[Demo86]

hi,

i just recived my n95 today i upgraded from the n80 and im very happy with it the n80 feels ancient already haha!!

i just woundered what all you guys have done to get the most out of the phone... i see there is a satnav im gonna try get that working... i only have a 256k card im looking at getting a 2gb one off ebay. I saw a few posts about upgrading firmware does this add anything to my phone cuz im not up on all the techno info about this kinda stuff lol!! anyway any info would be appreceated thanks!!

Make sure your firmware is fully updated (to v12) and you have turned on AGPS (settings/general/positioning/postioning methods), otherwise the GPS will take a loong time to find a satellite.

One good way of using the GPS is with Google/Microsoft maps - download MGmaps - it is amazing.

Buya 4gb microsd, you can get them inc del for £35 - be careful of ebay - its hard to guarantee they are genuine cards.

Install Fring - then you can chat using MSN and call/chat using Skype.:)

thanks for the info... i just tryed the gps thing it wanted a £40 subscription to use maps so i'll check out that thing u said... i think it must have the most recent firmware because it has that assisted gps thing and it connected (i think) pretty quickly. i downloaded msn and it works great!! i just had a look on ebay is there a specific breand i should go for i had a 1gb for the n80 made by kingston and it worked fine so i might go for them again and it came with a lil adapter to fit a mmc slot and a lil case. really happy with it though its a great phone!!

Well if you want a 4gb card (which you do) then it's a Sandisc.

Vimio TV - pretty good app - you can watch Skynews/CNN on it.
Sportstracker - if you go jogging, this is a great app, allows you to track your progress on google maps
Quake - you can play the PC version on your N95, look on another thread in here for details.
Truphone - allows you to call landlines around the world for free using VOIP on your phone.
vBag - You can play Gambeboy advance games on the N95


Those are pretty much the apps I have installed on my N95 anyway. Games are pretty limited on it unfortunately. We will have to wait for the N-gage platform to become available.

PS - I have a 2gb Scandisk microSd card hanging around if you want one 2nd hand?? (its only 2 month old - I have a 4gb one now)

hi thanks for the info im gunan look into them later on when i get the chance!!

how much are you looking for the card m8? i have got a paypal account im not bothered about 2nd hand its not really the type of thing that gets "worn out" it just sits there inside your phone ;) that truphone thing sounds interesting thanks alot for all this info i wouldnt know where to start looking for most this stuff haha!!! btw is there a way to make the sound come out any louder? like the headphones that came with it are really nice and longer than my old ones so i wanna keep usin em just its not quite as loud as id like it if you know what i mean.

cheers, demo!
