New phone

[Citizen Smith]

I need/want a new phone, I'm down to choosing from Samsung G800, Nokia N81, and a Nokia N95 8gb version. I've heard that N95's were troublesome, but is that still the case ?

Any input, opinions and experiences please

Anyone considering a phone should check out gsmarena.com.

My preference of those is the N81, but it's best to try what's out there and see how you get on with it.

I've had the N95 for about 6 months now. It has loads of features which were quite exciting when I first got it, but to be honest I pretty much just use it for calls and texts these days.

If you're going to properly make use of whichever phone you get though, the N95 will sort you out. Symbian OS so LOADS of installable apps to be found, 5MP camera, wireless, Skype pre-installed, GPS and sat-nav (though GPS is a bit buggy, and sat-nav costs extra), loads of other things. Battery life's a bit crappy though, especially if you're using the wireless function. Just have to make sure you charge it every other night.

Edit: Don't know how much of that applies to the 8GB version though. They might have put a better battery in.

can get tomtom for symbian of the t'internet which costs sweet fa :devil::slayer:

they have put a bigger battery in N95 8Gb so it is far better now, however i would go for the N81.

Satnav's free with N95 if you get the right contract and it's better than Tomtom if you live in an area Tomtom just can't cope with/ doesn't like (which happens to me a lot).
