[bcab] Re: Advice on Nokia N95

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.

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
