N73 ME Or N95?

Hi all, new to this so apologies if this is in the wrong section?
My question is basically which is better, The N73 ME or the N95?
The 5MP camera looks very tempting but heard of a lot of bugs for the N95 so not sure whether to get it or not.
Any comments welcome guys!

If you want the N95 functionality in a N73-style - check N82. It might be off-topic for you, but I personally like N82 (and I hope it to be my next phone after the N73). Also, in case you like it, you might need to wait few weeks for it to be freely available world-wide
A nice review:

N73, N76 or N95 - Which is better suggestion

My usage will be mainly Music and Messaging and few calls.
So i will be looking on for better battery performance. Currently having 6300 which drains in 3/4th of the day.
How can i check which battery will have better backup on wat basis can we decide.
thanks in advance.

These three devices share little in common. Depends on what you want to use it for.
The N73 has better battery life.
The N95 has a lot of features no other model has.
The N76 is slim and pretty, but otherwise a very basic smartphone.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Backup for N73 restore to N95

Hi ,
If i have a backup for N73 using Pc-suite , can i restore it to Nokia N95 8Gb .
Many thanks,
Talal

Hi Talal,
I strongly suggest NOT doing that. The back-up contains device specific content and settings which might affect your N95 8GB if you did a restore.

Why nokia is not implementing VOIP in Nseries..?

hi,
i think nseries is a very good option for all mob lovers and users.
but stil nokia is doing the old and tricky marketing.
they anounced only a few phones with camera wit above 3 mp.
and they did nt release any Nseries wit VOIP.
Whats your opinion....?
nokia should implement business features into atleast some of the Nseries phns.
like N73, N80 and N95...

AFAIK, Nokia is supporting Gizmo Project. The latest version of S60 devices is available at Nokia Beta Labs (http://www.nokia.com/A4403822).

E61 daylight savings sync time out

we have just changed to DST here in NZ. I've installed the world time clock updated but upon sync with ms outlook all my appointments are 1 hour wrong. Outlook has the correct setting and i've done a factory reset on the e61
please please help

We have an N73 and an N95. Our problem is not with the sync to Outlook but with the world clock (everywhere is 1 hour out). Called Nokia helpline and was told that they're working on a patch they would not give an indication of when the patch will be released. Just said keep watching on their website.
We also have problems with recurring appointments. I have problem with appointments in the first week (ie between 30/9 and 6/10 only) but my partner appears to have problems with recurring appointments that have been edited within the series.
Unfortunately there isn't the option to manually change the timezone to GMT+13. Nokia suggested selecting auto update from network operator but that did not make any difference. So it looks like there isn't much one can do but to wait for the patch.

N958GB PC Suite SMS

I have just upgraded my N73 for an N95 8GB, I have also upgraded the PC Suite to the new N series PC suite. The problem I have is that I can't work out how to send SMS messages via my PC - the PC Suite help tells me it is loaded automatically but I can't seem to find the icon in the software. This is a feature I used all the time with my N73 and the previous (standard version of PC Suite) and will be gutted if it is not available for the N95 8GB. I have tried to load the separate Nokia Multi Media manager but this does not seem to be compatible with the N Series PC Suite. Can anybody help me get this feature - Many Thanks

YOu have to make sure you have the standard Nokia Pc Suite 6.85.14.1 installed, then open PC Suite (of course connect phone also to PC) - click on the envelope icon in PC Suit main view (NOkia PHone Browser opens and should open to your phone view and to messages subfolder i your phone.
Then on the picture panel in the middle of the Windows Explorer/Nokia Phone Browser view (assuming you have widows explorer settings so that you have selected "view folders" view, in the picture panel in the middle there is an envelope butoon, click on it to send an sms.
(check also PC Suite help, it explains also about how to send the sms's)

Sequence / interval mode in Noia N73 and N95.

