Not many nokia's come with screen protector, also about the memory card the best bet is to buy one from ebay.

Was in 3 today and asked about the n95. The dude behind the counter said its coming to three and will be exclusive to them for a month. He didnt know a date but said should be out around the end of the month/ start of next month.

They are doing tests on it at the mo to see if it will be compatible with the network and X-series. So also x-series could a go here too....

not a hope in hell.... sorry. I'm still waiting on the W950i which 3 said would be out in 2 weeks.. .... last November!
x-series even looks doubtful now that 3 are doing the broadband add on's which seem to directly contravene an x-series offering here. They are too similar, there would then be too many options, as they are watching how x-series is going down in the uk.. they look like they are trying a different data model in Ireland to see how it will go..

Unfortunately they no next to nothing in the 3 shops. Its not their fault, they are simply not told by or are wholly inexperienced in technical matters beyond selling handsets so they end up bull****ting everyone who walks in just to get through their day.

No way is it going to be on any network in ireland for another few weeks or months.
Its a brand new phone and sim free prices are mad at the moment and not stable.No network will put them on the network until it calms down abit.

you could well be correct. There used to be an "X Series" link at the bottom of the main www.three.ie webpage and it disappeared about 3 weeks ago.

Was that with regular use or were you going through the new toy phase playing with the camera, wi-fi , music etc ?

What advantage would you say it has over the N91 8GB?

Got my N95 a week ago today. Having a few problems. 1st the slider has become loose on the right side. I would expect something like this after a couple of months, not 7 days. 2nd half the time the person i am calling cannot hear me at all and i can hear myself talking. There is a big hiss in the earspeaker and my gps never locks on. Going back with it tomorrow to try and exchange it for another. Hopefully shouldnt be a problem.

jesus_thats_gre

Defo gonna pick up one of these when the price drops to in or around €500..

Im in the same boat.I will pick one up in the next 2-3 weeks but i donot think it will fall to 500 soon

jesus_thats_gre

Meh see if I can swing one in work - somehow

rahenyguy

rahenyguy

i have that hiss as well,think its something to do with the backlighting of the screen

the rrp for the phone is kinda high in my opinion no matter how many functions it has and certainly after these few opinions im not tempted at all to get one.im sure the price will come down soon as typical of nokias ( referring to the non limited series of course)
its ridicolous that people have problems with calling from a phone with those specs
