I prefer the LED flash tbh. The Xenon one on my K800i annoys me as i cant use it as a torch, and in 99% of scenarios, doesnt do any better at lighting a scene than my old W800i with its LED flash did.

you have to be joking...

every now and then it misses and produces a dark image (colorimetry probably) but take it again and its as good as a compact digi cam...

Best thing about any phone to date imo...

for a torch just use the screen easily as bright if not just download a little prog which uses the red pre flash light as a "torch" problem solved

No where near as bright, and the red pre-flash thing is a waste as a torch as well.

They are up for pre-order from a few places. Waiting till O2 website has them in stock as they offer better tariffs.

Shall I take it that this phone as an upgrade wont become avaliable for a while??

GuruJockStrap · 15 Mar 2007 at 14:23

Might be available but you'll get quoted an absolutely uber high upgrade fee. Obviously depends how much you spend per month.

Looks like i'll be sticking with my K800i for a bit longer :eek:

Sexual Chocolate! Now which network/channel is getting it first?:

The Nokia N95 will hit the UK market in the second week of March.

Distributors are expecting their first shipments of the device to arrive on the 7th, meaning it should filter down to dealers in the following days.

The N95 is Nokia's most highly specified phone yet and could be a means for Nokia to retake the agenda in the contract market, after a period of Sony Ericsson domination.

One distribution source told Mobile he had pre-ordered 2,000 units and that it was attracting a 'huge amount of interest' within the channel.

The UK is expected to have a two week exclusive over the rest of Europe on the N95. Nokia declined to comment on specific dates.

That means there is no way Germany had it in Febraury, right?

Not on general release, no. You can get the N95's but these are for review/buyers.

I was looking on there yesterday. I'm trying to decide between:

Orange £35 month (500 mins/500 texts) - phone cost £89.99 or

O2 £35 month (600 mins/500 texts) - phone cost £109.99

Remember with o2 the phone is less likely to be branded and more importantly will most likely be unlocked

How you tried doing an upgrading? Someone on another forum has been quoted £130 on a £35 per month contact.

Really? Ill give it a try then

Also what I like about 3 is I can use my slingbox on it..however I really dont like 3!

For anyone on Vodafone and for some reason wanting to stick with them they gave a very rough estimate at between £80 - £110 for an upgrade on a £30/month contract. They did make it clear the prices aren't definite yet though.

I want to move away from Vodafone so doubt I'll go for it but it sounds pretty good seeing as most contracts are £35/month to get the phone for that price.

I would be shocked if its anything less than £200 on any deal less than £40 per month, Vodafone are known to be the most expensive of all the networks.