The camera in my Nokia N73 has a sequence mode where it takes 6 pictures in a sequence.
I read that Nokia N95 has a similar mode where you could set time between pictures and number of pictures that should be taken.
Is there any software I can load into my Nokia N73 that gives me the same functionality as in the Nokia N95?
I want have a sequence/interval mode where I can set time between pictures and number of pictures.

I'm afraid thats not possible...
Also,n73 Sequence mode is useless...It never works!
I've tried 4~5 firmwares! but it never works!
Just takes random shots and shuts down!
Its given me anywhere from 2~9 shots...very Frustrating!

Transferring from N73 to N95

Hi
Can anyone help me. I got a N95 last week, and some how I managed to delete folders in it!! I was trying to delete my music which wouldn't play. Any way after speaking to Nokia my music now works, but I can not get my contacts and messages to transfer from my N73 to N95. I was trying to transfer them by blue tooth. I have tried so many times now. I also don't have a cable to connect my N73 to computer to do it that way. Have I deleted something that I shouldn't have. Can you tell me how to transfer my contacts?
Thanks

a simple way to transfer things is to use the " data transfer" application found on your N73 to send data to the N95 through bluetooth. as i believe the app can be found under tools or utilities.
if you have sync your contacts with a computer , you can sync again and let the computer restore you contacts back.
another method which is lengthy is to use the memory card:
1- Make sure your memory card is inserted in your old phone.
2- Launch Contacts application and then select Options | Mark/Unmark | Mark all. It will select all contacts you have on the phone.
3- Copy all the contacts to the memory card by selecting Options | Copy | To memory card.
4- Now you have your contacts in the memory card. They are stored in vCard format under \Others\Contacts folder.
5- The next step is to transfer your vCard files to the new phone. If your phones use the same format of memory card, for example Mini SD, it is much easier. Simply remove your memory card from the old phone and then insert it in the new phone.
5- What should you do if your phones use different format of memory cards, for example one is using Mini SD and another one is using RS MMC? You need to transfer the files using memory card on your PC. Copy all the files under \Others\Contacts folder from one memory card to the other one.
6-OK, now you have the memory card inserted on your new phone. Launch Contacts application then select Options | Copy | From memory card. It will import all the vCard files from the memory card to your Contacts application.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

N95 - likely to be as problematic as N73?

Hello all
Just wondering whether you people think think the N95 is likey to be as 'buggy' as the N73. Just interesting to know as many will rush out and purchase the new handset, when in fact it may be better to wait a while till any problems are identified and sorted.
As with many here, i have been quite dissapointed with the N73. Certainly not upto Nokia standards!

Nokia was considered as leader in stability with best of phone stable on network even if signal was weak.
But today in the race to release new phones with latest features competing with Sony, Samsung & LG, Nokia has missed ensuring that the basic feature works. A phone is a medium to help people connect, but today that is the least important function in Nokia.
I feel Nokia should concentrate on its best feature and then enhance other functions, All my friends on Sony have never complained about there phones. Infact since I was a die hard fan of Nokia, I decided to upgrade to N73.
But today I feel I made a major mistake not just because of the faulty phone, but due the approach of Nokia - India on responding to problems.
Surprising I have been given responses which surprise me;
* Replacement cannot be provided since you did not bring the phone back to shop from where you bought it in 48 hrs
* Replacement cannot be provided since you gave the phone to a Nokia Care center in Bangalore instead of Mumbai, but the Nokia Care center did not mention this as a problem while accepting the phone
* We cannot give the phone back on priority, since it is being repaired and tested. I am surprised what better testing facility they will have compared to Finland or Factory of origin
* If you insist on taking the phone early your warrnty is void
* If I try contacting anyone other than Nokia Care, they disconnect the phone or mention they are busy and the mail box for escalation is full as no one is reading any mail
* Even an email to Nokia - Customer Cservice representatives has not invoked any response....
I am surprised that Nokia is not worried about retaining customer base, I feel they are more than happy that people should accept that there are problems and we have to live with them or move to other brands.

