Hi guys
I've on o2 using a Vodafone v1605 (TyTN) at the moment.
I have the option of switching the TyTN to a N95 on the 9 April when Vodafone get stock - this will be cost free.
It's a hard decision because apart from some irritating QA issues, the TyTN has been superb and exactly what I'd looked for for a long time.
I may end up taking the N95 and go back to too devices - I have a 2750 ipaq running WM5 which may be a stop gap. I have a huge amount of WM s/w.
My concerns with the N95 are data entry - I currently struggle how to see I can be productive without a touch screen or permanent keyboard. Can you guys tell me how you can do significant data entry - what is the experience like ? Also ... how can you navigate the web browser properly ?
If I do go back to a 2 device solution - I will need to use the N95 as a bluetooth 3.5G modem.
Do you know if this will be possible ? The TyTN has a data modem mode which works well ... but I'm not sure about the N95.
Also ... as regard the GPS ... I'm told it will use a standard GPS API - not sure if this is basic NMEA or Sirf binary ... but if this is the case ... I struggle to understand why it can't be used as a Bluetooth GPS ... which I've read it can't be.
I understand no one probably has the device yet .... but you may have far more knowledge of Nokia smartphones than me (I have zero knowledge at the moment of any type of smartphone).
Cheers
Paul.
