N95 on Orange

[Marwood]

I thought that I would champion the requests from other forum members to have a thread dedicated to the N95 on Orange. It seems that this 'tradition' began with the N80 and was very 'popular' for some considerable time. LOL

Any news on an exact release date bjh?!

Marwood. :)

Spoke to Jo at Orange CS this morning. She checked the system and it showed no release date. Not even listed for review at the moment. She commented that the N serries had had alot of problems (really!!) and that perhaps Orange would let it go generic and then keep an eye on the phone before branding. I went through the motions of telling her to check out my experiences with the N80 but I pointed out that my present one was fine. She put this down to the fact that I have my packet data switched to 'when needed'. Suggesting that this had a big impact on performance. She is still using a 6680, believing that the N serries is a great idea but flawed. I sugested this was down to RAM. Wonder what the actual RAM of an N95 will be? will it be enough to support the phone properly or will the N95 be another example of 'Nokia work in progress'.

[bjh_101]

Yes, most of it is RAM problems. If Nokia spent that bit extra on putting a bit more in, they would sell many more, as the main complaint that puts people off them, is that they are just a bit too slow, and crash a lot!

As for Orange, do you mean they won't release it until they see how it performs on other networks etc? Or that they will release it themselves unbranded. I personally hope for the latter. I like the little Orange logo on the phone, but everything else they do to it is a waste of time and money.

When do you think it is suitable to start bugging Orange CS everyday?! ;)

(oh, and Marwood, did you really phone Orange just to ask about the N95?!

[bavlondon]

Yes ram has become a problem with Nokia phones of late. Infact RAM management on v2 firmware, as on the E61 and E70 is better. All S60 3rd Edition devices should really come with at least another 32MB of RAM.

It would only cost Nokia a bit more to manufacture and would have saved them a HUGE amount of R&D in terms of trying to work round the RAM paucity in software.

I am not certain how much base RAM the N93 has but free RAM has been a problem.

Having said that apparently the CPU speed is higher in the n95 than the N93 so it may well have more RAM.

[bjh_101]

After reading this: http://www.3g.co.uk/3GForum/showthread.php?t=48463 about the N73 on Orange, things aren't looking good for us peeps wanting the N95 on Orange :(

[mobieg]

i have seen a picture of the n95 in orange livery from the orange partner camp in the summer in spain.

[Marwood]

Well, yes I did ring Orange CS about the N95. I'm sure they were expecting me to bother them about it at some point! LOL.
I'm not clear exactly what Jo meant about generic N95's but I suspect she means that Orange will wait to see how the phone performs on it's release through Nokia retailers first. The upshot of this could be that where the N80 was released relatively promply by the network there could well be even longer delays before it could be released. CS will no doubt use this as their well worn rhetorical excuse in the months ahead. Indeed, Jo's comment could well be doing the ground work for this type of gibberish. Remember It we knew about the release of the N80 before CS did and it was a week or so after that when the Birkenhead shop became aware that it had gone on sale. A visit to the Birkenhead shop yesterday suggested the N80 has run out of steam......it wasn't on display anymore. Sadly, I did not have the time or the inclination to ask the staff.

Again, from Orange's perspective they will be looking at the demand for the N95. Will it be able to generate enough new buisiness for them to take it up warts and all, like the N80, or will it just cause more problems and disatisfaction, leading to a loss of business if they just run with it??
Perhaps we should all start hounding CS, requesting a release date......that would signify at least some customer interest.

Orange will blame Nokia, Nokia will blame the network....whilst secretly knowing their programmers have had to cut the odd corner to satisfy the sales and marketing team's deadlines for release. More RAM vicar?

We have all been here before........just a little bit of history repeating.

[boozer]

Just to go slightly off topic, o2 is showing the N95 as coming soon in March...So that will be July then...

[bjh_101]

Don't worry, this topic is likely to go off-topic several times before the N95 is released... ;)

Anyway, its good to see that (hopefully) at least one network will be getting it so either Orange will have to follow suit, or we can all move to O2!