My N95 review

It’s almost a year now that I was waiting for this magnificent piece of technology, I mean 5 megapixel camera, 3.5G, WLAN, S60…what could you ask for more? Surely the N93 turned heads with its twisting and turning but this baby did more than that.
So let’s see my first impression after I opened the box…it looked exactly like those ads we see everyday on the highway or on the internet, only smaller and better looking.
I saw a huge screen with QVGA resolution and 16 million colours, 13 main keys including a joy-pad, a stylishly placed camera popping out of the housing, a speaker, and that infamous Nokia N sign.
On the right side of the phone I see something that reminds me of the N73, not just the colour, but those blue backlighten keys. Up and down, gallery, autofocus and camera buttons and also a “chrome” speaker grill with 12 holes.
On the left side there is another speaker grill and a special 3.5mm jack of which I will speak about later, it also has an infrared cover and the microSD slot, very nicely built on the cover and easy to remove.
On the back we obviously find that awesome Carl Zeiss lens 5 megapixel camera with DVD recording and a powerful flash and even a stylish shutter. You also find the battery cover, which contains a BL-5F 950 MaH battery, same as the N93.
The top part has simply a ON/OFF/Profiles button while the bottom has a charger input, a miniUSB port and a microphone.
The phone is very thick, 21mm. We can compare it to the massive 7710 but its quite light for its kind, especially without the battery. The weight is 120g, it’s 99mm long and 53mm wide.
The main keypad feels weird for people who are used to Nokia’s soft keys. The soft keys are still there but they are made real thin as there are Menu and Multimedia keys next to them, so if you’re not careful, you will press the wrong buttons but eventually times cures everything.
Time to slide the cover up and uncover an ergonomic keypad. This keypad is rather small for such a big space, but it’s not an issue, because the keys and modelled in such a 3D shape that it’s actually comfortable and pleasant to play with them. There is a line dividing the first row of keys from the rest, I don’t know why though. The GPS module is under the # key and the lock slide sensor is in the middle of the first row of keys. There is sort of a wall that looks like a cover of the phone: between the keypad and the cover there is a big space and you can rest your fingers there, quite nice and stylish I would say.
The keypad lightning is done very well, there are lines of blue light coming between the keys when it’s dark and it gives the phone that futuristic look. The lightning of the LCD is also done very well, a very bright screen but still a perfect contrast.
This slider phone got something I’ve never seen on a phone of its shape: the base is huge and the top slide is thin as a needle. But moving on to the other slide, I notice that when opening the slide, it makes an ugly and loud voice, oppposite of when closing the phone. Turning the phone on the pther way, activates the landscape mode. They multimedia keys on the left side of the phone aren’t keys, they feel like a touchpad, you can’t see them, they are flat, a stylish manouvre and an ergonomic choice, they are also blue backlit. When turning the phone to landscape mode triggers the multimedia menu which can be customized, and pressing the play button activates the music player. The screen’s rotation is quite fast and it doesn’t usually crash.
And then, there’s that camera shutter. Just like in a proper camera, sliding the shutter down activates camera mode, even if the keypad is locked, and only this way the right side keys will light up.
What to expect from this Symbian OS9.2S60 V3 with FP1? Oh well, looking from the past this OS seemed to be advancing to an extreme, possibly outlining Windows itself! But no…9.2 isnt that great unfortunately, perhaps I’m owner of a young version of it, my phone has v10.0.0.18 on it, and it behaves quite well in general, although no AGPS or FOTA on this version yet.
On the waiting screen we have that old S60 GUI with the active desktop, WLAN status, shortcuts, operator, signal, battery, clock and the selected profile. We head to the menu and see the 4x3 assembly with animated icons or the choice of list view. There are 3 folders: tools, applications and office. There is a little tool called Search and was built in conjunction with Windows Live, some marketing from the Microsoft guys I guess. There’s also a Maps application which I will talk about later.
When you enter Settings you can see everything much more organised and clear, more functions, practicaly everything is connected to the Settings program, even the Themes.
The GPS Data application tells you the Latitude, Longitude, Precision, Altitude, Altitude Precision and Speed, and on the other tab you can find averages and bearing (compass). Then there is the actual maps application. You must have your country’s maps installed, as in doesn’t come with every country, unfortunately most African countries aren’t there which is bad for me as I’m somewhat an explorer. Another disadvantage is that voice navigation is costly. You can see roads, petrol stations, define and save places with the application. The search button doesn’t work well as my searches always return no results, and the GPS takes quite long to startup. The latest firmware version (12) offers Assisted-GPS but that will need some sort of internet connection. The voice navigation cost 106$ for 3 years.
