I prefer SE.. but dont mind Nokias too.
I've to buy a new phone... chose 3... the N95 8GB, W960i or K850i.

N95 & K850i for their direct imaging & music capabilities. Of the 2... N95 might b more useful... but K850i is cuter & lighter.

W960i is a great multimedia Symbian touch-screen phone... with a 3.2 megapix camera & 8GB space. A great combo of both the above phones & more... xcept for the 3.2mpx camera & duller look.

I go for looks & quality.

What should i go for among these three... very undecisive of the three....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
not out here... i'll get it from outside...

aks_win... i already got the 7.2mpx 12x optzoom prosumer... Sony H5...

I'm not uber-rich but dont compromise on my desires :D

So... N95 8GB? I'm thinkin to cheat on my SE :D
Can any1 divert me from the SE... what does N95 8GB have more :D

I wd side with the n95 8gb or the n81 8gb... more so with the n81 8gb..
if u dont want a touchscreen then go for the n95 8gb ...
if u dont want a good cam either (as u already have a digicam)then go for the n81 8gb..
the w960 has a 3.2mp cam and no EDGE..also no symbian app support...
the n81 is touted to be the next ngage.. and is said to hve the loudest sound in the current gen fones...
btw all three are yet to release.. so i wd suggest that u wait till they release and see the reviews b4 getting any 1..

It has a symbian os but a different UI.. so all the nokia symbian apps wont work with it.. it does have specific apps but they are very less in number...

Frankly speaking, nokia is more uesful in work and software extentions and SE is good at taking photo and music playing.

Dude,3.2 mp camera is enough.Also it's a walkman phone and a good upgrade from your W800:D,if cam really matters then get N95 8gb:p or K850i.

cam & music quality both matters...

and i need the best out there... these r the nominees.. i want an audience poll :D

Hey.. the N95 has usb port too.. does that mean that i can use it as an 8GB portable drive too?

Is it directly pluggable & read/writeable... like flashdiscs?

Yup @ kooly.. You can use the fone in data storage mode as usb drives..
tho the speeds might be a lil less...
also if u r a GPRS user u might be disappointed as w960 doesnt have EDGE..
btw both n95 and w960 are awesome fones..

If u can financially afford a w960i,then go 4 it...
You wont have to regret...it seems a gud fone.​

wireless internet is also priority.. the faster the better....N95 has 3G, GPS, HSDPA, Bluetooth, A2DP, Infrared, USB, WLAN, right... W960.. no? Then N95?
What's the use of HSD... & A2DP... i'm kinda layman here :D
Pathik
Pathik #34
Sep 9, 2007 at 2:16 PM
yup.. maybe.. in n95 u ll also get a choice of 5-6 browsers and chat clients and download managers..
but w960 is a better multimedia fone.. n95 is a all rounder..

@koolbluez-A2DP is useful if u want to listen songs via wireless bluetooth headset.For eg:the headset which comes with moto rokr is a wireless one.I think instead of that you invest in a good wired headset.(Bose or creative EP630)

Sep 9, 2007 at 9:56 PM
Hsdpa is a 3.5g tech wich offers speed upto 3.6mbps.. Forget it in india.. A2dp is a profile used to stream stereo music over bt to wireless headsets.. U can get the moto s9 or nokia bh 501 headsets..

Yup, U won't.

But 3G & is coming to India soon, so u won't miss anything. If you are going for N81 tehn my recommendation is to save money & go with harddisk less version & then add memory card as u need

I know it has flash memory but it is not about Flash or moving HDD, its about "HDD" which increases the cost.

ok.. ok... n95 8gb... data connectivity... GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA 1.8 Mbit/s/HSDPA 3.6 Mbit/s

Data Transfer
  • WCDMA 2100 (HSDPA) with simultaneous voice and packet data (PS max speed UL/DL= 384/3.6MB, CS max speed 64kbps)
  • Dual Transfer Mode (DTM) support for simultaneous voice and packet data connection in GSM/EDGE networks. Simple class A, multi slot class 11, max speed DL/UL: 177.6/118.4 kbits/s
  • EGPRS class B, multi slot class 32, max speed DL/UL= 296 / 177.6 kbits/s
  • GPRS class B, multi slot class 32, max speed DL/UL= 107 / 64.2 kbits/s
so... faster internet... N95 8GB?

Sounds great with good headfones.. But w960 sounds better..
Btw people wit normal ears like me arent able to make out the diff..
I cant distinguish between the sound quality of a 5700 and a w580i

N95 8GB is awesome...no reason why you should skip it...
GPS navigation is something you will get addicted too once you have it....
N95 lacks the touchscreen else its perfect.
