Thread: Planning for n95 2gb or 8 gb??

HI PPL.. I AM PLANNIG TO GET A NEW CELL PHONE.. NOW .. SO LIKE I THINK I WILL GO FOR N95.... LOOKING TO ITS HARDWARE.. TO OS CONFIGURAION.. WITH ACCLEROMETER.. WIFI ENABELED.. 5MP .. BUT BUT BUT... WHICH ONE?? I MEAN DONT U THINK 2GB IS ENUF FOR ALL THIS STUFF??????????

OR SHUD I BUY 8GB?? ITS COSTLY.. BUT LIKE 8GB.. WHATS THE USE I FEEL!!!!!!!!!! ANY1 HAVE ANY IDEA.. IF I CAN PUT SOMETHIN LIKE 4GB MEMORY CARD AFTER I BUY N95 2GB? I THINK IT WILL PROVE ME CHEAPER......


ONE MORE THING I HAVE COME ACROSS.. HEARD THT N95 8GB HAS A 8GB HARD DISK IN IT.. NOT A MEMORY CARD... CORRECT ME IF M WRONG..:001_tt2:

Hmmm. N95 is pricy - 8 gb or 16 gb. But if you intend to purchase it anyway why not wait for the N96?

The 8 gb model also features a bigger screen than the 2 gb model. It might contain various other improvements over the previous model as well. The phone is just awesome!!

IMO u shud either go for 8 gb or wait for n96 like just4kix said.

I think N95 2GB will be sufficient to handle all ur needs, why to waste money in 8 GB one.
N95(normal) price have been slashed, now its availble for as low as 17k.

Wait for N96. It is a kick a$$ of N95.

will N96 be launched this very year??

i didint find somethin special in n96... not like tht.. but has any1 got its deep review?????/ from hardware to os.. to the speed procesors and all.. plz dont tell ossom just coz u can see tv in it.. lolz.. tht facility india wil launch when i will have kid....loolz,, m 23 right now... no plans for marrying till 26 and later no baby.. suddenly plz. from tht u can guess when online tv in india network will be there.. providing...

go for n95 8gb its awesome ..........am using the same piece 24000 is its price .......in mumbai

If your willing to spend money on a cell phone then you might as well wait for the N96, as many others have written in this forum.

well... aneesh can u plz tell me exact price u brought and when u brought?
i would like to know the difference between n95 2gb and 8 gb.. it seems later has bigger screen.. is it correct?? tell me properly if u know all difference betwen them.. like form screen to ram.. 8 gb is inbuild phone memory?? or it appears as just like memory card?? heard its 8 gb HDD in it??

@milan, After an afterthought, I think that 35-36K for a cellphone is a criminal waste of money. And you will get tired of the deivice in 2 years anyway. You can buy a decent laptop or a kick-ass desktop for the same amount.

But it is your money.

@others, when I said to you, invest 10-12K in original software, many of you started howling that "we are not rich like you to spend so much on software".

well kixxi.. i agree. with u... but i m planning to buy it..not just using it as a cell phone.. i wanna have it.. for use.. like,,, 1st of all i dont have a digi cam.. so like 5 mp will serve purpose of it.. i know compared to digi cam this is nothing.. as it comes 10mp digi cams.. but i prefer everythin in 1.. i know my thinkin is not right.. but.. frankly telling.. i am a cell freak.. (i have hacked nokia os)..:14:basically its like am attracted to cells.. i was taking pics with 3.2 mp cam of n73.. but then like now since prices are coming down.. i felt like buying.. n95 2gb is for around 18k (i brought n73 for 18k before 1year!!!)...

another thing.. i find my lappy very boring ... to on it.. using internet and all.. i have wifi.. at home.. wanna connect it with cell.. this is my second use.. this led me thinking.. that if i will use wifi on cell.. i might need 8gb..so confused..

now.. beyond tht.,, further.. music player with 3.5 mm jack.. is quiet handy for us.. like u can add head fones,.. will realy enjoy nice quality of sound..

on top.. there are certain features tht i was attracted to it.. when it was launched... like acclerometer... and its basic os... is so nice.. with more ram.. tht it cant be compared with the price it can be.. for 18k..

may be u and many ppl wont agree with me.. and many ppl agree with me.. i dont know but its like i told u my thinking.. abt it...

now as far as applications and os goes.. buying.. it.. as i said.. basically i am a doctor.. so least use of computer... on top.. apps for me is like i rarely keep any app for 2 months max... i get fed up of it.. as i am not gonna earn money from it.. so makes me bored as newer latest ones comes.. and after all when u get evrythin cracked for free.. why to waste money... lol... i know u are also right form your point of view.. like if data losss.. any damage ,, licenced officially brought os or apps makes their way. but as in my case.. it will never..

welll thats all... sory for this big lecture.. lol if any 1 got bored of reading it!!!!!! :clown::clown::clown::21::21::21::21:

Hi all,

What would be the market rate for an used N95 - with 1 GB card that is 8 months old? One of my friend is selling it and is asking for 10k.

Thanks,

Mathan.

So Tooth Fairy did you get your new phone and which one did you go for?

The 2 versions of the N95 and 8Gb has a lot of differance in their OS. The 8Gb one is much better to use.

The biggest difference is:

1. It has 128 MB RAM. Double than the old one. Makes it faster and leaves 95 Mb of memory after booting

2. It has a BL6 Battery ( Better ) than the old one. Longer talk time.

There are a lot of other differences but these 2 really make a decisive difference.

I hope this helps.

thanks anshun n jazz ya i accept there is a big difference b/w n95 2 gb n 8gb

You probbably missed my reply in chaat thread.

This iphone youve got is it 3g or the older version? if its the older version you wont be able to get that broadband speed when 3g will be launched in a few months.... thats if you like using your phone for browsing and all that or use it to connect your laptop to the net.

He is right ( as always ).

If the iphone is 3g then, the price is right.

I hope u do a lot of browsing otherwise the phone U have is useless. I mean, iphones are made for browsing and it is its greatest achievement, so, If U dont use a lot of browsing then, the N95 8Gb was a much better option.

i will do browsing.. as i get used to it.. and will u ppl plz tell me how to check whether my fone is 3g or not? as far as i know all iphones are 3g only.. u ppl pl tell me in more proper way...

andd right now also m using net thru iphone via my wifi.. so u ppl tell me is it my 3g or not?
if not 3g than wat is it called/?

If it's not 3g then it's 2g(or just E).
g= generation (2nd generation, 3rd generation, etc)

The iphone when it was first launched was not 3g enabled and the one which was recently launched is 3g... even in UK 3g iphone has just been launched a few months ago although UK has had 3g networks since 2001.

Wifi is different and gprs is dirrerent and EDGE is different and then there is 3g which gives you broadband speeds... and then there is the baap of all 3.5g which has speeds of more then 7mbps vodafone UK provides 7.2mbps.

In Delhi 3g is going to be launched by MTNL on the 11th of this month.

With a 3g iphone you can make video calls and browse at broadband speeds when 3g comes to your place whcih is only about 2-3 months from now as bsnl will be launching 3g within that time.

The best way to find if its 3g or not is to read the model no which should be on the box or read the booklet...

ya tht i know but line now i got the phone dont know now whether its 3g or something else so how to figure tht out? i checked out the internet .. all reviews of iphone 3g only... cant find something like iphone 2g or normal model.. so i think iphone is 3g only.. i dont think there are different models in iphone except 8gb n 16gb which varied according to storage capacity!