[DeniseR]

It is supposed to be released Q1 2007 but I read somewhere (cant remember where), but it was a reliable source that it had been pushed back to Q2. I was stupid with my N80 in taking up an 18 month contract. Been on my account today as I'm only just over half way through my contract to see how much an upgrade would cost me. I was surprised it was only £100. I had expected it to be loads more, but then I do use my phone a lot and am always going over and I am on Panther !!!!!.

My N80 died and couldn't get it replaced by Orange as they no longer stock it and was not happy to have a refurb so got another Nokia, not 3g unfortunately. They had nothing I wanted.

[DeniseR]

Marwood, generic means it will be as nokia made it with their firmware on it and will not have orange firmware/branding on it. It could also mean it is not sim locked. My Mum had one of the 1st 6280's which had no branding on it and was not sim locked, later ones were orange branded and locked to orange

[stevierides]

hi, i will be surprised if orange miss out on the n95, i'm sure they will brand it with their own rubbish firmware which may or may not foul it up. judging on how orange have ditched other n series, it may never make it to the orange range.
the future's bright. i turned the light on...

Unless they decide to leave it alone and leave it with the generic firmware on it.

[bjh_101]

Unless they decide to leave it alone and leave it with the generic firmware on it.

Memories...

This thread appears to be going the way of the N80 on Orange thread did before release with much speculation, debate and prayer that the N80 wouldn't have a home screen. Thankfully it didn't!

Again, we can hope that Orange will release generic, or at least very little branding on the N95. If they even release it at all that is...

*bjh gets on his knees and starts praying to the phone gods.*

P.S. I am glad I only had 12 month contract... I can upgrade early anytime from Feburary onwards, so its just a case of waiting for the N95!
By the way my upgrade fees currently are £150. I spend on average £40 per month. But only £25 of that is actuall minimum tariff.

It would be interesting to find out if all these problems on the Nokia phones are caused by networks adding their own software.

Does anyone think it would be possible to do a poll and ask people using handsets bought sim free & therefore without say Orange's extra little bits on?

[bjh_101]

Well some people can compare phones before and after flashing with generic firmware.

I can deffinately say that the generic firmware is much much better than the Orange one. However, this is not strictly a fair comparisan because the Orange firmware was v3, and the generic is the new v4, where Nokia made improvements to the memory management.

Additionally, the only extra bits Orange put on the N80 was the photography application which could be disabled. Considering it was Orange, the N80 had suprisingly little branding.

[olly_g]

Hello All,

I was one of the many waiting on the n80 last time and get very good deals from oranage along with the hand sets when they are released.

Just spoke to upgrades and they havent got a date on the n95 at all as they are having problems with the n series phones (we all know its because they rape all their memory hungry softwar on them)

He said end of the month there should be some more news of whats in review, as at the moment it looks like just PAYG phones.

I might move away from smart phones, the n76 looks nice and not over crowded with features?

[bjh_101]

The N73 is back on Orange! This might be hopeful for other N-series phones.

[bjh_101]

Just phoned Orange, and although its still not in review they are gettings lots of queries about it.

If they don't take it on then they will be shooting themselves in the foot big time!

[DeniseR]

Yes I agree and if they don't I am tempted to wait and buy it sim free when its been out a month or so.:bandit:

[boozer]

Yes I agree and if they don't I am tempted to wait and buy it sim free when its been out a month or so.:bandit:


Me too. Might re-new my cantract, get the most in demand phone that I can ebay, then used the cash to put to a n95 sim free.

Also, anyone know the price of sim free...heard speculation of £375.

[bjh_101]

Well, the preorders are £349 in the other thread. Not bad I don't think. That SIM free idea is a pretty good one really.

[bjh_101]

And might have to be done...

Just phoned Orange upgrades:

Me: "Do you have any information on if you will be getting the Nokia N95?"
CSR: "We will not being doing anymore N-Series phones"
Me: "What - never again?"
CSR: "No"
Me: "Why?"
CSR: "There are too many problems with them, so we won't invest any more money into them"
Me: "What happens if they make a really good one, and you miss out"
CSR: "That won't happen."

lol. I personally don't believe it is as simple as that. But looks like Orange might be loosing a few customers over the N95 unless they get it.

