Nokia E65 or N95

Minstadave · 12 Jan 2008 at 12:17

Just about to buy a new mobile on 3 and have been thinking of:

E65
Mix & Match 500
X Series Silver

That comes to £26 a month.

or:

N95 8GB
Mix & Match 300

Thats £30 a month.

It seems a bit criminal not to get the N95 with the X series add on, so that'd take it to £35 a month, which seems like a lot more than the E65 considering I get a lot more minutes with the E65 too.

Would I notice much difference between the two? I know the N95 has GPS (wouldn't use much) and loads of space for music but I'm more interested in mobile email and skype/msn which I believe the E65 can do fine.

Any opinions? Any other deals I've missed?

Another question? Does the X series silver deal include unlimited internet? Because its the same price as the internet unlimited package but its not clear what it includes.

thinking of the same deal as you was going for, in the end i went for the e65 and iam not a fan tbh.. its slowish, crashes abit, and the software just feels abit.. clunky, however for the price difference, i would still go for the e65 tbh, its only a phone...

N95 is light years ahead... but that tariff seems very restrictive.

The buttons on the E65 are horrid for txting.

I'm tempted by the standard N95, apart from the memory is there much difference?

Bigger screen and better battery I think..not much else has changed.

And a far better build quality (the slider is quite bad on the original N95), The N95 8Gb has full flash support ie youtube.com, plus the N95 8Gb looks so much better.

3 have as yet still not released their version of the latest firmware for the e65, which is still quite buggy from what has been said on the nokia forums. To be honest as well it looks like nokia have given up developing firmware for it as well seeing as the e66 is due out in the next few months.
