Been using one for the last month or so. I think most of you will be impressed. WLAN and GPS are power hungry, but apart from that it grew on me very very quickly. The screen is nice and big, with excellent contrast. You must remember to have the slide open when using the GPS, otherwise the sensitivity drops a lot. Although it seems bigger than the N80, it actually feels lighter (but not cheaper).

Yey got my N95 now and £30 M & S Vouchers. Even after using the N80 for half a year makes me go WOW using this phone (N95). Leave the video camera and still camera at home when you go on holiday now, all you need is your N95! Still gob smacked at the quality watching video's recorded on my phone via the TV using TV out on the phone.

Can anybody confirm that with using the GPS are maps streamed to the phone, so effectively you have to be connected to the internet to receive them? Especially in city centres?

Cheers

It certainly seems that way and to be honest i am not at all impressed with the map software.
I have put tomtom 6 on it now.
Perhaps i have been spoilt

But surely the tomtom sw requires a separate BT GPS module?

I wish I got a free nokia n95, you lucky people, Ive been waiting for this phone for ages. I noticed that theres a few shops at nokia-n95.co.uk that have the n95 in stock, i thought it wasnt out till April? Do you think if i order one they will despatch it today or wait till next month? Carphone and phones4u website still says coming soon, surely they would get them in first wouldnt they?

Most suppliers should get them today, many expect to be to dispatching to customers for delivery tomorrow.

BTW: The maps can also be downloaded via WLAN, so you could do them at home, and keep them stored on your mem card.

The fact it pulls the maps of the internet is a dissapointment, but everything else with the GPS is great, i used the voice commands to guide me while driving yesterday and was good. Just a shame it kills the battery.

Once they are downloaded they are stored on the mem card (assuming you have space,a nd have set aside enough space in the app), so they only get downloaded once .... since you can download over wlan beforehand it shouldn't make much difference.

Tomtom Navigator 6 works 100% but you have to use an external gps.
I have used the built in navagation today and it works well but i have been spoiled by tomtoms wonderful interface so i am going to use that

N95 should be with me next week !! Can't wait .....

A couple of questions ...

I've heard the bundled mapping software is no good ... is that right ?

What's the best Sat Nav software to use with the onboard GPS ? I've heard good things about Co-Pilot live.

Would the mobile Tom Tom work ?

Any help gratefully recevied.

Thanks.

I'm waiting for mind, it's on the way on Tuesday, got it from Foneplanet. The on board mapping doesn't do navigation unless you pay and it's quite pricey. All maps need to be downloaded either on wifi before trip or over air, but only need to be downloaded once as old routes will be saved, depending on storage settings / max size to store.

I'm also looking for software that can cope with internal GPS, apparently tomtom can't yet. If anyone has found any that works, or knows more please let us know.

Vodafone should be calling me tomorrow to offer me a great deal on 12month contract so cant wait. Been waiting for N95 for about 7months !!!. The only issue ive heard of so far with GPS is people complaining they cant connect to the Satellites but majority of people are ok.

Yeah most GPS dongles would be stuck right at the front of the dashboard, where as your phone is normally closer, can be a little bit of a problem.