[NB2CREW]

Well if Orange stopped putting their crappy software on the phones we could all get more use out of em!

[DeniseR]

I e mailed them and the response was nothing in the system keep watching the coming soon on the website.

Should would start a new thread....................................which network is the best to go to who will be doing the n95, go sim free, or take an upgrade from orange sell it on e bay and put cash towards sim free and still use your orange sim........................mmmmmmmmmm

Perhaps I'll update my signature to include...........WANTED Nokia N95 must be locked to orange .........

[bjh_101]

Lol yes. I really don't want to risk another network. Orange still have yet to wrong me (and my contract happens to be a pretty good deal.)

I phone Orange direct sales who said they wouldn't be getting it, and then phoned Orange retentions who said it wasn't on the system, but that changes weekly.

It really doesn't look hopeful though as it looks like a March release for everyone else. I really am tempted to get it Sim free after selling an upgrade.
(I did also consider not getting it, and waiting for Orange or the iPhone - but i've read a few more previews, seen some demo pics and videos, and this phone is amazing. i must have it.)

[bjh_101]

Ok, I'm going to make it my personal mission to phone Orange (nearly) everyday about the N95 until they get it! lol.

Anybody else going to join me?!

[stevierides]

hmm, bjh_101 do you really want a fantastic phone riddled with crappy firmware? i'm possibly going to buy sim free, depending on price. i still can't see orange having it. i will however join you in badgering orange about it.
steve

[bjh_101]

I don't want the crappy firmware - but I'm basing my experiences on the N80. Orange didn't really do much to it to hurt it (apart from the photography app.)

I will of course flash with generic firmware if and when I get the opportunity.

[olly_g]

No more N series phones on orange! thats what they have just told me, plus the nokia site has no more phones coming out that look good!

The orange guy also said that sony music phones are the best they have and have the best software, so people like me who dont want an ipod on there phone are at a dead end!

They also said the SPV's are the next best, looks like we are stuck with the n80

[bjh_101]

I am not giving up that easily!

I was just told that they are unlikely to get it. But I will persist until the end! haha.

OMGOMGOMG - I just called Orange direct sales 08000792000 who said and I quote "It's penciled for the 26th of March, but the Nseries is a bit unpredictable so could change either way"

I nearly fainted at this and asked him where that information was coming from because of the talk that Orange weren't getting it. He said it came from his handset information.

We obviously need to get this confirmed. lol. I might phone back now... lol.

edit: ok that time he said no information at all about it and to keep checking the internet. but he didn't spend any time looking, whereas the first chap took a while to look for it.

[DeniseR]

I keep getting check the website for up coming phones. Hope its true and the orange cs was not having a psychosis lol

[mobieg]

if orange were not to get the phone i for one would have to go somewhere else.

[rickparmar]

this all reminds me of the nokia n80 thread back in the day

can you belive how quick its gone.

My upgrade is due, dont know what to get

now let me research N95

[Marwood]

Oh yes the excitement builds again rick!!! :)
Hope everyone is well...nice going with that date bjh!

[hoggar10]

The orange products and prices booklet (march 2007) available in orange stores states that 'the "screen dream" Nokia N95 will be coming soon in your local orange shop'.

Interesting?!?!?!

[dazzabird77]

But when is the question we want answered

OOOhhh. Sounds promising... might give them a phone...

edit: he just said that he doesn't know when it is. But he mentioned that fact it was in the magazine before I did... although he hasn't seen it yet, he thought that retail might know more.

[hoggar10]

Was merely pointing out that it is definately arriving on orange soon, people in this thread have rang CS and had mixed answers. No mention on the orange website yet either, however it is in the booklet!! Surely valid information????

[bjh_101]

I know. It is very positive information. Surely it wouldn't be put in the magazine unless they were getting it. (just like saying, look at this amazing phone, now go and join O2 for it)

It sounds like they will be getting generic versions in order to keep up with the initial demand. Probably around April - May. (Btw this last sentance was complete speculation!)

