free n95, 500 mins, 250 texts, 5mb data for £25/month. i carried my insurance over as well so its a total of £30/month.

from what i've read/heard its a pretty good deal even though i had to sign a dreaded 18 monther (i might as well have sold my soul to the devil).

what tarrifs have you read/heard that will beat this considering it was several weeks ago now?

I got offered 300mins and 500 texts but no data for £25 from Orange. Turned them down though. MIght jump up to £35 and get something unlimited :-/.

Still can't decide on the phone, though.

yeah like i said- they aren't free yet but they will be soon. when all the new data allowance charges come online that is.

they're also doing an unlimited day rate of £1 for 24hrs which is handy if you know what you want on a given day.

i guess we wont know untill we've had experience of the new prices...

dont know about official payg but i've seen it on websites for £399, thats about the best offer i've found. why wouldnt you just get a contract though?

I've been wanting an N95 since i heard about it. Was thinking of getting one when my contract runs out this August.

I was in a shopping centre earlier getting the missus a new DS game and called into the carphone warehouse. Damn that phone feels flimsly

Build quality feels terrible!

Ahhhh, are there any other new phones coming out with 5MP Camera + GPS?

odoliam · 22 May 2007 at 11:07

I just changed my product code and updated my phone to the latest v11 firmware. Not noticing much difference yet except I now have internet telephony (damn Orange!) and a more responsive camera

Yep, I used EURO1 product code, updated it using the standard nokia update tool and then changed back to my Orange product code (Doesnt do anything but just incase I have to take it to Orange and forget I've changed it).

You can check your firmware version by pressing *#0000#

I did have internet telephony settings etc all there but then I restored all my settings from my memory card and it has loaded back all the Orange software (including taking away internet telephony again) - but it's still running v11 firmware so the camera is faster etc so better than nothing!

When I have time I'll redo it properly and just backup my contacts/msgs and configure the phone myself so it doesnt restore EVERYTHING orange sets.

Devious · 23 May 2007 at 14:08

I take you did the backup to memory card then restored it after flashing ? This post put me off doing saying it messed your phone up.

After flasing & before you restored your backup it, had all the orange animations ( like when turning on ) dissapeared ?

What part of the telephony doesnt work for you ? Ive managed to use fringe msn on mine but not tried a VOIP call.

Sam · 24 May 2007 at 22:39

Anyone else find that internet seems to open itself , i meen it dosent open on the phone as such but when i hold the menu key to close progs its sometimes there evan if i havent used it
