New N95

Idling on WLM for 1hr 10min is 100KB which equates to 20p, fair bit considering I wasn't chatting to anyone...
 
Has any one got one of these ?? and does it work on Linux, can i just plug it in and it see's the internal and card as extra removeable storage ?!?!?

The N95 supports USB mass storage mode for the memory card. USB mass storage isn't possible for the internal memory card because of the way USB mass storage works.

Well I am not too sure what to make of this, but I am sure there will be more tests done on the battery:

Yes, regardless of which wireless connection is chosen, be it 3G or WiFi, the Slingplayer is a battery killer for sure. A fully charged original N95 will only play live TV through Slingplayer for about 60 minutes before the battery breaths it's last breath.

The N95 8GB is a much stronger contender in the Sling Arena. A fully charged N95 8GB streamed live TV over WiFi for just over 200 minutes, a massive improvement and one which starts to make the N95/Slingplayer combo a real solution, rather than just a snazzy tech demo.

and here's a video on the phyiscal differences:

I question that battery review tbh.
A small bump in mA and a few OS optimisations dont provide a 3x increase in battery life im afriad.
I'd wait to see a more objectified review/verdict before i decide on one.
hopes the battery life is as reported above though...:p

lol - I agree! I have no idea why no one is reviewing the battery life - its really important.

Ah yes, very nice.

The back of the N95 8GB has been redesigned, with an extra millimetre or so of depth allowing the use of the BL-6F, rated at 1200mAh. This would appear to give 25% extra battery life, but in fact extra optimisations in the OS (and possibly the use of demand paging) mean that the real world increase is closer to 50%. Although this isn't exactly capacious, the use of the BL-6F does mean that very few people will exhaust the N95 8GB's battery in a day, even if they try quite hard.

Exactely!
I wanted the original N95, but its battery life put me off.

If the new 8Gb model has battery life something like my TyTn(both with 3g off), then im sold.
But the claims of 50-100% increases are a bit hard to digest.

Doing what though?
General usage? Standby? Heavy usage?


I'd like to see a review where they are really stressing it.
Like how long for video playback, video recording, streaming. constant txting, gps usage. And then a general one, where they are all combined.


Are the likes of T-Mobile or Orange gonna get this 8Gb model does anyone know?

It could well be out with the others, however they have a problem with Nokia's Ovi platform - so as yet its not confirmed.

I rang the premier team today and they told me they have no plans at the moment to carry the phone.

Of course, how much weight you lend to that news, considering it came from customer services, is debatable.

Orange's loss I suppose! They will be missing out on some great Nokia Q1/Q2 phones.
 
Where were those release times/dates from anyway?

Just a quick question about VF, is their VF Live service still free to use?
 
I got the dates off a few forums, but basically Voda have an exclusive until after Christmas - so no sim free or other networks until Jan. Orange havent confirmed they will be getting the 95 8Gb.