[fab]

I heard today that the N95 will be out on orange on the 3rd April. Only the main big shops will stock it at first as orange is only going to get 500 N95 on their first shipment... i guess the best way is to preorder your N95 :)

Can you pre-order on the phone? Or does it need to done in a shop?

[DeniseR]

bjh have you rung them yet............just wondered what they said

[bjh_101]

bjh have you rung them yet............just wondered what they said

It's still not in review. He said that is normally about 2 months before release. He also said he hasn't seen the March magazine yet.
I'm gonna have to try a shop I guess.

Anybody else had any luck in a shop or over the phone?

[dannyhunter]

I popped into my local orange shop yesterday to check up on this phone, and knowing that it was in their catalogue had a quick glance at it, before asking one of their employees if they had any dates yet, he seemed unsure, but his boss over heard what was said and proceeded to tell me that although it was in the catalogue she had just heard that day that orange would not be selling it despite it being in the catalogue due to nokia refusing to let orange upload their music player onto the N95. She said that it was unlikely that either side would back down and until one of them did it won't be available on orange - it all seems rather petty tbh. Looks like I'll be changing to O2 then...

Danny

[big john]

Been using this forum now for over a year, but just joined today, so Hi ALL!

I've been using it to research my current N80 and all the other N series phones i've used. I, to am on Orange, and a bit upset about what dannyhunter was told today. I had a phonecall from Orange today, asking why i hadn't upgraded yet!, well i upgrade usually every 6-9 months

Anyway, whilst searching the net tonight i came accross http://www.phoneboxdirect.com/ohandsetdetail.asp?PHONEFINDER=true&handset=Nokia%20N95 , who are taking details for a contract N95 on orange! , what do they know that you lot don't.

Well there's my tuppence worth!

[boozer]

what do they know that you lot don't.


Hi and welcome!!!

They are possibly selling orange contract with generic phones...

[bjh_101]

Well we can still hope that they give up their demands. They should realise that the Orange music player is rubbish anyway!

[Hughesy]

What on earth is an Orange music player?
Surely the N95 has built in capability enough.

It can't be stated enough times on forums like this:
Networks (you know who you are) stop messing about with the software on handsets!

[big john]

What on earth is an Orange music player?


Its Orange's attempt at a MP3 player, costs £3 for 3 tracks. Each track has an embedded license so you can't send them to another phone!

[TWD-Tony]

Just a suggestion for you guys who want the N95 on Orange (if they don't release it on Orange)... Why not get the best upgrade you can (currently) and then sell it on eBay? Use the cash towards a SIM free 95 and put your SIM in it????

I can't believe that after all the interest in the N95, Orange would refuse to stock it - that is commercial stupidity, surely keeping paying contract customers is better than getting a few £'s in downloads:confused:

[big john]

The most expensive 'free' upgrade at the mo is the SE W880i , which is on e-bay for £250-£270 at the mo. Still would need to put a few pennies together to buy it sim free.

Which makes me think how much orange are going to ask for!

I had to pay £50 for my N80 when it 1st came out, i am thinking £50-£100 for the N95!

[big john]

Just came accross this;

http://virginmedia.uk.shopping.com/xFS?linkin_id=8007093&KW=nokia+n95

The link to 'cheap mobiles' shows the Nokia N95 for free with free line rental, obviously a mistake, so i've e-mailed them! , it show's orange but will only let you select t mobile at the mo.

To good to be true, or just a mistake!

Okay then - sell your upgrade phone, your current phone, your TV, your wife and kids and a kidney:D

[big john]

Done ! , when do you want her ?

[bjh_101]

I had a call today from Orange as a "Valued Customer" they wanted to reduce my monthly spend. But she saw from my notes that I was interested in the N95. She looked in the March Magazine and couldn't see it (I couldn't tell her where to look because I havn't seen it yet either). It's also not in review. So still no idea about it.

