got one at work now as yet another test phone (i have a draw of about 50 mobiles)
Worst phone ever!!! The build is appalling, it feels cheap and nasty. Its a huge phone with a massive mirror on the front (its a flip phone)
Within 10 seconds of holding it, it looked dirty, finger prints show up really bad! (then again i was eating a lolly pop)
humm wonder who is the target customer of this phone ::)
Roll on the iPhone which i should be getting soon :)6

Ahhh the i-phone... let's see if you think more highly of it than many others... :-?
Have to say my N95 is bl**dy wonderful and has not given me a single problem so far (firmware update is essential). Battery life is not great but aside of that all is good. :y
-
we have 3 N95's.... great phone. Poor build lets it down... even with the firmware upgrade it still crashes.
-
6230 here (not the i). Like it well enough. Want the iPhone without the phone. Would carry it around occasionally as WiFi iPod, wouldn't carry it around daily as a phone. (Yes, I have seen several in person.)

Most of the Symbian Nokias seem to have flakey software. Makes Windows Mobile look miles ahead...
Nokia firmwares (all) do not seem to get same testing they once did.

We have loads of 6230i's
the i is a good upgrade! :)

As you know, Mrs TheBoy and I both have 6230i, not that I use it, favouring Windows instead.

Don't know what it has extra, but I don't miss anything. I have to say that playing the radio or MP3's through the loudspeaker was great when I had that J-reg 214 with no radio (got rid of that 2 years ago).

Nothing of consequence - better screen, more pixels on the pointless camera. Best bit is the joystick is improved.

better firmware and an O/S upgrade too... but the joystick improvement is the best.

Still dog slow, and buttons too small.......

are these phones yours to keep and do with as you please or do they belong to the company?
if so, can you get a nokia E90 to sell to me unlocked and sim free for less than £421.66?
-
Well for anyone not liking the N76 throw it this way.. I will put up with it.. :D ;D ;D
-
Yeah, Tunnie, any spare phones, esp Windows or decent Symbian ones, pass my way ;)

I love 6230i's great phones although we do have 2x Sony erricson K800i's 1 Nokia n91 ( WORST PHONE EVER FOR CRASHING) and an 8800 Sirroco but i just use my old 8800 or my good £50 investment a samsung E250 the k800i's are my son's and the mrs. the 8800 and 8800 sirocco and e250 are mine.

I personally love the Nokia N95.
Brilliant phone apart from the build quality (rattling slider, crashing, front slide gap between screen etc)
I think windows mobile takes alot of getting used to for the normal consumer.
I must admit though , i cant wait for the iphone. Seen one in action and the speed and quality of the graphics is unreal. When you flick down in contacts the rendering is better then some pc's

N95 is a little bulky, even more so than my Windows phone. Bit too unreliable for me though - patience isn't my strong point ::)
I used to use a iPaq, so the Windows phone makes perfect sense, and its integration back to my email is far better than anything else available.
Its not perfect - mine is a WM2003 device, so if the battery dies, game over. Later WM5 or later overcome this problem.

Sprite backup, schedule a daily onto storage card and your working again in about 10 mins if it dies.

Not an issue for me - I take ad-hoc backups occasionally using the supllied backup tool, most data is contacts, calendar, email etc, all of which it resyncs against my Exchange server, so never really loose anything - possibly the odd TomTom location etc...

Tonygnome has my old M2000 and its saved him a time or two. Can be set up to backup if battery is getting low IIRC.

Agree, reasonable little util - but due to the fact I can restore and resync (even when out and about) within a couple of mins, really not an issue for me. Mine, being spv m500, lacks memory, so only has installed what I consider vital :y
