Hi Jackie,

The N95 does not have a Zenon Flash or whatever its called though, so how can 
it possibly work? The KNFB website does not say it works.

Hi Martin

It is, while stocks last, as the N82 is becoming increasingly difficult to get 
hold of.  It also works on the 6220 Classic.

We supply the phone unlocked, which means you can choose the operator of your 
choice.

And just to reiterate, the K-NFB Reader software works on the N95.

Is that for the n82. And, is it unlocked to all service providers?