[DeniseR]

Not good news then

[eugene_fraxby]

just thought i'd add my 2p worth, orange just called me today (valued customer, early free upgrade yada yada) i said i wanted the N95 but that i had read here that they were not sure about carrying it.....

the operator told me that it is definitely on their books, but it will be a while before it's available; "sometime in the next six months"

a

[bjh_101]

*sigh* why can't they just get their story straight and tell us (what we want to hear... lol)

[DeniseR]

*sigh* why can't they just get their story straight and tell us (what we want to hear... lol).

The "truth" !!!!!

[bjh_101]

.

The "truth" !!!!!

Well I was thinking more "Oh, we've got an N95 here with your name on. It will be delivered tomorrow for free. Thank you very much"

But, I don't actually think we are being lied to. The operators just don't know anything and they are trying to help. The powers at be at Orange should tell them what is going on so they can tell us.

[DeniseR]

That's what I meant. It's those poor souls who answer the phone that must feel awkward because no one has told them anything firm

[big john]

Probably being silly here, but how many of there is us that want the N95 on Orange? 10,20,30,50,100 ???

Why don't we arrange a time & date, and we will all send an e-mail to orange asking when the N95 will be available, and mention that we may consider changing network if it will be months and months away.

If they suddenly get hit with lots of e-mails, they might pull there finger out of there ar**s and do something about it!

Please tell me to shut up if I am gibbering on to much ! ! !

[bjh_101]

I think we are all calling and e-mailing as it is. But maybe "flash mobbing" the e-mail (and even call centres) would be fun. (Even if simply to pass the time until it comes out.) lol

[big john]

Ok, then that's 2 of us!

How about the other 1500+ guests, get joining!!

[andrewkeith5]

i'll do it...but only cause i wanna help - im not on contract and cant afford sim free

although i am fed up with orange p*sing around

Sunday at 12 noon ?

[DeniseR]

Monday 9am...............................lol

[andrewkeith5]

this will be difficult

either is okay, but monday @ 9 will have to be from my mobile as i'll be in school (albeit in a free period), so will cost me more and will be mor difficult

our stupidly overrestrictive web access (all thanks to OCN (i call it the Oxfordshire C*@p Network, its supposed to be the Oxfordshire Community Network)) i cant access orange from the schools computers

edit: wait no...i can take my laptop in on monday and connect on that (through my phone of course)...

[big john]

Monday at 9 would be fun if were phoning, but if they receive a lot of e-mails on Sunday, all the sunday staff (who only work till 4pm), will leave all the hard e-mails to the Monday morning staff, who will be even more pi***d off

[DeniseR]

Well perhaps any time sunday evening then at everyones convenience. Then all the Monday staff would have them waiting in the inbox....................

Sounds good

Cut and paste this in to the message section ;

As you are aware, I have been an Orange customer now for <x> years, and I always like to keep up to date with new technology, hence the reason my next upgrade will be the Nokia N95.

However, since no-one is able to give me confirmation of when this phone will be available on the Orange network, I may have to venture to one of the 'other' networks who are promising this phone at the start of April.

I may be convinced to remain with Orange, if you can confirm this phone will definitely become available, and within a reasonable time scale.

I look forward to your reply.

<END>

You will get a confirmation e-mail with a ref. number on it shortly after sending, give them 48 hours to reply, and then call them with the refernce number.

Then post your replies on here, see how many different emails we get. Or we may all get the same one.

"Please keep an eye on the coming soon section!"

consider it done: sunday anytime after 4pm, then call them on tuesday

[RevdKathy]

I was preparing to upgrade to the N75 and quite happy to do so (not knowing about the N95). But the assistant in the Orange Shop (who's a great person) actually told me not to. She said that the N95 was expected - though she couldn't absolutely guarantee that Orange were going to carry it. She said that the store wouldn't get certain confirmation until a couple of days before, hopefull in a week or two. And that she'd ring me in the next fortnight if there's any news - or I could have the N75 if they don't take it. I might wait and have the N95 with another carrier in a few months.

[dannyhunter]

According to Phonebox direct, Orange will be carrying it. Orange's own website is still mute. But other people are a bit more on the ball.