The web browser is very advanced, letting you open different windows, offerring minimaps and a mouse cursor, quite lovely. It also plays Javascript and flash animations.
The music player improved a lot, let’s you search for music, shiws album art and has fantastic visualizations. It has 6 predefined equalizers and you can change the settings on 5 of them. There is a modern multi functional headset device of which I will talk about later on.
In the Office folder you can find a Zip application, I wonder what does…There is also a Video Centre application which streams/downloads videos from different sources like Reuters.
When it comes to connectivity, the N95 is king. Starting with Bluetooth 2.0, transfers at full speed and up to 6 devices at the same time. Followed by the old infrared system, and then the ever-growing Wireless LAN, which let’s you easily access internet and join networks. Unfortunately you cannot create networks with other phones.
Then there’s our lovely HSDPA or 3.5G. Fast browsing and downloading at 1.8mbps, just awesome. If that doesn’t work, there’s 3G, EDGE, and EGPRS which is an advanced class of GPRS.
There’s also a miniUSD port which when connected with a cable provides Mass Storage, PC Suite, Media Player and Image Print options. Of course Mass Storage won’t activate if you got a theme or an application running from the memory card.
As I said before, I would like to especially talk about that 3.5mm jack on steroids. Normal jacks offer just a two channel input or output. This one has 3 channels, both input and output at the same time, which is a wonderful connection by Nokia, I haven’t seen it or atlease noticed it anywhere else, so for me, these small details count a lot. This special jack helps with the audio controller and also makes way for TV-Out. It can be used normally and connected to stereo systems.
Now it’s time for the camera, it offers 0.3mp, 0.8mp, 2mp, 3m and 5mp resolutions. There are options such as: capture mode; flash option; timer; sequence mode; light compensator; white balance; colour tone; ISO sensitivity; contrast; and sharpness.
Video mode at 640x480 30fps has options of mode, white balance and colour tone.
What was really missing here is optical zoom as its digital zoom is unfocused. The front CIF camera works poorly as it’s only for video calls.
The flash is very powerful, in totally dark situations, it looks like daylight, especially indoors.
The sound on this device is great, 3D Stereo speakers offering a loud quality music output, even as a loudspeaker for calls it behaves perfectly. Unfortunately the included stereo earphones are really soft, so you might have to get a new pair. The memory card included should be enough to store about 300 songs, it’s a 1GB. The music can be converted through PC Suite, but this phone supports most music formats so it won’t be necessary unless you wish to change the bitrate.
Now any phonehas faults, and the N95 is no exception: the lights on the multimedia keys off during music playback, not nice if you are driving at night and want to pause the song as you won’t be able to see the keys. The battery doesn’t last long, 950mah is very light, and if the default screen saver isn’t set to an acceptable time range, the phone will die very quicly as the screen consumes and extreme amount of electricity. If you use the phone moderately, let’s say for internet and music, you will end you charging it every night or so.
The top slide isn’t assembled properly, you can see some cracks and openings on the sides, and white light escapes minimally, this tells us that the phone is very fragile.
The sildes makes a huge noise as I said before, this problem doesn’t exist on the competitors, and Nokia failed there.
If you have a third party 3D theme running the phone will considerably slow down, especially on typing.
When playing Java built games, the phone’s battery lasts long enough, but when playing SISX games that push the powerful Graphics IC to its limit, the battery drains quite badly.
Java applications all drain the RAM very badly and the phone crashes if you try to multitask, making me restart the phone, and that can get irritating for heavy users like me, as you will have to restart 5+ times per day.
The phone comes with a good audio controller for earphones or an external audio output. The controller features a microphone, a 3.5mm stereo jack, a holder, a security key lock, volume up and down, answer button, play, forward and backward buttons.
The provided earphones have an extremely short left ear cable and a long right ear cable which is not very comfortable.
A TV-Out cable is also provided.
Advantages: 5mp Carl Zeiss camera with Autofocus; DVD-like recording; Powerful flash; loud speakers; 3.5mm jack with 3 channels; HSDPA; GPS; S60 OS9.2
Disadvantages: Weak battery; GPS takes long to startup; OS is still young in some aspects.

