Advice on Nokia N95Hi Leoni,

That slide to end a call feature - the one that is missing on the N95 is a bit 
of a problem.  I'm not sure if Nokia plan to implement it.  The N95 has had 
lots of software issues which seem to be getting sorted out now.

  Charles,

      I've had my N95 for a couple of months now. It's very easy to use, I find 
the buttons of a good size and responsive.

      I use Talks on my phone. It's highly configurable and yes, you can have 
it set to echo each key as you hit it.

      All the standard menus are accessible, and text messages are easy to read 
and send. Essential functions such as the address book and other tools all seem 
useable so far.

      It's a good office away from home, with good networking connectivity, 
email and web access. It seems to have a reasonable battery life, needing a 
recharge every two to three days for me.

      From a usability point of view, I find the slide mechanism opens too 
easily when I have the phone in my back trouser pocket. It's only a matter of 
time before I call someone up by accident I suspect.

      I also find it strange that although you answer a call by sliding the 
phone open, you don't hang up by closing it. My first phone bill was 
horrendous, because I wasn't killing calls when I thought I was. 

      That said, it's a good phone. It's versatile and user friendly. Expect a 
learning curve if you're not familiar with mobile phones in general, but one of 
the appealing things about Nokia is that they're relatively easy to get the 
hang of.

  Léonie.

  Hi

  I am considering getting a Nokia N95 on which I can install a speech 
programme, however here in France I am having difficulty getting one to see how 
easy it is to handle.

  Can those of you who use one let me know what it is like in a practical way 
to use? For instance are the buttons easy to use and is the interface 
intuitive? I have not used a mobile for years and they have become very small. 
My wife's phone is very small and the buttons are depressed and difficult to 
separate.

  What about the different speech programmes. Do they speak as you enter each 
number? How much of the rest of the functions are spoken?

  Any useful practical information would be welcome.

  I won't be buying in France, it's too expensive especially with the tax 
imposed from last month on all multi media phones, and so does anyone know of a 
good honest supplier in the UK.

  Thanks.

  Kind regards



  Charles Crisp