See here: http://www.phoneboxdirect.co.uk/ohandsetdetail.asp?handset=Nokia%20N95&ProductID=CAN4018-P0NOKIAN95&referer=af

[buckeye]

I call spam above, the link even has a referer in it. The web site looks pretty dubious as well and poorly presented.

I'll be sending an email as well, but I really think decisions will be made from the top down rather by the bottom up, even with a mass of emails. It's sad if what the store manager said that what will prevent Orange getting the N95 is due to Nokia not allowing their music player to be installed. I wish networks would stop putting unecessary superfluous software crap on phones, perhaps they will then realise people will have less software issues with their phone.

Although saying this I've being an Orange customer since 2000 but think I'm going to switch over to T-Mob with the Web n' Walk plan which without getting would make the N95 would be pointless/very expensive for me.

I've been told by CS that it will be 'definitely available by the end of the year', they clearly have no idea whats going on and perhaps nobody that customers can speak to will have until around April.

[JensUAA]

I just found this thread because I too am looking for the N95 without leaving Orange.

I live in Newcastle and have a fair few friends who work in Orange S&S, I asked the most senior and clued up of them about upgrading to the N95. Yes it'll be possible, time-wise, it'll be in a month or so.

[big john]

Hi, m8 & welcome.

I hope your friend is right, as there is quite a lot of us that are loyal Orange customers, and don't want to have to leave, unless were forced to.

[ralph.holmes]

Just had an email from bestbuy moblie phones they say N95 available to pre order on Orange Canary 40 (18 month) £79.99
They also say IN STOCK on T Moblie from £84.95

Its nice to see other networks getting this phone. Collectivley it should help to bring the price down after the first month or so.

[DeniseR]

Sent my e mail. Well sent one last night and one again just now

[bjh_101]

E-mail has just been sent.

I am still quietly confident.

I remember getting the 7610. No one knew about it, then suddenly Orange got it first. Then the N80 and homescreen etc. Orange released it first with barely any branding. So i think Orange will suprise us shortly... they seem to have a habit of keeping us guessing though. lol

[big john]

email sent

Hope you all remember to remove the <x> and put how long you've been with them for :laugh: :laugh:

[DeniseR]

big john if I could remember how long I have been with them I would have, so I put in several years lol

[v6pug]

The N95 is in the Orange UK March catalogue from the Orange shop.
Ity's also listed in the Carphone Warehouse March catalogue as being available on Orange soon.

Fingers crossed,... I was after the N93,... but then the N95 came out!!!

Went in CPW and Orange Retail this weekend and they did not have any dummys yet.
I noticed they were in the printed material print last weekend when i went in CPW and Orange retail.

Dont know if its worth mentioning but the nokia shop in southampton has a dummy display model of the N95 available and lists the phone in its catalogue and on display as available on T-Mobile and Vodafone (Although vodafone is something ridiculous like £75 a month) But theres currently no price listing for orange, three or o2, it just says N/A. I couldnt find any details on the actual release date of the model or anything and i didnt really have time to ask the staff, might go back tomorrow and check.

I'm on a Premier £55 tarrif with Orange currently. I've got two other phones on Orange contracts all under the family plan.
I'm hoping that i get it for free as the monthly bill for three phones is close on £180.
If it comes out in the end.......!

This looks hopeful!

Flext 25 + web/walk = £32.50 per month and £200 for the N95.
THAT`LL DO FER ME!!!

Is that flext on t-mobile's website? Yeah i think i might go for that too

Orange are always last to get new phones because they like to cram them with silly firmware.

T-mobile, Voda are both definites and Three also has suprised on many occasions by bringing new handsets out like this out of the blue.

But as for Orange customers, request a PAC code or look forward to your next upgrade option: a top of the range Moto V3 RZR on the brand new Hippo tarrif!! (Sarcasm intended for anyone who is waiting the correct me lol)

The futures bright.... but instead choose Orange ;)

Sorry cant you tell im a Orange hater (see my other posts to find out why!)
