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..

just4kix

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

StarK

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.

Chinmay

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.

Priyatam

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

Dragon

will N96 be launched this very year??

Mr.Tooth Fairy

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...

aneesh2k7

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

Preeti_20

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.

Mr.Tooth Fairy

look at my previous reply... as i said for n96.. i will buy after i will have kids.. so tht i can enjoy all facilities they offer..

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??

just4kix

@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)..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!!!!!!

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.

Preeti_20

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

Mr.Tooth Fairy

Mathan.. 1st of all.. n95 has 2 versions as u know 2 gb n 8 gb.. how u got the phone with 1gb card? is is like your friend removed 2 gb card from it and put 1gb n gave it to u> : eek:

anyways.. money we can think is according to duration of usage n the condition of phone n warranty if it has.. so update all the details..

new 8gb n 95 comes around 24 grands.. 2 gb is i think production stopped.. so u think n decide...

post your phone's detail.. can give u more idea.. if possible..


hey preeti.. yippie i got iphone 8 gb... m very happy lets see.. hows the fone.. will update after using it.. its completely new for me right now.. so will get familiar 1st..

Jazz By The Bay

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.

Mr.Tooth Fairy

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.
