow..in melaka only shows the main roads..also the batt sucks need car charger all the time.not worth the money. lucky it wasnt mine to begin with!!

The GPS functions is slower compare to dedicated GPS Unit like Garmin

Not really helpful when you want to find your way ie Naidu place for example as the map provided is not very detail also. It lag so using it in the car is not so easy