N95 Bluetooth connection with car

I drive an AUDI A6. Before I got my N95 I had a Sony/Ericsson i800. When I connected this phone with my car (Bluetooth), everything can be done from the car environment such as lookin for phonebook entries, selection of entries, dialing etc.
With my N95 I can connect with my car and I can use the hands-free speeking system ... but only this! I can't read any phonebook entry, calling list etc.
Is there any trick to open the phone directory for use in bluetooth mode?
Best regards and thanks in advance.
Sunni

Having just bought a new Audi A6 Le mans 3.0tdi quattro Avant - I was keen to find a solution to this bluetoth/phonebook problem. I too have the Nokia N95 and can confirm that the above link works 100%. Firstly you need to have Nokia PC Suite installed on you PC & phone .. then download the application and save to your pc. With your phone now connected to your pc.. download the saved application to the phone... [ make sure bluetooth is off and not paired to your car ]
Once installed on your phone - go to your car & connect/pair via bluetooth.... go to applications and run the application. It took a couple of minutes "processing " .... then switches to " transferring " ... again a minute or so.... Job Done.. My phone book is now integrated with the car and the MMI.

Problem with N95 Desktop after upgrade to 20.0.015

Hello,
I upgraded my phone's firmware to version 20.0.015 this morning. Before starting the update, I had backed up the phone's memory to my memory card. When the update was finished, everything worked fine until I decided to restore everything from backup, to ensure that I hadn't lost any of my settings/contacts/messages/etc. Ever since I did that, I have been having trouble with my phone's desktop. All of the things that are supposed to appear at the top are gone! ...there's no clock, no operator, no meter for the battery or signal! All I get where they used to be is a thick white/blank bar. So there's my wallpaper and a big white empty bar on top!
I have tried different skins, wallpapers, etc but they won't help. I have also tried going to "Settings> General> Personalisation> Standby Mode", but the option "Active standby apps." is missing... The only two options are "Active standby" (which does nothing -- throws me back to the desktop/standby) and "Shortcuts" (which is used to define the left and right selection keys)... so there's nothing I can do through the "Standby Mode" settings either! I have even tried reverting to "Factory settings", which again didn't fix the problem (though I have to say that when the phone restarted, I did see the things that go on top for a split second).
Does anyone have any idea on what I should do to fix this problem? I am starting to lose hope...
This is my device's version/model data:

Well, there's a work-around but you'll need to spend some time. To get all your data from the Memory card:
- Restore the phone from the Memory card (might break it, though)
- Use PC Suite to make a partial backup (Contacts, Notes, Calendar, Messages but NO phone-settings)
- Reset the phone to get rid of the broken top-bar
- Use PC Suite to restore the Contacts, Notes, etc.
This solution will take some time and it is possible that you cannot backup from the broken phone and/or restore to the newer firmware, but if you have no other options to get all your contacts back, then it might be worth a try.
Also note that messing with phone memory might corrupt the phone...
